Making predictions in a notebook environment

If you took a day's (or a few days') break after the previous chapter, it's likely that your connection to the remote virtual machine ended. Because of that, you'll need to reconnect and start the API once again. There are ways to make your API always running, but that's out of the scope of this book. Furthermore, if you've moved the TPOT_Book_KeyPair.pem file to some other folder, you'll have to reset the permissions:
