I did that recently - what are you trying to do exactly?

Spin up instance using AWS auto-scaler and use the init script to:

Get key-value pairs from AWS ssm and write to .env file clone private git repo build docker-image locally and use .env file during docker-compose enter container and spin up clearml-agent

echo -e $(aws ssm --region=eu-west-2 get-parameter --name 'my-param' --with-decryption --query "Parameter.Value") | tr -d '"' > .env set -a source .env set +a git clone https://${PAT}@github.com/myrepo/toolbox.git mv .env toolbox/ cd toolbox/ docker-compose up -d --build docker exec -it $(docker-compose ps -q) clearml-agent daemon --detached --gpus 0 --queue default

ok, what is your problem then?

When I run in the UI I get the following response
Error: Can not start new instance, An error occurred (InvalidParameterValue) when calling the RunInstances operation: Invalid availability zone: [eu-west-2]When I run programatically it just stalls and I don't get any read out

did you try with another availability zone?

Error: Can not start new instance, Could not connect to the endpoint URL: " "

Could you please share the stacktrace?

Follow the wizard to configure your AWS auto-scaler service.
Once completed, you will be able to view and change the configuration in the clearml-server web UI.
It means there is no need to worry about typos or mistakes :)

what about the stacktrace of the error:
Error: Can not start new instance, An error occurred (InvalidParameterValue) when calling the RunInstances operation: Invalid availability zone: [eu-west-2]?

I would probably leave it to the ClearML team to answer you, I am not using the UI app and for me it worked just well with different regions. Maybe check permissions of the key/secrets?

Thanks JitteryCoyote63 , I'll double check the permissions of key/secrets and if no luck I'll check with the team

RobustRat47 It can also simply be that the instance type you declared is not available in the zone you defined

Try to spin up the instance of that type manually in that region to see if it is available

I make 2x in eu-west-2 on the AWS console but still no luck

so I don't think it's an access issue

It doesn't help that the stacktrace isn't very verbose

Hi SuccessfulKoala55 who's the best person on the team to speak with?

RobustRat47 to make sure this is not a configuration/instance limit/zone issue, I would try to launch such an instance using the AWS CLI in the specified zone

Sure, I'll check this out later in the week and get back to you

I was having an issue with availability zone. I was using 'eu-west-2' instead of 'eu-west-2c'
