Learning Machine Learning on the cheap: Persistent AWS Spot Instances – Slav

Let's learn how to create a spot instance where we will be able to develop and run ML models. We want to use P2 instances. They come with one or more powerful NVIDIA K80 GPUs with lots of memory (11 GB) to test and train your models on. Before we can start any P2 instances, we need to setup a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Which is just a fancy virtual network to launch your virtual machine in. Setting up a VPC can be a little intimidating.
