This is a simple script I created to manage a Machine Learning EC2 instance I use for Deep Learning projects. It could be useful:
https://github.com/edmar/cloud-lab
Setup
1. Edit the file cloud-lab.sh and change:
ec2_id=“your-instance-id”
key_pem=“path-to-your-instance-key-pem”
2. Make script executable
$ chmod +x cloud-lab/cloud-labh.sh
Optional: Add script to path
Modify your path to add the directory where your script is located:
export PATH=$PATH:/appropriate/directory
(typically, you want $HOME/bin for storing your own scripts)
Optional: Create alias to script
Add to your .bashrc or .zhsrc
alias cloud-lab=“lab.sh”
Usage
Starts instance and log into it when it’s ready
$ lab start
Create a ssh tunnel on that port
$ lab tunnel 8888
Stop instance
$ lab stop
Show instance status
$ lab status
SSH into instance
$ lab login
Download file from instance
$ lab download /machine-file-path /path-where-to-save-file
Upload file to instance
$ lab upload /local-file-path /machine-path-to-save-file
Change instance type
The machine needs to be stopped before changing instance type
$ lab update instance_type_name
