Setting Up an AWS GPU Instance

1. Navigate to the AWS EC2 dashboard. Ensure your location is "US East, N. Virginia" in the black bar at the top of the window.
2. Create a new instance on AWS by selecting "Launch Instance" from the EC2 dashboard.
3. Select "Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS (HVM), SSD Volume Type - ami-80861296" for the operating system. The AMI number (ami-80861296) can be entered manually under "Community AMIs" if Amazon has changed the default instance since this guide was created.
4. Select a p2.xlarge GPU compute instance.
5. Ensure the "Subnet" says 'use-east-1a'.
6. Add 128 GB of storage to the instance so there is room for your files.
7. Click through the remaining screens until you get to "Security Group". Ensure that only SSH (port 22) is open. Select "Review and Launch".
8. When the instance has launched, copy the setup script (setup_aws_gpu.sh) onto the instance, which will look something like this:

   scp -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa setup_aws_gpu.sh ubuntu@34.207.129.69:~

9. SSH onto the instance and run the setup script. It will take care of the entire install and will provide status updates in blue as it does so.
10. Once complete, the instance will have to be rebooted for the CUDA GPU drivers to be completely loaded:

    sudo shutdown -r now

11. SSH back onto the instance and it's ready for use. Note that the IP address may have changed.

This entire setup has been saved as ami-79d5996f, and can be loaded directly from AWS rather than running the above setup script. However, it's good to have the script as a reference for future endeavors.

This is fantastic work!
