Welcome to the Cloud Wars Minute — your daily cloud news and commentary show. Each episode provides insights and perspectives around the “reimagination machine” that is the cloud.
In today’s Cloud Wars Minute, guest host Kieron Allen discusses an ecosystem partnership between Google Cloud and NVIDIA surrounding infrastructure for AI models.
Highlights
00:05 — Google Cloud is adding support for NVIDIA’s L4 graphics processing units on Google Cloud Run, which is a managed compute platform that enables developers to run containers directly on top of Google infrastructure to rapidly build apps, websites, and other online workloads without the need to handle infrastructure management.
00:33 — Google Cloud Run has been touted as an excellent option for running real-time AI inference applications for GenAI models; support for NVIDIA’s GPUs supercharges these capabilities. Google Cloud Run can manage inferencing for a variety of large language models (LLMs).
01:13 — When an app isn’t in use, the service automatically scales down to zero so customers aren’t charged for it. Google Cloud increasingly offers the models to support AI innovation and the infrastructure that makes it easier to undertake.
