Additionally, we are excited to offer Azure DSVM for PyTorch (preview), which is an Ubuntu 20.04 image from Azure Marketplace that is optimized for large, distributed deep learning workloads. It comes preinstalled and validated with the latest PyTorch version to reduce setup costs and accelerate time to value. It comes packaged with various optimization functionalities (ONNX Runtime, DeepSpeed, MSCCL, ORTMoE, Fairscale, Nvidia Apex), as well as an up-to-date stack with the latest compatible versions of Ubuntu, Python, PyTorch, CUDA.

In the DSVM, your training models can use deep learning algorithms on hardware that's based on graphics processing units (GPUs). By taking advantage of the VM scaling capabilities of the Azure platform, the DSVM helps you use GPU-based hardware in the cloud according to your needs. You can switch to a GPU-based VM when you're training large models, or when you need high-speed computations while keeping the same OS disk. You can choose any of the N series GPUs enabled virtual machine SKUs with DSVM. Note GPU enabled virtual machine SKUs are not supported on Azure free accounts.

You can also deploy the Ubuntu or Windows editions of the DSVM to an Azure virtual machine that isn't based on GPUs. In this case, all the deep learning frameworks will fall back to the CPU mode.
