What is Local LLM Setup on AWS/VPS?
We deploy open-weight LLMs on your AWS or VPS infrastructure with GPU sizing, quantization, and network exposure matched to your workload and privacy requirements. Inference runs inside your VPC or private server with TLS-terminated access, not on shared public API endpoints. We document when self-hosting is economical versus managed APIs so you do not over-provision hardware for sporadic traffic.
Ideal Use Cases
- Internal copilots processing confidential contracts or patient-adjacent summaries on private infra.
- Edge deployments where intermittent connectivity makes cloud API dependency risky.
- High-volume batch summarization of logs or tickets with stable daily load.
- Research labs experimenting with multiple open models without vendor lock-in.
- Products embedding inference where unit economics favor owned hardware at scale.
When This Service Is Not the Right Fit
- Spiky consumer chat traffic with long idle periods on expensive GPU instances.
- Teams needing frontier-model quality without budget for large multi-GPU nodes.
- Use cases with no ops capacity for OS patching, driver updates, or model CVE monitoring.
- Mobile-only products expecting sub-200ms responses from remote self-hosted small models on CPU.
Problems This Service Solves
- Compliance blocks sending customer data to external LLM vendors.
- Unpredictable per-token bills spike during internal experimentation.
- Latency to US-hosted APIs is unacceptable for local user bases.
- Teams lack expertise to configure CUDA drivers, model servers, and GPU memory limits.
- Prototype Ollama installs on laptops cannot serve concurrent production users.
Discovery and Implementation Stages
1. Workload & economics assessment
We model token throughput needs, compare GPU hourly cost against projected API spend, and flag when managed APIs remain cheaper.
2. Infrastructure provisioning
GPU instance launched in private subnet, base image hardened, NVIDIA drivers and container runtime verified.
3. Model serving setup
Weights pulled from approved registry, quantization applied to fit VRAM, server configured with concurrency and context limits.
4. Security hardening & benchmarking
Firewall rules, authentication, and load tests run. Results compared to acceptance targets before DNS or internal routing cutover.
Integration Dependencies
- Cloud account with GPU quota approved in target region
- Outbound access to model registry or pre-approved weight transfer path
- DNS or internal service discovery for client applications
- Backup storage for configuration and optional weight cache
Security and Privacy Considerations
- Instance placed in private subnet without public SSH; access via bastion or SSM
- Disk encryption at rest enabled on volume storing weights and logs
- API authentication required on inference endpoint; anonymous open ports prohibited
- Prompt and completion logging disabled by default unless audit requires it
- Regular security patch schedule documented with reboot impact notes
What's Included
Failure and Fallback Handling
- Health check failure triggers automatic process restart via systemd or orchestrator
- VRAM exhaustion returns explicit context-too-long error instead of silent crash
- Optional read-only failover to cloud API for non-sensitive traffic if configured
- Instance stop/start runbook preserves data volume while reducing idle GPU burn
Service Decision Guide
| Decision factor | This approach | Common alternative | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPU sizing accuracy | Throughput modeling from your real prompts before instance purchase | Largest GPU available without workload math | Oversized GPUs waste budget; undersized ones fail at peak concurrency. |
| Network exposure | Private subnet, TLS proxy, and authenticated inference API | Public IP on raw model port 8000 | Open model ports get scraped within hours and leak compute. |
| Quantization tuning | Quality benchmarks at multiple bit depths on your content types | Default quant preset from tutorial blog | Legal and medical summaries degrade sharply at aggressive quants without testing. |
| Operational readiness | Runbooks for patch, reboot, backup, and OOM recovery included | Install script only with no maintenance guide | Models run for weeks then fail on disk full or driver drift without ops docs. |
Factors Affecting Delivery Time
- GPU availability in chosen region and instance type
- Model size after quantization vs available VRAM
- Need for multi-node scaling vs single-instance scope
- Customer change-management windows for production cutover
- Whether weights must air-gap transfer without internet on instance
Post-Launch Support Scope
- First-month health check reviews and driver update advisories
- Guidance when migrating to larger models or additional quant levels
- Incident support for OOM or CUDA errors during traffic growth
- Optional managed ops retainer for patching and uptime monitoring
