Note:
These recommendations are for reference only. Select an appropriate instance model based on your needs.
To use NVIDIA GPU instances for 3D rendering tasks such as high-performance graphics processing and video encoding and decoding, you need to install a GRID driver and configure a license server. For GNV4v, GNV4, and GN7vw instances, you can select a specified image with a GRID driver preinstalled and a license server preconfigured.
GNV4v, GNV4, and GN7vw instance clusters provide vGPU instance types that support vDWs and vWs. They also support graphics APIs such as DirectX and OpenGL.
Service Options
Spot instances and pay-as-you-go instances are supported.
Instances can be launched in VPC.
Instances can be connected to other services such as CLB, without additional management and Ops costs. Private network traffic is free of charge.
