Getting ready

We are going to launch a GPU-enabled AWS EC2 instance and prepare it for the installed TensorFlow with the GPU and Keras. Launch the following AMI: Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS (HVM), SSD Volume Type - ami-aa2ea6d0:

This is an AMI with Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit pre-installed, and it has the SSD volume type.

Choose the appropriate instance type: g3.4xlarge:

Once the VM is launched, assign the appropriate key that you will use to SSH into it. In our case, we used a pre-existing key:

SSH into the instance:

ssh -i aws/rd_app.pem ubuntu@34.201.110.131
