task: generic option combinations not working

[casperdcl]

Some useful generic option combinations don't work:

resource "iterative_task" ... {
  cloud   = "aws"
  image   = "nvidia"
  spot    = 0

  # willing to change this, need cheapest possible GPU:
  machine = "m+k80"
  region  = "us-east"
  ...
}

• m+{k80,v100}
• l+k80

File a bug report with them, asking them to make the AMI available for all instance types. It should be in their best interest to allow that.

More specifically, ask NVIDIA to enable the following instance types in the AWS Marketplace:

• p2.xlarge — also known as m+k80 in our examples
• p3.8xlarge — also known as l+v100 in our examples

Can we also have small instances for now https://github.com/iterative/terraform-provider-iterative/issues/328#issuecomment-1105637771?

Action points for #524, i.e. this issue:

• Ask NVIDIA to allow using their image on those instances. 😄 🤭
• Alternatively, use AWS DLAMI instead of NVIDIA NGC when users specify image = "nvidia"

~Sounds like #328 to me. 🙃 Also known as p5-chore-we-actively-ignore unless we have a good reason not to.~ 😈
