EKS GPU Cluster from Zero to Hero
Introduction If you ever tried to run a GPU workload on Kubernetes cluster, you know that this task requires non-trivial configuration and comes with high cost tag (GPU instances are quite expensive). This post shows how to run a GPU workload on Kubernetes cluster in cost effective way, using AWS EKS cluster, AWS Auto Scaling, Amazon EC2 Spot Instances and some Kubernetes resources and configurations. EKS Cluster Plan First we need to create a Kubernetes cluster that consists from mixed nodes, non-GPU nodes for management and generic Kubernetes workload and more expensive GPU nodes to run GPU intensive tasks, like machine learning, medical analysis, seismic exploration, video transcoding and others.
