instanceLimitExceeded for AWS

[abhimanyuaryan (abhi)]

I’m really frustrated right now. Please, someone help. I’ve put hours in configuring AWS but now a success. Someone please jump in and help me

Is it a problem on Fast.ai end or it’s a problem on AWS’s end. I request for a limit from AWS following fast.ai setup guide. I request LIMIT 1. And they sort of reached back. Asked me to add a credit card. But I’m still not sure if my limit has exceeded or not. Should I talk to AWS again?

❯ bash setup_p2.sh
True

I assume you are trying to get p2/p3 instance. The problem: those are set to 0 in EC2 limits.
You’ll need to request limit increase. Go to AWS console, make sure you are in region you want. Then go to EC2 > Limits (on the left side). Find instance type and click “Request limit increase”.
In justification mention that you are doing machine learning and need access to GPU-enabled p2 instances. Once the ticket processed, you can go ahead and provision the new box.

I think I have my limit set to 1

Thanks they increased it to 1. I tried it. It works
