What they never explain is that when you try to do a GPU instance they are nog going to assign any, because you have to go trough a process where amazon approve the gpu for you and then you can launch the instance and if you need multiple lets say 3 VMs with GPUs to configure a cluster is even worst, same thing with google, I had to go trough a lot of calls and interviews so they can give me access to GPUs (Eventhough I had to pay for it) so its not that easy to launch GPUs on AWS or Google. There is other companies now offering the gpus instances very easy and you pay as you go without checks or interviews.
100%. Just went through a process with AWS to get a V100...Took from Friday to Monday. Made a request for 8 vCPUs and had to get an approval bc I was on free tier.
super useful, thanks!

Can you recommend some of these companies?
Thx
I also would appreciate if you recommended some of those companies, I encountered the same problems as you described

why doesn't that option exist on my EC2 instance? all I see is All Instance type and not GPU instance on the drop-down menu
1xlarge means how much mib capacity it has?
I need to upload my file which consists of 4 gb in p2 instance how can I upload it
