Setting Up Google Cloud

Installing GCloud

Install Google Cloud's CLI, gcloud, on your machine: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/downloads Just grab a version and wget it. Then run instructions on the website to install.

Install gsutil: pip install gsutil. Authenticate: gsutil config.

Setting up VM

  1. On Google Cloud, go to "Compute Engine", then "VM Instances". Click on "Create Instance".
  2. Select us-east1-c or us-east1-d region (have GPUs),
  3. For Machine Type, click customize and set number of GPUs and CPUs,
  4. For Disk Type, choose Ubuntu 16.04 with e.g. 40 GB SSD drive,
  5. Create the instance and wait for it to boot up,
  6. Setup the correct firewall rules on your own machine: gcloud compute firewall-rules create default-allow-ssh --allow tcp:22,
  7. SSH into the machine with your browser (easiest) or connect from your machine with gcloud compute ssh --zone <zone> <instance>.

To set up port forwarding between your local machine and the VM, use these flags for the gcloud compute ssh flags:

--ssh-flag='-L' --ssh-flag='8000:127.0.0.1:6006'
