Training a Deep Learning Speech Synthesis Model on AWS Spot Instances Using Spotty
Training deep learning models on AWS requires manually managing GPU instances, Docker environments, volumes, and spot instance lifecycles — a complex and expensive setup without dedicated tooling.
How it works
Common implementation structure
How this type of workflow is generally built, generalized across documented cases — not tied to any one vendor's stack. Click any stage to read what happens there. Specific products that implement these stages appear in “Tools commonly seen” below.
Stage 1 · Create Docker environment
A Dockerfile is created extending the official TensorFlow image to install all required libraries for the model.
