Once your tenant is granted access to the GPUs, creating a new VM with access to a virtual GPU is very straightforward. Follow the process on Provision a new instance - web paying special attention on the Configuration Step:

CentOS

  1. On the Library screen, choose CentOS. Ubuntu is currently not supported
  2. On Layout, select the item with "-gpu" suffix (e.g.: "centos-7.9-gpu" )
  3. On Plan, pick one of the plans with the "gpu" suffix, depending on how much resources are needed, including the amount of GPU memory:
    1. 8cpu-4gbmem-20gbdisk-4gbgpu
    2. 8cpu-8gbmem-20gbdisk-4gbgpu
    3. 8cpu-32gbmem-40gbdisk-8gbgpu
    4. 16cpu-32gbmem-80gbdisk-16gbgpu
    Finish the process normally


Ubuntu

  1. On the Library screen, choose Ubuntu.
  2. On the Configuration Options select Version 20.04
  3. On Layout, select the item with "-gpu" suffix (i.e.: "ubuntu-20.04-gpu" )
  4. On Plan, for the Ubuntu instance select the following plan :  16cpu-32gbmem-80gbdisk-16gbgpu  ( * )

Image Added

( * ) Note:  the "16cpu-32gbmem-80gbdisk-16gbgpu" plan has limited availability in the current EWC infrastructure. Please contact EWC team via Support Portal if you encounter any problem during the deployment as it might be caused by the temporary lack of availability.


Info

Once your instance is running, you can check wether your instance can see the GPU with:
