Description

Azure Container Apps now support Serverless GPUs in public preview. Serverless GPUs enable you to seamlessly run your AI workloads on-demand with automatic scaling, optimized cold start, per-second billing with scale down to zero when not in use, and reduced operational overhead to support easy real-time custom model inferencing and other machine learning tasks.  

 

Serverless GPUs accelerate the speed of your AI development team by allowing you to focus on your core AI code and Azure Container Apps now supports Serverless GPUs in public preview. Serverless GPUs enable you to seamlessly run your AI workloads with automatic scaling, optimized cold start, per-second billing with scale down to zero when not in use, and reduced operational overhead to support easy, real-time custom model inferencing and other machine learning tasks. 

Serverless GPUs less on managing infrastructure when using GPUs. They provide an excellent middle layer option between Azure AI Model Catalog's serverless APIs and hosting models on managed compute. It provides full data governance as your data never leaves the boundaries of your container while still providing a managed, serverless platform from which to build your applications. 

 

At public preview launch, serverless GPUs powered by NVIDIA A100 and NVIDIA T4 GPUs, will be supported in limited regions. For the most up-to-date pricing and region availability for Serverless GPUs in Azure Container Apps, checkout the pricing page.
