> "Using GPUs inside of containers is a challenge. There are driver issues, system dependencies, and configuration challenges. It’s a new space that’s not well-explored, yet. There’s not a lot of people out there trying to run multiple GPU jobs inside a Docker container.”

Er, Nvidia itself has an official Docker application which allows containers to interface with the host GPU, optimized for the deep learning use case: https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker

Training models is one thing that can commoditized, like with this API, but building models and selecting features without breaking the rules of statistics is another story and is the true bottleneck for deep learning. That can't be automated as easily.
