Launching machines, including GPU-backed notebooks, is a breeze with Komodo:

​
1. Create your machine config file

Copy the following YAML file to dev.yaml and modify it to your needs: 
resources:
  # 1x A10 GPU
  accelerators: A10:1

envs:
  # set the environment variable MY_ENV_VAR to my-value
  MY_ENV_VAR: my-value

# Copy the contents of the current directory onto the remote machine
workdir: .

# Typical use: pip install -r requirements.txt
# Invoked under the workdir (ie. can use its files)
setup: |
  echo "Running setup operations"

# Start a notebook on the machine (this will use port 8888)
notebook: true

​
2. Launch the machine

Launch the machine by simply running:
Machine names are required to be unique, because that is how you reference them with the CLI.
komo machine launch dev.yaml --name dev
You can also omit the notebook parameter in the config file, and instead start a notebook with the --notebook CLI flag: 
komo machine launch dev.yaml --notebook --name dev

​
3. Open the notebook

When interacting with machines using the CLI, you reference them using their unique name rather than their ID.
And that’s it! Once your machine is running, you will be able to open the notebook from the dashboard. You can also open the notebook from the CLI: 
komo machine notebook dev
