Azure Data Science Virtual Machines (DSVM) vs. NVIDIA RAPIDS

Azure DSVM is useful in [a] Machine Learning environment where GPU-based processing is [required]. [The] most relevant [users] for the Azure DSVM is in ML/AI for model training and processing [high-end] CPU tasks with GPU compatibility. Azure DSVM is built for [a] startup to low medium IT environments where the ML/AI-based projects are [carried] out.

NVIDIA RAPIDS drastically improves our productivity with near-interactive data science. And increases machine learning model accuracy by iterating on models faster and deploying them more frequently. It gives us the freedom to execute end-to-end data science and analytics pipelines.

• Azure DSVM pricing must be reduced so that an AI-based start-up can use the Azure DSVM.
• Azure must create an environment to use Azure DSVM offline as well.
• Lack of frameworks

• Its not flexible and cost effective for all sizes of organizations.
• I appreciate it has hassle-free integration.

RAPIDS GPU accelerates machine learning to make the entire data science and analytics workflows run faster, also helps build databases and machine learning applications effectively. It also allows faster model deployment and iterations to increase machine learning model accuracy. The great value of money.

Incentivized

• Azure DSVM is little costly with long term support for ML based environments.
• Azure DSVM is very good for short tasking and costs us [a] little low than the on-prem server.
• [Scaling] option is very convenient.

• Efficient way to complete tasks
• De-facto GPUs standard
