Amazon EC2 Capacity Blocks for ML is now available in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions
Amazon EC2 Capacity Blocks for ML is now available in AWS GovCloud (US-West) and AWS GovCloud (US-East), enabling government and regulated-industry customers to reserve GPU capacity for machine learning workloads. EC2 Capacity Blocks for ML allows you to reserve GPU instances in advance for a defined duration, giving you assured access to accelerated compute for short-duration pre-training, fine-tuning, rapid prototyping, and inference demand surges. Capacity Blocks deliver low-latency, high-throughput connectivity through colocation in Amazon EC2 UltraClusters. You can reserve capacity up to
The increasing demand for AI capabilities within the government and regulated sectors, combined with the need for assured compute access, drives the expansion of specialized cloud services.
This development ensures that sensitive government and regulated workloads can leverage advanced GPU compute for AI/ML while adhering to compliance and security requirements.
Government and regulated entities now have dedicated, reservable GPU capacity in AWS GovCloud, enabling more robust and secure AI/ML development and deployment.
