AWS GPU install script and public AMI

@radek

Thanks for posting these instructions. I’m looking forward to getting this set up.

In the first step to spin up the p2.xlarge instance, should I be using “setup_p2.sh” in courses/setup? I was getting an error like this:

(aws) kmatsuda12ctower:setup kmatsuda$ ssh -i /Users/kmatsuda/.ssh/aws-key-fast-ai.pem ubuntu@ec2-52-32-247-202.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
Enter passphrase for key ‘/Users/kmatsuda/.ssh/aws-key-fast-ai.pem’:

Looking in the forums, I found this thread in which somebody ran into the same issue. Jeremy’s response in that thread was:
“Somehow you’ve ended up with a password protected key. Might be easiest to start over.”

I ran “fast-ai-remove.sh” and started over, but am still getting the same error. Should I still be following the instructions in the AWS setup video to get the p2 instance going?

Is anyone else running into this? I can wait for the new AMI, but I would like to understand what the problem is and how to resolve it (if anyone knows).

Thanks
