How to Deploy an L4 GPU Virtual Machine on CloudPe

This document provides step-by-step instructions to create an L4 GPU Virtual Machine (VM) on CloudPe and explains how to access the VM using SSH (Linux) and RDP.

Steps to Create an L4 GPU VM

Step 1: Login

1. Log in to your CloudPe Dashboard.

Step 2: Navigate to Virtual Machines

2. After login, go to Infrastructure → Virtual Machines.

Step 3: Create VM

3. Click on the Create VM option.

Step 4: Select Project

4. Select the project in which you want to create the GPU VM.

Step 5: Select Region

5. Choose the region IN-WEST2 .
   
   NOTE: L4 GPUs are available in IN-WEST2 region only.

Step 6: Select Image (Operating System)

6. Under the Image option, select the operating system you want to configure.

• Note: Ubuntu images are already preconfigured with NVIDIA drivers.
  for other images you need to install drivers manually.

Step 7: Select Flavor (Configuration)

7. Select the appropriate GPU flavor based on your requirements (vCPU, RAM, GPU – L4).

Step 8: Select Storage Volume

8. Choose the volume size and type as per your workload requirements.

Step 9: Configure Network Interfaces

9. Under Network Interfaces, select the network that provides Public IP access.

Step 10: Set VM Name

10. Provide a name for the virtual machine using the Name field.

Step 11: Advanced Settings

11. In Advanced Settings, configure:

• Root password (for Linux/Windows login)
• SSH Key (recommended for secure Linux access)

Step 12: Create VM

12. Click on the Create button to initiate VM creation.

Step 13: VM Ready

13. Within a few minutes, the L4 GPU VM will be provisioned and ready for use.

How to Access GPU VMs

A. SSH Access (Linux GPU VM )

Steps to Access via SSH

1. Open a terminal on your local machine.
2. Use the following command:
   
   ssh root@<PUBLIC_IP>
   
   Or, if using an SSH key:
   
   ssh-i <key-file.pem> root@<PUBLIC_IP>
   
3. Once authenticated, you will be logged into the GPU VM.

B. RDP Access (Windows / GUI-based GPU VM)

Steps to Access via RDP

1. Open Remote Desktop Connection on your local system.
2. Enter the Public IP address of the GPU VM.
3. Click Connect.
4. Enter the username and password configured for the VM.
