Today NVIDIA announced the NGC catalog now provides a one-click deploy feature to run Jupyter notebooks on Google Cloud’s Vertex AI Workbench.
Developing AI with your favorite tool, Jupyter Notebooks, just got easier due to a partnership between NVIDIA and Google Cloud.
The NVIDIA NGC catalog offers GPU-optimized frameworks, SDKs, pretrained AI models, and example notebooks to help you build AI solutions faster. To further speed up your development workflow, a simplified deployment of this software with the NGC catalog’s new one-click deploy feature was released today.
Simply go to the software page in the NGC catalog and click on “Deploy” to get started. Under the hood, this feature: launches the JupyterLab instance on Google Cloud Vertex AI Workbench with optimal configuration; preloads the software dependencies; and downloads the NGC notebook in one go. You can also change the configuration before launching the instance.
Release highlights include
- Hundreds of Jupyter Notebooks for the most popular AI use-cases.
- One click to run NGC Jupyter Notebooks on a Google Cloud Vertex AI Workbench.
- Automated setup with optimal configuration, preloaded dependencies, and ready-to-run Notebooks.
- Data scientists can focus on building production-grade models for faster time to market.
You can deploy frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch from the NGC catalog to Google Cloud Vertex AI Workbench with this feature. This will create the instance, load the framework, and create a blank notebook to start your development.
And in case you are deploying a pretrained model from the NGC catalog, it will load the model, the framework associated with that model, other dependencies, and a blank notebook on a preconfigured instance.
Now, you can start executing your code right away without needing any IT expertise to configure the development environment.
To quickly get started, we offer Jupyter Notebook examples for hundreds of use-cases including:
- Computer Vision: A collection of models built for detecting human actions, gestures, emotions, and more.
- Automatic Speech Recognition: End-to-end workflow for text-to-speech training and deployment.
- Forest Inference LIbrary: Shows the procedure to deploy a XGBoost model in Triton Inference Server with Forest Inference Library (FIL) backend.
- Recommendation: These example notebooks demonstrate how to use NVTabular with TensorFlow, PyTorch, and HugeCTR. Each example provides additional details about the end-to-end workflow, which includes ETL, Training, and Inference.
And this is just the beginning. We will keep adding more examples across use cases and industries to help you accelerate your AI development.
