Comparative tables - AI Notebooks, AI Training, AI Deploy
Objective
OVHcloud provides a set of managed tools designed for building your machine learning projects. This guide explains the main differences between our AI tools, commonly called AI Notebooks, AI Training and AI Deploy.
Overview
OVHcloud AI tools work inside our Public Cloud ecosystem. Once logged in to your Public Cloud project, you have access to AI tools including:
- AI Notebooks
- AI Training
- AI Deploy
Each of them is an autonomous tool, billed per minute and with shared elements, such as security tokens, etc.
All AI Tools have access to OVHcloud Object Storage as a central point, allowing you to work with your data securely and easily.
We schematize our AI offers this way:
