Hi There. Does The

Hi there. Does the AWS Autoscaler (PRO account, Web app) work?

I'm a bit confused how it should work. I'm able to run an EC2 instance via AWS Autoscaler but it doesn't process any queue items. Sometimes it terminates and spins up instances in a loop. In logs I see next message:

2024-01-09 17:48:38,707 - clearml.Auto-Scaler - INFO - Stuck worker spun down: 'dynamic_aws:clearml-autoscaler:g4dn.4xlarge:i-03c82eb66e06bb7ff'

Full example of logs:

My config is:

Subnet is public, security group allows SSH connection over 22 port. But the created instance doesn't allocate a public IP. As a result SSH connection doesn't work. Does the AWS Autoscaler need SSH connection?

I don't see any errors in instance's logs. Queues aren't processed. Instances are terminated and created in a loop. I've tried the "ClearML GPU Compute" autoscaler - it works. But my goal is to run own instances on AWS. Does anybody have ideas where I'm wrong? Maybe @<1523701070390366208:profile|CostlyOstrich36> 🙂

The Autoscaler does not use SSH. However, the docker service is required on that instance, and I assume this is the reason why the instance is not starting up correctly

The issue was in my Terraform VPC configuration: I missed the enable_nat_gateway = true . Thus EC2 instance was not able to even update OS packages. The "Instance log files" on the AWS Autoscaler page pointed me to that issue.
SSH connection is not required, yep.

Thank you @<1523701087100473344:profile|SuccessfulKoala55> for the ideas. AMI is - ami-0025f0db847eb6254 , it may doesn't have docker, yeah - I will check out that.
My main assumption is that AWS Autoscaler can't establish SSH connection with a EC2 instance. Because the EC2 instance is created without public IP address (not sure if it's the clue).

Hi @<1572032849320611840:profile|HurtRaccoon43> , I would bet that there's some issue when the instances start running - the easiest thing to do it grab they system log from the AWS console and share it here. Which AMI are you using? is it possible this AMI does not have docker preinstalled?
