Pre-built containers for custom training

AI Platform (Unified) provides Docker container images that you run as pre-built containers for custom training. These containers, which are organized by machine learning (ML) framework and framework version, include common dependencies that you might want to use in training code. In many cases, using a pre-built container is simpler than creating your own custom container for training.

This document lists the pre-built containers for training, and it describes how to use them with a Python training application.

Available container images

Each of the following container images is available in several Artifact Registry repositories, which store data in various locations. You can use any of the URIs for an image when you perform custom training; each provides the same container image. If you use the Google Cloud Console to perform custom training, the Cloud Console selects the URI that best matches the location where you are using AI Platform in order to reduce latency.

Using a pre-built container

To use a pre-built container, read the guide to configuring container settings.

If you are using a container image that supports GPUs, make sure to specify the machineSpec.acceleratorType and machineSpec.acceleratorCount fields when you create your CustomJob, HyperparameterTuningJob, or TrainingPipeline resource.
