When I using this method I encountered that error so you should have to follow this guidance.thevideo/pair
Sorry I’m just now getting back - I just contacted AWS and they got everything set up for me - something on the backend
Can anyone help me, please. I am new here and tried to read here and solve but I failed. Thank you for your time:
Could someone help me, please?
Hello, I am from near London, so was looking for the “setup_p2_ireland.sh” on the GitHub repo, but unfortunately cannot find it anywhere. Has it been removed?
The ~/.ssh/aws-fast-ai.pem file is empty, and I am unable to find or don’t know where to look in the aws console for the key either. I have been Googling around, and getting this page on the top most of the time.
Hello, I am also getting the same error. Have you found a fix to this? Can anyone help? 
P.S. I’ve also requested AWS to increase service limit to allow me to use P2, and they’ve already approved my request.
You can access the keys on the EC2 dashboard.
You are using Linux, right? And are checking for the .ssh folder locally on your computer and not on the remote machine?
I am sorry I cannot be of more help but I use a different setup and have some AMIs / volumes configured and thus don’t want to tear down my env which I would need to do to troubleshoot this. Maybe someone following the canonical way of doing this for the course could chime in.
I follow this setup as described here but only look to it as the last resolve - hopefully someone who uses the default scripts will be able to help you troubleshoot further.
Hi all, does anyone use crestle https://www.crestle.com/faq ? I’m interested how it works in compare to AWS and are there any issues with docker? Thanks u very much!
I guess the AWS agreement is still on, I got this limit increase not so long ago, but there are some other alternatives to get a running GPU machine in a fast way, check https://www.floydhub.com/ or https://www.paperspace.com/
I’m going to use crestle.com, there is a docker repo designed to courset(thanks to mr. Anurag Goel): https://hub.docker.com/r/deeprig/fastai-course-1/
To save some money, I’ve always used aws spot instances. Here in the eastern US, specifically in zone 1c, prices rarely go above $0.25/hr. The downside is I sometimes get kicked off if prices rise. That hasn’t happened yet with a p2 instance (~20 hrs usage).
Below is the command I run:
aws ec2 request-spot-instances --spot-price 0.30 --instance-count 1 --type “one-time” --launch-specification file://./p2.json
json (sorry couldn’t upload):
{
“ImageId”: “ami-31ecfb26”,
“KeyName”: “xxxxxxxxxx”,
“InstanceType”: “p2.xlarge”,
“NetworkInterfaces”: [
{ “DeviceIndex”: 0, “SubnetId”: “subnet-xxxxxxx”, “Groups”: [ “sg-xxxxxxxxx” ],
“AssociatePublicIpAddress”: true
}
],
“BlockDeviceMappings”: [
{
“DeviceName”: “/dev/sda1”,
“Ebs”: {
“Encrypted”: false,
“DeleteOnTermination”: true,
“VolumeSize”: 128,
“VolumeType”: “gp2”
}
}
],
“Placement”: { “AvailabilityZone”: “us-east-1c” }
}
I also hacked install_gpu. I ran into an issue I think because cuda 9.0 is the current version as of a couple of days ago. So I eliminated ‘sudo apt-get upgrade’ as well as the cuda driver and anaconda installs, since those two items are already installed on the ami.
For now, I keep the server in an ‘old’ state so I can concentrate on the deep learning.
Hi, I have started this course today and am very excited. Following exactly what was told in the video walkthrough, I am getting the following error while trying to setup a t2 server. My user credentials are correct and I’ve tried with two users. My default location is set to us-west-2 (I’m in India but I’m ok with the extra latency). Can someone help me proceed forward?

All done. Find all you need to connect in the fast-ai-commands.txt file and to remove the stack call fast-ai-remove.sh
Connect to your instance: ssh -i /Users/sandeep.reddy/.ssh/aws-key-fast-ai.pem ubuntu@
Thanks in advance.

I was able to resolve this issue by correcting the time set on my computer (which was off by 8min). Hope this helps someone.
For eu-west-1 (Ireland), in line 16 in the setup_t2.sh file, change to ami-9e1a35ed (from ami-f8fd5998 for us-west-2). That worked for me.
Best, Jasper

Hi Jeremy/Rachel,
I am trying to do the setup for t2 instance but i am facing issue, while connecting to ssh command. I am getting resource temporarily unavailable message. Sorry, i was not able to find any relevant post regarding this.
root@01HW1102594:~# ssh -i /root/.ssh/aws-key.pem ubuntu@ec2-52-11-56-142.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
ssh: connect to host ec2-52-11-56-142.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com port 22: Resource temporarily unavailable
Thanks!!

Hello,
I’m unable to connect to the p2 instance through ssh. I’ve made sure the instance is running, went through the forum for possible solutions, tried terminating and starting properly a couple of times (released all resources as mentioned n wiki). there are a few posts on top where @rachel has advised on similar issues, but I’m not getting any errors here, simply connection timing out! I’m using the scripts from git (https://github.com/fastai/courses/tree/master/setup) . Any help is greatly appreciated. TIA.
Edit : tried the below using aws-alias.sh. tried with a t2 xlarge instance as restarts are cheaper.
