Control GPU machine to start and stop from one function?

Thanks to Google cloud we get free credits for running GPU on cloud, but we getting stuck at a very beginning.

We use to get images daily for processing through machine learning model, but somehow GPU System are not getting used through out the day is there any way we can control this system to start and stop once all the images are processed through one function? Which we can call through cron at specific day and timing.

I have heard about aws lambda but am not sure of what google cloud can provide for this problem.

Thanks in Advance.

Solution

  • You can use Cloud Scheduler for this use cases or you can trigger Cloud Function when images are available and process it.

    However, the free $300 quota is for training and innovation purpose not for actual production application.
