I dont think we have a dedicated channel for brev, but it has a bug when setting up the open ports among other custom configurations.
I thought of making a thread here since me end use is IsaacSim.
The following error message when I try to enter ports I wanna open individually for AWS provider, so it is a common issue related to IaC. They probably have to change the terraform code. Other Issue is that I cannot choose region and since i am trying to use it to collect datasets for VLA the latency is a big deal.
Also some providers wanna push OS images that cause all sort of issues
There was an error provisioning your instance: “api error InvalidParameterValue: The same permission must not appear multiple times (type: GenericAPIError, retryable: true)” Please retry creating a new instance on a different cloud!
I’ve seen similar provisioning errors when security group rules or port permissions are duplicated by IaC tools.
If you’re using Terraform, it might be creating the same rule multiple times across modules, which AWS rejects with “InvalidParameterValue”.
Maybe check:
- duplicated ingress rules
- dynamic blocks generating repeated ports
- or merge conflicts in security group definitions
Also, region selection and OS image differences can definitely impact latency and stability.
Hope this helps.
I am not using IaC because I am using BREV and it does not allow me to do so. Otherwise I would not have the issue.
The problem is brev backend needs fixing for their IaC, they are using terraform.
This is not allowed because it would be a massive security issue. If you want to use Brev, great, we encourage it, but what works on Brev, stays in Brev…LOL. If you want to use AWS or Azure, great as well. However, we cannot allow that kind of cross traffic. Do you work in either one of the other. We cannot have NVIDIA Brev machines talking to random AWS machines. Security wise that is a nightmare.
If you are already trying to talk to something hosted on AWS, then just set up whatever you are trying to set up on Brev, on AWS instead. Problem sovled.
I am aware, I was pointing out that some ports cannot be added or if u add one by one it causes an issues. It is known because the same issue happened with IsaacAutomator it is because a conditional rule in terraform specific to AWS provider.
it can easily be fixed, about images it is another topic that would greatly increase the QoL of anyone using Brev.
