Overview of workload-optimized images

Workload-optimized images provide a single source of trusted, performance-tuned OS images combined with preinstalled software stacks to support specialized workloads. These images remove the need for manual image building.

Cloud de Confiance by S3NS offers customized workload-optimized images to assist with running your applications and workloads:

  • Advanced Compute Images (Preview)
  • HPC VM images
  • Deep Learning VM Images

Advanced Compute Images

Advanced Compute Images provide high-performance images to support your artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and high performance computing (HPC) workloads on Cloud de Confiance by S3NS.

Advanced Compute Images are preconfigured with specialized drivers and tools so you can deploy compute-heavy workloads without manual image building. Each image version is configured with the necessary drivers, network fabrics, and Slurm agents to help you run your workloads.

For more information, see Overview of Advanced Compute Images.
