Setup Instance

From console:

• CentOS 7 Official AMI with HVM
• Use public-ssh security group
• Use existing key
• Encrypt all disks
• 10g root partion

Once booted, get public and private IPs:

• Add IPs to named
• ssh centos@<public-ip>
• sudo su -
• cat > /root/.ssh/authorized_keys -- add key
• Do not logout yet, verify first
• ssh root@<public-ip>
• userdel -r centos
• Logout of original session
• yum install -y lvm2
• fdisk -l -- determine local volume
• pvcreate <disk>
• vgcreate centos <disk>

Proceed with post installation instructions.

GPU Driver install

# need kernel source which is always the latest so do update first
yum update -y
yum install -y kernel-devel
# if new kernel, then
reboot
yum remove $(rpm -qa | grep ^kernel-3 | grep -v $(uname -r))
curl -O https://s3.amazonaws.com/nvidia-gaming/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-435.22-grid.run
# this is a curses program so don't run in emacs; doesn't respectmyterm.com!
sh NVIDIA*run
echo vGamingMarketplace=2 > /etc/nvidia/gridd.conf
curl -o /etc/nvidia/GridSwCert.txt https://s3.amazonaws.com/nvidia-gaming/GridSwCert-Linux.cert

Verify ssh key fingerprint

You have to convert the ssh private key to PEM format then DER format, and finally compute md5:

ssh-keygen -e -m PEM -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa | openssl rsa -RSAPublicKey_in -outform DER | openssl md5 -c
