Getting started with AWS Deep Learning Containers
Containers allow developers, engineers, and system administrators to run processes, scripts, and applications inside consistent isolated environments. This consistency is guaranteed since these containers are launched from container images, similar to how EC2 instances are launched from Amazon Machine Images (AMIs).
It is important to note that we can run different isolated containers at the same time inside an instance. This allows engineering teams to make the most of the computing power available to the existing instances and run different types of processes and workloads, similar to what we have in the following diagram:

One of the most popular container management solutions available is Docker. It is an open source containerization platform that allows developers and engineers to easily build, run, and manage containers. It...
