If someone creates a Juju Charm https://jujucharms.com for this, then you can use the pre-configured service on any of the major public clouds.

We work with the ubuntu team on juju.

That doesn't do the Cuda/cuDNN stuff does it? (Ie, the hard, error prone part).

Right. So we'll be adding cuda and all that as well.

We are working very closely with canonical/IBM on the whole DL stack[1]. You will also see some stuff from us and nvidia here within the next month or so on making cuda a bit easier to setup in a normal data science "stack" eg: jvm/python hybrid product stacks. Cudnn has tricky licensing but it shouldn't be that bad to automate setting up the cuda part.

Pretty sure you can't do that because of the stupid NVidia license/download thing.

Our enterprise distro(cdh for deep learning) will include mkl and cudnn.

I will work out what we are allowed to do licemse wise. Reach out to adam@skymind.io if that is interesting.
