Warning message creating Google Cloud Compute Instance - Sept 2019

Hello, Here is the statement I used to create a Google Cloud Instance:

gcloud compute instances create "fastai" --zone="us-west2-b" --image-family="pytorch-latest-gpu" --image-project=deeplearning-platform-release --maintenance-policy=TERMINATE --accelerator="type=nvidia-tesla-p4,count=1" --machine-type="n1-highmem-8" --boot-disk-size=200GB --metadata="install-nvidia-driver=True" --preemptible

I got the following warning message, which I don’t think I should ignore.
Created [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/myproject/zones/us-west2-b/instances/fastai].

WARNING: Some requests generated warnings:

The reason I think this should not be ignored is because when I try to run the lesson 1 notebook 2 times in a row, I run out of memory.

Has anyone run into this issue too? What can I do to not run out of memory. This also happened to me on my AWS instance. I think I am missing something really obvious. Thank you for your help.

Is this happening to me because I tried to download the data again? Thanks.

The warning is about the disk, not RAM or GPU memory. I had too but I did not bother about it.
Regarding out of memory, try reducing batch size a little.
