Logged in Google Cloud Platform and linked to my credit card account but my credit shows $0 but http://course-v3.fast.ai/start_gcp.html link shows it will show credit of $300 in GCP. Did anyone faced similar issue ?
Did you look at the top of your console and see a small “present” icon (looks like a birthday present with a bow). If you do see it you are on the free $300 credit plan.
I have been getting this error in the past 5 hours and I can’t start my instance (It was working fine before). Should I make a new instance in a different zone or just wait?!
The error says:
“Starting VM instance “my-fastai-instance” failed. Error: The zone ‘projects/green-diagram-220302/zones/us-west1-b’ does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later.”
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
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.
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?
