申请与创建Amazon实例

申请Amazon实例并创建的过程其实相对简单，参考Amazon完备的文档即可：

创建示例：http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/EC2_GetStarted.html

我这里最终选择了Amazon的Linux免费实例

## AWS的EC2配置

## AWS的环境配置

[一文搞定所有配置--Jupyter, Plotly, Pandas, SciPy, NumPy and SciKit-Learn on AWS EC2](http://neuralfoundry.com/jupyter-plotly-pandas-scipy-numpy-and-scikit-learn-on-aws-ec2/)

## 如何让任务挂在AWS上持续运行

[Info: 需要用到Screen命令](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26245942/how-do-i-leave-node-js-server-on-ec2-running-forever)

[如何在AWS上使用Screen命令: To update all packages on an Amazon Linux instance](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/install-updates.html) ，这篇只看中间的一部分就行了。

常用的Screen命令包括：

Screen -ls

screen -r 17793

[ec2-user ~]$ exit

[screen is terminating]

## Trouble Shooting

[pip broken, reinstall doesn't work. EC2](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34734436/pip-broken-reinstall-doesnt-work-ec2)

上文针对的报错信息为：

```pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'pip==6.1.1' distribution was not found and is required by the application

[ec2-user@ip-172-31-17-194 ~]$ which pip

/usr/local/bin/pip

```

最后，我使用了bitfusion的AMI镜像，因为它基本上预装了所有可能会用到的工具，非常强大，check out教学视频：

To check 一切GPU驱动安装完好：
