Pulling containers

To run applications on AI Cloud, you must use container images. On AI Cloud we use the container software, Singularity.

What is a container image?

A container image is a static, portable file that contains all the components needed to run a piece of software, including the code, runtime, system tools, libraries, and settings.

Pulling container images

You can access a wide array of container images by visiting NVIDIA GPU Cloud (NGC) and exploring whether NVIDIA provides a container image for the application you require. Refer to our guide here for detailed instructions.

Build your own container images

You also have the flexibility to create your own container images tailored to your specific environment requirements. Refer to our guide on building your own container image.
