A cloud engineer is looking to deploy a digital fingerprinting pipeline using NVIDIA Morpheus and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise Virtual Machine Image…

The NVIDIA AI Enterprise Virtual Machine Image (VMI) is a pre-configured, optimized image designed for streamlined deployment on major public cloud platforms. To facilitate this, NVIDIA distributes the VMI directly through the official marketplaces of cloud service providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This allows a cloud engineer to easily find and launch a virtual machine instance with the entire NVIDIA AI Enterprise software stack, including drivers and toolkits, fully installed and ready for immediate use with services like NVIDIA Morpheus.

A. Github and Dockerhub: These platforms are used for hosting source code and container images, respectively, not complete Virtual Machine Images (VMIs).

C. NVIDIA NGC: While NGC is the central hub for NVIDIA's GPU-optimized software containers, models, and SDKs, the cloud-specific VMI itself is deployed from the cloud provider's marketplace.

D. Developer Forums: Forums are platforms for community discussion, collaboration, and support, not for the official distribution of production-grade software images.

1. NVIDIA AI Enterprise Deployment Guide (v4.0): In Chapter 3, "Deploying in the Public Cloud," the guide explicitly states, "NVIDIA AI Enterprise is available in the AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud marketplaces. The NVIDIA AI Enterprise Virtual Machine Image (VMI) includes the NVIDIA driver, Docker, the NVIDIA container toolkit, and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise support utility." (Page 10).
