Just started from scratch on a p2.xlarge instance and saved down
ami-2db72f4d, feel free to try it out. I couldn't find any p2 in N. California region so it's attached to Oregon.
If you want to DIY, I would suggest:
(the main advantage over starting from scratch is avoiding CuDDN installation which is slightly hairy)
2. Install general updates. sudo apt-get update
3. You probably want to install the latest version of cuda
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local_8.0.44-1_amd64-deb
4. Install conda and magenta by following the instructions in the magenta readme
5. After installing magenta and activating the environment, replace the non-gpu tensorflow with a gpu-supported version:
6. Do a reboot for good measure and you should be up and running.
--As a side note, it would be great if the magenta team came out with an official AMI for this or more simply a magenta package with gpu support.
