AMD Developer Cloud gives developers direct access to AMD GPU acceleration built on DigitalOcean infrastructure. Its preconfigured environments and transparent credit system are designed for students, researchers, and AI startups.
AI/ML-Ready Image
We strongly recommend creating AMD GPU Droplets using our AI/ML-ready image. This image has AMD drivers and software preinstalled and configured to help you get started.
The AI/ML-ready image is based on Ubuntu 24.04 and includes:
rocm: 6.4.0amdgpu-dkms: 6.12.12JupyterLab: 4.4.2
You can choose this image when you create a GPU Droplet from the control panel or specify it by slug name when you create a GPU using the API or doctl. For all single- and multi-GPU Droplets, use gpu-amd-base.
