cannot Launch instance (kernel) with custom Sagemaker Image

Question

The custom image has been used for a long time.

For some reason, when I created new instance by using custom image from sagemaker studio, I keep get "Failed to start kernel" error.

Same image could work fine in the past.

Also I noticed that if failed first, and try with other instance, it could work. Some times if you kept trying on same instance there was a chance worked as well.

I hope sagemaker team aware of this issue.

Accepted Answer

I have been worked with Sagemaker support and they implemented the changes, the instance should be created correctly with custom images.

during the issue, @Gonzalo's temp solution was working perfectly

Answer

I'm experiencing the same error. My image has also been used for months without any problems. It started yesterday.

Also, cloudwatch logs don't show any errors.

As a temporary fix, you can start an instance with a default kernel (data science 3.0) and then switch to your custom image.

Answer

I also tested running the notebook from "notebook job". Looks like the kernel from job scheduler can start kernel without custom image without error.
