At the end of lesson 2 Jerermy talks about AWS setup. I m using Paperspace, do we now shift to AWS? or can we continue to use Paperspace?

You can keep using Paperspace, and I bet it’ll be easier than switching to AWS. Remember the lessons were done with the class live, and they had $500 AWS credits for free so probably were mostly using it.

Hi mcintyre1994
Can you tell how to avail the $500 AWS credits? Is there any code?

Thanks
Sagar

Sadly that was only for the in person course! I’d recommend using Paperspace instead, there’s a $15 fast.ai code for that (FASTAI3BDG) and great notes here: https://github.com/reshamas/fastai_deeplearn_part1/blob/master/tools/paperspace.md
