Comparative tables between AI Notebooks, AI Training, AI Apps
Discover the main differences between each of the OVHcloud AI tools' bricks
Last updated January 5th, 2022.
Objective
OVHcloud provides a set of managed tools designed for building your machine learning projects. This guide explains the main differences between our AI tools, commonly called AI Notebooks, AI Training and AI Apps.
Overview
OVHcloud AI tools work inside our Public Cloud ecosystem. Once logged in to your Public Cloud project, you have access to AI tools including:
- AI Notebooks
- AI Training
- AI Apps
Each of them are autonomous tools, billed per minute and with shared elements, such as security tokens, etc.
All AI Tools have access to OVHcloud Object Storage as a central point, allowing you to work with your data securely and easily.
We schematize our AI offers this way:
