How to get Techlatest Stable Diffusion with AUTOMATIC1111 Web Interface on AWS




This section describes how to launch and connect to Techlatest Stable Diffusion with AUTOMATIC1111 Web Interface on Amazon Web Services (AWS).


    Note: Stable diffusion requires a lot of processing, so a GPU instance is recommended. If you want to use a CPU instance due to the high price of GPU instances, you should use instances with a higher CPU.
    GPU's are not available in some zones and for some instance types.

    Below are recommended VM configuration requirements:

    • GPU VM : g4dn.xlarge (4 vcpu 16gb memory) configuration
    • CPU VM : t2.xlarge (4vcpu, 16gb ram)
    • For CPU, its the minimum spec but more cpu is preferred.

    Note: GPU instance will perform 10 times or more faster when processing request compared to CPU instance . Typical GPU instance will take 1-2 minutes to render images compared to 10-20 minutes by CPU instance, hence GPU instances are preferred.

    1. Open Techlatest Stable Diffusion with AUTOMATIC1111 Web Interface VM listing on AWS marketplace
