Domino AI Training Flow

This repo mocks a sample AI training script using Domino Flows.

The input to this flow is the path to a sample dataset that is provided in this repository.

To run the flow, execute the following command in a workspace using the Domino Standard Environment:

pyflyte run --remote workflow.py training_workflow --data_path /mnt/code/data/data.csv

Once you run the command, a direct link to the Flyte console should be returned:

Execution Link

Upon clicking on the link, you should be navigated to a page where you can monitor the execution:

Flow Definition

The flow is defined in the workflow.py file. The sample flow contains two tasks - one for data preparation and one for model training. Each task ultimately triggers a Domino Job and returns the outputs. We'll go through each of the steps in detail.

Data preparation

The code snippet below shows the definition for the data preparation task:

data_prep_results = run_domino_job_task(
    flyte_task_name="Prepare data",
    command="python /mnt/code/scripts/prep-data.py",
    hardware_tier_name="Small",
    inputs=[
        Input(name="data_path", type=str, value=data_path)
    ],
    output_specs=[
        Output(name="processed_data", type=FlyteFile[TypeVar("csv")])
    ],
    use_project_defaults_for_omitted=True
)

As you can see, we use the run_domino_job_task helper method to create the task with the appropriate parameters. Explaining each parameter in detail:

  • flyte_task_name: The name for the task.
  • command: The command that will be used in the Domino Job.
  • environment: The name of the environment you want to use for the task. If not specified, the default environment for the project will be used.
  • hardware_tier_name: The name of the hardware tier you want to use for the task. If not specified, the default hardware tier for the project will be used.
  • inputs: A list of inputs that the task depends on. Note how the data_path input is set to the argument provided through the command line when starting the flow.
  • outputs: A list of outputs that will be produced by that task. Supported input and output types are documented here

Inputs can be accessed within Domino Jobs at /workflow/inputs/<NAME OF INPUT>. In a similar fashion, outputs must be written to /workflow/outputs/<NAME OF OUTPUT> inside the Domino Job for them to be tracked and returned in the task. See the scripts inside the script folder for more details.

Model training

The code snippet below shows the definition for the model training task:

training_results = run_domino_job_task(
    flyte_task_name="Train model",
    command="python /mnt/code/scripts/train-model.py",
    hardware_tier_name="Small",
    inputs=[
        Input(name="processed_data", type=FlyteFile[TypeVar("csv")], value=data_prep_results['processed_data']),
        Input(name="epochs", type=int, value=10),
        Input(name="batch_size", type=int, value=32)
    ],
    output_specs=[
        Output(name="model", type=FlyteFile)
    ],
    use_project_defaults_for_omitted=True
)

As you can see, the same run_domino_job_task function is used again. One thing to note is how the output from the data prep tasks is referenced via data_prep_results['processed_data'] and it specified as an input to the training task.

Environment Requirements

The project just requires the Domino Standard Environment which comes included with all Domino deployments.

Hardware Requirements

This project works with a the default small-k8s tier that comes with all Domino deployments.
