- Avoid reusing the original boot keys except by administrators when creating new instances.
- Avoid sharing keys and [add individual ssh keys](http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/87480/managing-multiple-ssh-private-keys-for-a-team) for individual users.
- **GPU support:** You can rent GPU-enabled instances on EC2 for use in machine learning or graphics rendering workloads.
- There are [three generations](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using_cluster_computing.html) of GPU-enabled instances available:
- Third generation P2 series offers NVIDIA K80 GPUs in 1, 8 and 16 GPU configurations targeting machine learning and scientific workloads. AWS offers an [AMI](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01M0AXXQB?qid=1475211685369&sr=0-1&ref_=srh_res_product_title) (based on Amazon Linux) with most NVIDIA drivers and ancillary software (CUDA, CuDNN, TensorFlow) installed.

- Third generation P2 series offers NVIDIA K80 GPUs in 1, 8 and 16 GPU configurations targeting machine learning and scientific workloads.
- Second generation G2 series offers NVIDIA K520 GPUs in 1 or 4 GPU configurations targeting graphics and video encoding.
- First generation CG1 instances are still available in some regions in a single configuration with a NVIDIA M2050 GPU.
- 🔹As with any expensive EC2 instance types, [Spot instances can offer significant savings](#ec2-cost-management) with GPU workloads when interruptions are tolerable.
- ⛓ AWS offers an [AMI](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01M0AXXQB?qid=1475211685369&sr=0-1&ref_=srh_res_product_title) (based on Amazon Linux) with most NVIDIA drivers and ancillary software (CUDA, CUBLAS, CuDNN, TensorFlow) installed to lower the barrier to usage. Note, however, that this leads to lock-in due to Amazon Linux and the fact that you have no direct access to software configuration or versioning.
