Install NVIDIA T4 on AWS Windows 2019 Ec2 Instance

To install NVIDIA drivers on your AWS Windows EC2 instance using the IAM role follow these steps:

Prerequisites:

1. Ensure Instance Type Supports GPU: Confirm that your EC2 instance type supports GPUs (e.g., G4dn, G3, or G5).
2. IAM Role Setup: Attach the "GSS-Teradici" IAM role to your EC2 instance to grant permissions for accessing the S3 bucket containing the NVIDIA drivers.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Attach IAM Role to Instance:
   • Go to the EC2 Console on AWS.
   • Select your EC2 instance, click on Actions → Security → Modify IAM Role.
   • Attach the GSS-Teradici IAM role to the instance.
2. Connect to Your Windows Instance:
   • Use RDP to connect to your EC2 Windows instance.
   • Download the .rdp file and connect to the instance using your administrator credentials.
3. Open PowerShell with AWS CLI:
   • Ensure the AWS CLI is installed on your instance. If not, download and install it from AWS CLI Installation Guide.
   • Open PowerShell.
4. Set Up Environment Variables:
   • Define the S3 bucket and key prefix for the NVIDIA drivers in PowerShell:
   • Run the following PowerShell script to download the drivers from the S3 bucket:
   • This script will copy all files with the "latest" prefix from the ec2-windows-nvidia-drivers bucket to the specified local path on your instance.
5. Install the Driver:
   • After the download completes, navigate to the NVIDIA folder on your desktop.
   • Run the driver installer and follow the prompts to complete the installation.
6. Verify Installation:
   • Open Device Manager on the instance.
   • Confirm that the NVIDIA GPU appears under Display adapters.
   • Optionally, open the NVIDIA Control Panel to verify functionality.

$Bucket = "ec2-windows-nvidia-drivers"

$KeyPrefix = "latest"

$LocalPath = "$home\Desktop\NVIDIA"

$Objects = Get-S3Object -BucketName $Bucket -KeyPrefix $KeyPrefix -Region us-east-1

foreach ($Object in $Objects) {

    $LocalFileName = $Object.Key

    if ($LocalFileName -ne '' -and $Object.Size -ne 0) {

        $LocalFilePath = Join-Path $LocalPath $LocalFileName

        Copy-S3Object -BucketName $Bucket -Key $Object.Key -LocalFile $LocalFilePath -Region us-east-1

    }

}

After following these steps, your EC2 instance should be equipped with the NVIDIA drivers, allowing you to utilize the GPU capabilities for tasks like machine learning and graphics processing.
