This modules makes it easy to create and connect to a DataLab instance without needing the datalab command-line tool. DataLab instances with GPUs are supported.

Use Cloud Datalab to easily explore, visualize, analyze, and transform data using familiar languages, such as Python and SQL, interactively

• terraform 0.11.x
• terraform-provider-google plugin v2.7.0

In order to operate with the Service Account you must activate the following APIs on the project where the Service Account was created:

Compute Engine API - compute.googleapis.com

The service account for the datalab instances will need the permission compute.instances.stop in order to allow the idle timeout option to shutdown the instance.

Not all GPU types are supported in all zones. Go here to check which GPU type and zones are supported https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/gpus/

The DataLab GPU instance will take a few more minutes to come up since it needs to install the NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver

To verify that the drivers are installed correctly and the instance has the correct number of GPUs run: /var/lib/nvidia/bin/nvidia-smi

gcloud beta compute start-iap-tunnel INSTANCE_NAME 8080 \

  --zone ZONE \
