How to Deploy GPU-Accelerated Applications on Amazon ECS with Docker Compose

Many applications can take advantage of GPU acceleration, in particular resource intensive Machine Learning (ML) applications. The development time of such applications may vary based on the hardware of the machine we use for development. Containerization will facilitate development due to reproducibility, and will make the setup easily transferable to other machines. Most importantly, a containerized application is easily deployable to platforms such as Amazon ECS, where it can take advantage of different hardware configurations.
