Hello,
We are trying to set up aws in a way that 2 users can access at the same time. We run into various problems such as InstanceLimitExceeded. Can you please say if there is a set of instructions to set it up correctly? Or this is not an expected use case?
Thank you,
Kolobok
Hi Zarak,
I am getting the following error. I have deleted the user and again created.
[access key, secret key,us-west-2 and text]
Still the error.
Please help.

Hi Nichol
. I installed Anaconda python and then Cygwin. When I type aws , Im getting below error. I tried few things , also uninstalled python and reinstalled again, but getting same error as below. plz help
C:\cygwin64\Continuum\Anaconda2\python.exe: can’t open file ‘/Continuum/Anaconda2/Scripts/aws’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
checked the directory but can see a file ‘aws’. Below is what I can see in it

Try uninstalling your Anaconda distribution and any independent Python installations you may have, and reinstall Cygwin to proceed.
I faced the same issues and deleting Anaconda helped. 
Alternatively, you can try the steps in here: http://wiki.fast.ai/index.php/Awscli_in_cygwin
Trfied uninstalling but got the same issue…then based on the link
tried pip uninstall awscli…and its getting stuck at a point and not moving ahead…
clueless as to wt needs to be done
It seems I am hitting literally every error possible. I contacted AWS, they were unsure about the issue, so I switched to us-east-1. From there, I hit the error `An error occurred (InvalidKeyPair.NotFound) when calling the RunInstances operation: The key pair ‘aws-key-fast-ai’ does not exist
An error occurred (MissingParameter) when calling the CreateTags operation: The request must contain the parameter resourceIdSet

I tried running rm ~./ssh/aws-key.pem but got the error rm: cannot remove '~./ssh/aws-key.pem': No such file or directory
To solve this, I tried running mkdir .ssh as instructed in a previous post, but received the message mkdir: cannot create directory ‘.ssh’: File exists.
Hi @Dan195,
The file should be named aws-key-fast-ai.pem. Are there any files in your .ssh directory?
I am getting no more error messages, but when I try to use the ssh (etc.) to log in, I get the following…
ssh -i /home/Peter/.ssh/aws-key-fast-ai.pem ubuntu@ec2 -52-54-27-149.compute-1.ama zonaws.com

Hi chenwk891
how did you resolve the issue, im getting the same. Im in India
Checked spot pricing for p2.xlarge its saying
Cluster GPU Instances are not available in all regions
although my AWS console says us west
https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/console/home?region=us-west-2#
There shouldn’t be a space between ec2 and -52-54-27-149.
The reply I got is that the p2 free license is only available in USA. So I gave up …
Hi everyone!
Yesterday I made a request for a P2 instance but I didn’t realize, and I checked Us-west (Oregon) as told in the video. I’m from the EU zone, So, it’s supposed to go faster and obtain better latency if the server is located in Ireland. isn’t it?
what are the next steps in order to change to Eu-Ireland. Should I made another request to AWS explaining it or there is some other tricky-easy way to do that?
Thanks!
Hi @Nasrudin,
I think you’ll have to put in another request to AWS. I just put a request in for Ireland too.
edit: Or rather, update your ticket if you don’t want the original instance anymore
I recently had to reinstall my OS. I have a P2 instance that I was using, but now need to reconnect my laptop to it. Am I okay to run the setup_p2.sh script again, or will this create a new server for me?
