Lambda GPU cloud: SSH connection refused right after launch is normal
Complete solution
after launch, wait 3-15 minutes for the instance to initialize before SSHing.
[lambda-labs skill]: after launch, wait 3-15 minutes for the instance to initialize before SSHing. The default login user is ubuntu: ssh ubuntu@[instance IP]. If it still refuses after 15 minutes, check the instance status in the console; recreating the instance just restarts the clock. Verify the stack after first login with nvidia-smi and a torch CUDA check.
Context: A fresh Lambda (lambda.ai) instance refuses SSH for the first minutes. Do not recreate it.
