In my previous article I briefly described SageMaker — generic Machine Learning service from Amazon, launched in November 2017. Although SageMakes is a great service, it may not suit everyone. At least it did not work for us due to the way it handles the data and, most importantly, due to its high pricing. So, we turned to #aws EC2 and its Spot Instances.First I am going to explain what Spot Instances are, how to use them for Deep Learning, and what does it take.
