GCP Deep Learning VM

fastai

Hi,

I’m trying to use fastai for the first time on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). I found this article https://medium.com/@howkhang/ultimate-guide-to-setting-up-a-google-cloud-machine-for-fast-ai-version-2-f374208be43 which gives a step by step guide on how to get the Deep Learning VM and using fastai. My quota for GPU was just accepted today, but now the Deep Learning VM has disappeared from the market place.

Does anyone have some tips on which VM to use (best for fastai) or some knowledge on why the Deep Learning VM disappeared?

Thanks

fastai has a guide over here.

The Deep Learning VM is still available under Marketplace>>Virtual machines>>Compute.

A K80 or P4 GPU and n1-highmem-8 is probably good enough for the fastai course.

Thanks for the guide.

So earlier today when trying to find the VM it was gone. I even tried to access it with a direct link (Deep Learning VM) and got “Permission denied”. After seeing your reply I checked it out again and it is still missing from the marketplace, but the direct link seems to work. Anyways, my problem seems to be solved now. Thanks!
