This section provide links that will assist you to quickly start with a fresh installation of Install MXNet Neuron.

Launch the Instance

  • Please follow the instructions at launch an Amazon EC2 Instance to launch an instance. When choosing the instance type at the EC2 console. please make sure to select the correct instance type.

  • To get more information about instance sizes and pricing see: Inf1 web page

  • Check for the latest version of the DLAMI Base AMI and copy the AMI name that starts with “Deep Learning Base Neuron AMI (Amazon Linux 2) <latest_date>” from “AMI Name:” section

  • Search for the copied AMI name in the AMI Search , you should see a matching AMI with the AMI name in Community AMIs. Select the AMI and use it to launch the instance.

  • After launching the instance, follow the instructions in Connect to your instance to connect to the instance
