I am getting error that kernel is died in the line : learn = create_cnn(data, models.resnet34, metrics=error_rate) in the Lesson 1 notebook.
I have tried to change batch size and number of images. Tried to upgrade to the bigger instance (from p2.xlarge to g3.4xlarge in AWS EC2). Found a workaround regarding memory leak in dataloader, but seems it is for older version of fastai, while I am using fastai v1.0.
So nothing above helped 
Has anybody experience the same?

Seem to get into the same problem. Instantiated an p2.xlarge aws, instance installed fastai v1.0 and tried it first with another notebook and afterwards used the lesson1-pet notebook as a kind of reference => still the same problem kernel died when using create_cnn. Did you find what the underlying issue was or a fix / workaround? Thanks, Remco
Hello, I migrated to Amazon SageMaker services and it worked. I don’t have access to the link you provided, how did you solved the problem at the end?=)

Sorry for the link access issue (I did not think about that). The problem is not solved as far as I know. The fall back I ended up using as described here: https://github.com/krishnakalyan3/course-v3/blob/aed64af19b34bcf0ddf1263bfd7d0e1744aac884/docs/start_aws.md
It uses Ubuntu 18 instead of ubuntu deep learning ami as a base. So some extra install effort needed.
I also needed some extra disk space (now set on 30Gb instead of default which it was 8Gb).
