There are two issues, Google offers a black box service where your Tensor Flow model gets optimized. While AWS offers a generic instance which is far more flexible and can be used with multiple frameworks. Second AWS offers spot pricing on GPU instances (though not on P2 instances yet) which can offer significant discount depending on the type of workload.
I would say that while I still have to evaluate Google Cloud ML, AWS offers a far far better experience and cost effectiveness.
- andrioni 10y agoThey already offer spot p2 instances, although I think the main spot pricing history widget isn't up to date yet. The current minimum spot price seems to be 0.09 USD/hour for a p2.2xlarge, and there have already been steep price fluctuations for p2.16xlarges in the past hour.
- aub3bhat 10y agoOh wow they do, 0.09$ per hour thats cool! Hopefully it will take another week for others to transfer their models from g2 instances, should reduce price pressure!
