We’ve not had issues getting T4 GPU instances from AWS. We faced difficulties provisioning A100 and AWS is annoying that the 2 tiers are either T4 or directly A100’s I think.

We use AWS GPU machines for our CI but for serious ML training workloads we use GCP L4 GPU instances. Even in GCP we couldn’t provision or A or H100 (our quota itself is just 1 GPU of these instances) but we’ve never had issues provisioning L4 GPU’s and I think that’s enough for smaller not LLM Scale Models. For LLM scale startups, it’s tough provisioning GPU’s even if you have money.

(We’re based in Bay Area btw)
