I am running a g2.2xlarge AWS EC2 instance on Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS (HVM), SSD Volume Type. The specs on this system are as follows (source):

The g2.2xlarge version comes with 15 GiB memory, 60 GB of local storage, 26 EC2 Compute Units (that’s an Intel Sandy Bridge processor running at 2.6 GHz) and a single NVIDIA Kepler GK104 graphics card (with 1536 CUDA cores).

Is it possible to add more GPU resources to this system on demand--either more CUDA cores or additional graphics cards?

It looks like the elastic GPU option isn't available for the G2 class of servers. In fact, none of the GPU instance-types are on the list at all, so this seems to be to add GPU to something that otherwise wouldn't have it. That's the only add-on GPU available I know of, so I suspect the answer here is 'No, not really'.
