Train a Pokemon Classifier Using an AWS Deep Learning AMI

If you want to be the very best that no one ever was, you should read this tutorial on how to use an AWS Deep Learning AMI to train a Neural Network classifier in Python. The goal of this classifier is to give an image of a Gen 1 Pokemon, to identify it. That was a lot of acronyms and funny words, before we get started on the tutorial, let's cover some background information. AMI stands for Amazon Machine Image and is a template that is used to launch a virtual server (which in AWS is also known as an EC2 instance that you can read more about below). Since it is a template, you can use one AMI to launch multiple EC2 instances with the same configurations.
