So, does this snapshotting optimization support arbitrary containers?
I'm currently planning to deploy using Amazon SageMaker, but a cold start takes a whopping ~9 minutes: 6 minutes for instance provisioning + 3 minutes for PyTorch initialization. My Docker image is ~14 GB, and the weights are a few GB.
How long would it take to cold start this configuration on
Modal?
SageMaker's performance makes it pretty much useless without many warm instances around (= tens of thousands of dollars per month), because users won't be happy if they have to randomly wait 9 minutes
