Amazon ECS Managed Instances now supports NVIDIA GPU metrics

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now offers NVIDIA GPU metrics for containerized workloads running on Amazon ECS Managed Instances. These metrics are available through Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights with enhanced observability, giving customers visibility into GPU health and performance to help troubleshoot and optimize GPU-accelerated workloads on Amazon ECS.

With the new GPU metrics, Amazon ECS Managed Instances customers can now monitor GPU capacity, utilization, memory, hardware health, and thermal conditions directly in CloudWatch. Using Container Insights with enhanced observability, customers get granular visibility into these metrics, including at the GPU device level. These metrics give customers visibility into GPU operational and hardware health across their Amazon ECS Managed Instances fleet, enabling them to right-size GPU capacity, troubleshoot performance issues, and detect problems before they impact GPU-accelerated workloads, such as AI/ML training and inference.

NVIDIA GPU metrics for Amazon ECS Managed Instances are available through Container Insights in all commercial AWS Regions. To get started, enable Container Insights with enhanced observability on your Amazon ECS cluster, and launch GPU-accelerated Amazon EC2 instance types through an Amazon ECS Managed Instances capacity provider.
