Possible to experiment with AWS Deep Learning Containers on nonAWS machine?

Hi ivar vasara,

You should be able to do pull the image to your local machine. AWS Deep Learning Container images are public and hosted on Amazon ECR - https://aws.amazon.com/ecr/faqs/. In order to securely access the repository, proper authentication from the Docker client to the repository is important. This can be done with a docker login command to authenticate to an ECR registry that provides an authorization token valid for 12 hours. If you’re using the AWS CLI, you can use a get-login command which retrieves the token, decodes it, and converts into a docker login command for you. You will need an AWS account and export/configue the credentials of an IAM user with Amazon ECR access to do this.

See here for an example on how to login to the Amazon ECR repository where AWS Deep Learning Containers images are hosted: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dlami/latest/devguide/deep-learning-containers-ec2-setup-prerequisites.html
