Amir did you try zone us-west2-c or us-west2-b ? url https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/gpus/ helps to choose zone based on GPU

I have not. I am using us-west1-b with a 1 x NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPU. It was fine till this morning. If I make a new instance, or change the zone, do I lose the notebooks and files that I already have added?! @srivenug

us-central1-c is the next best zone for GPUs.

Ed, please do not give up, try and try again (over several days if need be). This deep learning takes a lot of trial and error to get up and running. Some folks are just luckier than others in getting it set up effortlessly.
I spent the better part of a week blundering through it but at least succeeded this year. I will keep looking for you on this message board if you continue to have problems.

anyone know how to delete configurations and cloud projects that were made in error?
On your VM instances page click on the 3 dot button in the rightmost side and you will see options for delete, stop, etc.
I tried with the updated instructions today the second time but wasn’t successful
Thanks again for this help! I filled in your form, and then received another form from google to apply for the credits, which I filled in. It said something about getting a response in 1-2 days, but that was 5 days ago. Do you think something went wrong and I should try again, or can these things just take a while?
Same thing with me. I could not start my VM in the last two days. Is there a way to change zone without loosing what I did so far?

Did you get any code for 500$ credit?
Well not yet, but hopefully soon.
I’m getting ImportError: cannot import name ‘Filelink’
Hey Mauro. Try
from IPython.display import FileLink
It’s capital F and L in FileLink.

Anyone here using GCP behind institute proxy?
Actually I can’t ssh GCP from my local machine because my institute network doesn’t listen on port 22 (default for process in GCP) so is there any way I can setup another port in GCP to listen from my local machine?
I also tried this but didn’ work !!

Looks like Google Cloud can not handle all the instances created on zone us-west1-b !
I have been getting an error in the past 2 days and I can’t start my instance !
Error : “The zone ‘projects/operating-land-216419/zones/us-west1-b’ does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later.”
Today I tried to start my machine like 20 times , all day long…
Also, I did a work that I’d like to publish , but I have no access to my notebook.
Very frustrating!
This link describes how to move the instance to a different zone. In my case, it raised the error that my instance is terminated and should be deleted (No idea why!). So I deleted it and set up a new instance in us-central1-c.
To list all instances and their status you can use this in command-line:
gcloud compute instances list

That doesn’t seem to be the right link? I found this however: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/moving-instance-across-zones . Here’s the command it shows:
gcloud compute instances move example-instance \
--zone us-central1-a --destination-zone us-central1-f

Sorry, my bad! I fixed it. Thanks.
Hey what do you replace $ZONE with? and I presume you type your instance name instead of $INSTACCE_NAME? Because if your ZONE is not similar to your default ones, it’s not connecting or atleast that was the case for me. Now it connects when ever I use the same default zone.
