Accio is a cli tool for managing AWS infrastructure.

AWS p2 and p3 instances can be quite expensive for an independent ML developer. Creating new resources, dyanimically changing ec2 instance types, starting/stopping instances, etc can be time consuming and error prone. Accio allows you to do all this in a few simple commands from your terminal.

Accio: A charm that allows the caster to summon an object.

Modify accio/templates/mystack to change attributes of the stack

Defaults:

• ami: ami-66506c1c ami reference
  • ubuntu 16 LTS
  • nvidia docker (9.1)
• EBS backed ec2 instance
• EBS Volume has 100GB (gp2)
• VPC + subnet
• Internet Gateway
• elasticIP
• Security Group
  • tcp 22 (ssh)
  • tcp 8888

Accio is under rapid development and has not yet been published to PyPA.

Clone the Accio github repo:

$ git clone git@github.com:stephenjjones/accio.git
$ cd accio

Highly recommended to use pipenv to manage python environment and dependencies:

$ pipenv install

All CLI commands listed assume you have the accio alias set, and that you run them from the accio root directory:

$ alias accio="pipenv run python accio/cli.py"
# OR
$ source alias.sh

Alternatively, you can pip install to get the accio cli available outside the project root:

$ pip install .

** All commands must be run from

I want to create a new stack named mystack with the default template:

$ accio create-stack mystack

I want to ssh into my new ec2 instance:

$ accio ssh

I want to change my ec2 instance type to p3:

$ accio update-stack

I want to stop a running instance:

$ accio stop

I want to start a stopped instance:

$ accio start

I want to delete my stack named `mystack`:

$ accio delete-stack mystack

Uploads a local ssh key from ~/.ssh/[keyname] to the ec2 instance. TODO: make .pem and id_rsa keyname dynamic, currently hardcoded:

$ accio upload-keys

Check cuda version::

$ nvcc --version
