setup Instance in Lambda Labs Cloud “for beginner”

What is Lambda Cloud :

Lambda GPU Cloud. for Deep Learning. Train the most demanding AI, ML, and Deep Learning models. Scale from a single machine to an entire fleet of VMs with a few clicks. here the link to start

• Lambda Cloud provide multi-GPU instances with affordable prices.
• each instance support NVIDIA- GPU Cuda, Pytorch, Tensorflow and many other features, but these are the most important for me.

Let’s Start:

• After creating an account

1- create the ssh key :

• you can add or create one, we will create a new one:

create an save the file

• Note: some times the file extension saved as “newssh.cer” we have to rename it to “newssh.pem”

2- launch instance 🚀:

• one of the most affordable instance

2- connect the instance via ssh :

cd Downloads/

cat newssh.pem

mv ~/Downloads/newssh.pem ~/.ssh

cd ~/.ssh

chmod 600 ~/.ssh/newssh.pem

ssh -i ~/.ssh/newssh.pem ubuntu@00.00.00.00

the ssh key name and the user address are according to what you have and created.

3- check the installations :

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

4- check the GPUs:

nvidia-smi

Finally ,

Lambda Cloud is easy to use and affordable, but controlling the instance is limited for example we can’t stop the instance for a while to save the consuming and reduce the bill. the only option is to terminate the instance forever and that will erase any data on the instance.
