Was this meant to be part of a thread? And is this your own machine you are running a VM on? The cloud is using VMs.

So yes you will need Python and tensorflow installed for tensorflow based project.

You can ‘version’ using Docker, Python venv or Anaconda/miniconda. And that can be done on baremetal machines, VMs or cloud.

We have simple ‘getting started’ documentation for these at:

• Linux | Lambda Docs
• How do I install Docker and run a container? | Lambda Docs
• How do I create a Python virtual environment? | Lambda Docs
• How do I create a conda virtual environment? | Lambda Docs

A VM adds overhead, and docker would be the simplest “pre-canned” images.

NVIDIA provides the NGC repository which could be helpful to pick python version + TF version.

• TensorFlow | NVIDIA NGC

Next easiest is Anaconda/Conda to use for a old version of Python no longer installed.

conda create --name my_env python=3.8.5 -c anaconda -c nvidia

python venv the old version should be a alternate Ubuntu version installed.

Dear Mark,

Thanks for your reply, although a bit late but thank you.

God Bless Brother.
