Basically a set of fine-tuned virtual machine images for Amazon Cloud.

Yeah, I was hoping that this would be an nvidia managed cloud platform as a new competitor in the space. With only AWS, Azure, and Google there is definitely room for another deep learning cloud competitor. But this announcement makes sense in the context of the new AWS P3 instances, so there is definitely a partnership going on that nvidia wouldnt break from.

Integrates with steam and battle.net. So you can play your games. Free in beta. I’ve been telling everyone I know about it. I can play pubg on ultra settings. There’s an extremely occasional skip but playing natively would do that too. I know I…

Thanks for this, I had no idea it existed and it looks amazing! Definitely trying it out tonight.

IBM Bluemix got an IaaS layer as well. It was previously called softlayer, but is now wrapped under the Bluemix brand. https://www.ibm.com/cloud-computing/bluemix/info/softlayer-i...

Ah didn't know that, thanks! Looking further though, I see Softlayer does offer GPU for bare metal provisioning [0]. But it is not available in Virtual machines. Also, even for the GPU offering, it doesn't mention the details at all, not even if it is OpenCL or CUDA. [0] https://www.ibm.com/cloud-computing/bluemix/bare-metal-searc...
