An ecommerce company wants to train a large image classification model with 10.

Amazon SageMaker managed spot training allows for cost-effective training by utilizing Spot Instances, which are lower-cost EC2 instances that can be interrupted when demand is high. By enabling checkpointing in SageMaker, the company can save intermediate model states to Amazon S3, allowing training to resume from the last checkpoint if interrupted. This solution minimizes operational overhead by automating the checkpointing process and resuming work after interruptions, reducing the need for retraining from scratch.

This setup provides a reliable and cost-efficient approach to training large models with minimal operational overhead and risk of data loss.
