• Container Service : Most often Kubernetes to run LLM Serving solutions like Hugging Face Text Generation Inference or vLLM.


• Compute Resources : GPUs for running models, CPUs for management services


• Networking and DNS : Routing traffic to the appropriate servic

However development time, and maintenance can offset these savings. Hiring skilled data scientists, machine learning engineers, and DevOps professionals can be expensive and time consuming. Using available resources for “reimplementing” solutions hinder innovation and lead to a lack of focus. Since You not longer work on improving your model or pro... See more
