Limitations / Considerations
Through the pilot phase there will be aspects of the system that may be partially available or come with limitations/considerations.
GPU Backed Machines
Ronin provides access to a handful of GPU backed AWS instances, given there are so many options we've decided to keep to providing one pre-configured package.
The "Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - NVIDIA Drivers" package comes with drivers and software pre-configured to work with Ronin's remote desktop solution Nice DCV, allowing you to skip the somewhat tedious configuration steps.
Note
If you choose to use the standard Ubuntu package with a GPU backed machine and install the desktop environment via Ronin Link you may find that the remote session is not making use of the GPU.
Take a look at the Nice DCV docs for further info.
Changing Instance Type After Creation
In the event you make use of the "Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - NVIDIA Drivers" package at initial startup the machine will configure itself with the available GPU/s.
It may be the case that your workload changes overtime making it necessary to increase or decrease the instance size, adding or removing GPUs.
So that the DCV config can pick up on these changes you should run the commands below following an instance type change:
