• Failed to connect to the host via SSH on Ubuntu 22.04

  If you have just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, and you suddenly experience either errors when trying to ssh into hosts, or when running ansible or again when running the ansible provisioner building a packer image, this is probably going to be useful for you. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Create a minimalist OS using Docker Containers and Hashicorp Packer

  I am already using Hashicorp Packer at work and for personal projects and I wanted to test This idea out by wrapping it a single Packer Template file. This reduces the level of maintaining a lot of small scripts, Dockerfiles and configurations and the user can simply trigger a couple of Commands to get a minimalist OS at the end of the process. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel. The oligopoly has won.

  And while it is a slight increase in complexity, it can be an overall net gain in functionality, configurability and reliability. Much like Packer is far more reliable and practical than manually making VM images sitting in front of a terminal, even though making the initial configuration takes some time.

• Customized Ubuntu Images using Packer + QEMU + Cloud-Init & UEFI bootloading

  Hashicorp Packer provides a nice wrapper / abstraction over the QEMU in order to boot the image and use it to set it up on first-boot. Instead of writing really long commands in order to boot up the image using QEMU, Packer provided a nice Configuration Template in a more Readable fashion. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• The journey of sharing a wired USB printer over the network

  Packer seemed like the perfect tool for the job. I have never used it before and wanted to get familiar with the tool. It doesn't come with ARM support out of the box, but there are two community projects to fill that niche. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• Machine Learning Best Practices for Public Sector Organizations

  AWS Deep Learning AMIs can be used to accelerate deep learning by quickly launching Amazon EC2 instances. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Unable to host a Flask App consisting of an Image Classification Model coded in Pytorch to a free tier EC2 instance. The issue occurs at requirements installation i.e The torch v1.8.1 installation gets stuck at 94%.

  Ok a bit more on topic of your question. Set up a docker locally on your computer, pick a relevant image with all the python stuff and then do pip install -r requirements -t ./dependencies zip it up, upload to S3 and then get it from there and use on the EC2 instance. Or look into using Deep Learning AMIs they should have pytorch installed: https://aws.amazon.com/machine-learning/amis/. Source: about 3 years ago

• Is Sagemaker supposed to replace Keras or PyTorch? Or Tensorflow?

  Literally nothing stops you from running EC2 instance with GPU and configuring it yourself. There are even AMIs specialized for ML workloads with everything preconfigured and ready to use - https://aws.amazon.com/machine-learning/amis/. Source: about 3 years ago
