I need a quick GCP instance with GPUs, and tensorflow 1.15-gpu preinstalled and ubuntu as the operating system. I tried creating a Deep Learning VM instance from the marketplace. I can get GPUs and tensorflow 1.15-gpu preinstalled but I am getting Debian as my operating system by default. They do not provide an option to choose an operating system when I deploy the instance. Is there a way to create such an instance with above requirements? (Solution without using Deep Learning VM solutions is also fine)

Update

I tried this earlier to manually install TensorFlow, CUDA and cudnn.

  • This link may be of some help, it describes how to create a VM for Deep Learning using Ubuntu 16.04. With a little modification you should be able to adapt it for your needs : https://medium.com/giscle/setting-up-a-google-cloud-instance-for-deep-learning-d182256cb894 – Derek Fender May 14 '20 at 16:03
  • You can install TensorFlow from NVIDIA from GCP marketplace.It will install TensoFlow on an Ubuntu 18.04 machine. Please review tensorflow documentation [1] which outlines how to Install TensorFlow with pip. [1] https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip – Derek Fender May 14 '20 at 18:03
  • Is your issue resolved now? Else, Please check [this](https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/details/nvidia-ngc-public/nvidia_gpu_cloud_image) GCP marketplace (Or) as an alternative user can create custom VM instance in GCP. Create instance page -> Select "Change" Boot Disk and Choose operating system as Ubuntu from the dropdown list. –  May 27 '20 at 06:32
  • @DerekFender Thank you. I tried that but seems(tried) like we cannot directly download cudnn from the nvidia website (check this https://stackoverflow.com/a/60850728/7876086) If there's a way please do lmk. – Gayal Kuruppu May 27 '20 at 09:57
  • @TensorflowWarriors Your solution does not let me create less than 8cpus. and less than 30GB RAM. Secondly for custom vms we don't get tf preinstalled. – Gayal Kuruppu May 27 '20 at 10:11
  • Yes, TF need to be install in Custom VM's. –  May 28 '20 at 07:56
