Deep Learning VM Config to connect to Google Colab

Morning to all

Im trying to connect a google colab file to a Google Deep Learning VM with any results. My guess is that I need to configure something inside the VM or the google console but not sure how to do so.

I get the error that you will find in image 1 that says:

"The VM requested does not exist. Check out our guide to set up GCE VMs in Colab"

and has a the next link in which theres not much info on how to solve the situation:  https://research.google.com/colaboratory/marketplace.html

On image 2 and 3 you will find the info that I add to the colab file that is the same as the VM configuration that you will fins on image 3.

What I´m doing wrong? Do I need to asing special permits to the VM? 

Any comments or advice is more than appreciated

Did you confirm that the VM does exist in the project you typed down? If so, is its name correctly spelled and is the VM turned on?

I solve the issus by changing VM configuration(decrease or increase ram for exemple)

Hi All,

I too am experiencing the same issue as the original poster @holguinmora 

Would be very helpful to know the steps/configuration to overcome this issue @bentalla
