'Unable to connect to runtime & how to avoid disconnecting
I've been running a few ML training sessions on a GCE VM (with Colab). At the start they are saving me a good deal of time/computing resources, but, like everything Google so far, ultimately the run time disconnects and I cannot reconnect to my VM despite it still being there. a) how do we reconnect to a runtime if the VM exists, we have been disconnected, and it says it cannot reconnect to runtime?
b) how to avoid disconnecting/this issue at all? I am using Colab Pro+ and paying for VM's. And always they cut out at some point and it's just another week of time gone out the window. I must be doing something wrong as there's no way we pay for just losing all of our progress/time all the time and have to restart in hope it doesn't collapse again (it's been about 2 weeks of lost time and I'm just wondering why it GCE VM's can't just run a job for 4 days without collapsing at some point). What am I doing wrong? I just want to pay for an external resource that runs the jobs I pay for, and no connect/disconnect/lose everything issue every few days. I don't understand why Google does this.
