Overview of OVHcloud AI Tools - AI Notebooks, AI Training, AI Deploy

View as Markdown

Learn the main differences between the OVHcloud managed tools (AI Notebooks, AI Training, and AI Deploy) for building your machine learning projects.

 

Overview

OVHcloud AI tools work inside our Public Cloud ecosystem. Once logged in to your Public Cloud project, you have access to three AI tools:

  • AI Notebooks
  • AI Training
  • AI Deploy

Each of them is an autonomous tool and is billed per minute with per-second granularity, but they have shared elements, such as security tokens, etc.

All AI Tools have access to OVHcloud Object Storage as a central point, allowing you to work with your data securely and easily.

We structure our AI offers this way:

AI Tools comparison

The tables below show the features and abilities of each of the three AI tools:

  • AI Notebooks: Managed Jupyter or VSCode notebook, linked to compute resources (CPU or GPU) and storage.
  • AI Training: Automate your training, deploy your own Docker container, linked to compute resources (CPU or GPU), and attached storage.
  • AI Deploy: Deploy your own AI application and models with high availability via Docker containers or select one from our catalog.
Info

Please note that whatever other differences may be between them, all three tools are billed per minute with per-second granularity.
