DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) Submit an AI Platform training job.

This creates temporary files and executes Python code staged by a user on Cloud Storage. Model code can either be specified with a path, e.g.:

gcloud alpha ai-platform jobs submit training my_job --module-name trainer.task --staging-bucket gs://my-bucket --package-path /my/code/path/trainer --packages additional-dep1.tar.gz,dep2.whl

Or by specifying an already built package:

gcloud alpha ai-platform jobs submit training my_job --module-name trainer.task --staging-bucket gs://my-bucket --packages trainer-0.0.1.tar.gz,additional-dep1.tar.gz,dep2.whl

If --package-path=/my/code/path/trainer is specified and there is a setup.py file at /my/code/path/setup.py, the setup file will be invoked with sdist and the generated tar files will be uploaded to Cloud Storage. Otherwise, a temporary setup.py file will be generated for the build.

By default, this command runs asynchronously; it exits once the job is successfully submitted.

To follow the progress of your job, pass the --stream-logs flag (note that even with the --stream-logs flag, the job will continue to run after this command exits and must be cancelled with gcloud ai-platform jobs cancel JOB_ID).

For more information, see: https://cloud.google.com/ai-platform/training/docs/overview

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

JOB

Name of the job.

[-- USER_ARGS …]

Additional user arguments to be forwarded to user code

The '--' argument must be specified between gcloud specific args on the left and USER_ARGS on the right.

FLAGS

--config=CONFIG

Path to the job configuration file. This file should be a YAML document (JSON also accepted) containing a Job resource as defined in the API (all fields are optional): https://cloud.google.com/ml/reference/rest/v1/projects.jobs

EXAMPLES:

JSON:

{
  "jobId": "my_job",
  "labels": {
    "type": "prod",
    "owner": "alice"
  },
  "trainingInput": {
    "scaleTier": "BASIC",
    "packageUris": [
      "gs://my/package/path"
    ],
    "region": "us-east1"
  }
}

YAML:

jobId: my_job
labels:
  type: prod
  owner: alice
trainingInput:
  scaleTier: BASIC
  packageUris:
  - gs://my/package/path
  region: us-east1

If an option is specified both in the configuration file **and** via command line arguments, the command line arguments override the configuration file.

--enable-web-access

Whether you want AI Platform Training to enable [interactive shell access] (https://cloud.google.com/ai-platform/training/docs/monitor-debug-interactive-shell) to training containers. If set to true, you can access interactive shells at the URIs given by TrainingOutput.web_access_uris or HyperparameterOutput.web_access_uris (within TrainingOutput.trials).

--job-dir=JOB_DIR

Cloud Storage path in which to store training outputs and other data needed for training.

This path will be passed to your TensorFlow program as the --job-dir command-line arg. The benefit of specifying this field is that AI Platform will validate the path for use in training. However, note that your training program will need to parse the provided --job-dir argument.

If packages must be uploaded and --staging-bucket is not provided, this path will be used instead.

--labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]

List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.

Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers. Values must contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers.

--master-accelerator=[count=COUNT],[type=TYPE]

Hardware accelerator config for the master worker. Must specify both the accelerator type (TYPE) for each server and the number of accelerators to attach to each server (COUNT).

type

Type of the accelerator. Choices are nvidia-tesla-a100,nvidia-tesla-k80,nvidia-tesla-p100,nvidia-tesla-p4,nvidia-tesla-t4,nvidia-tesla-v100,tpu-v2,tpu-v2-pod,tpu-v3,tpu-v3-pod,tpu-v4-pod

count

Number of accelerators to attach to each machine running the job. Must be greater than 0.

--master-image-uri=MASTER_IMAGE_URI

Docker image to run on each master worker. This image must be in Container Registry. Only one of --master-image-uri and --runtime-version must be specified.

--master-machine-type=MASTER_MACHINE_TYPE

Specifies the type of virtual machine to use for training job's master worker.

You must set this value when --scale-tier is set to CUSTOM.

--module-name=MODULE_NAME

Name of the module to run.

--network=NETWORK

Full name of the Google Compute Engine network (https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs) to which the Job is peered with. For example, projects/12345/global/networks/myVPC. The format is of the form projects/{project}/global/networks/{network}, where {project} is a project number, as in '12345', and {network} is network name. Private services access must already have been configured (https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/configure-private-services-access) for the network. If unspecified, the Job is not peered with any network.

--package-path=PACKAGE_PATH

Path to a Python package to build. This should point to a local directory containing the Python source for the job. It will be built using setuptools (which must be installed) using its parent directory as context. If the parent directory contains a setup.py file, the build will use that; otherwise, it will use a simple built-in one.

--packages=[PACKAGE,…]

Path to Python archives used for training. These can be local paths (absolute or relative), in which case they will be uploaded to the Cloud Storage bucket given by --staging-bucket, or Cloud Storage URLs ('gs://bucket-name/path/to/package.tar.gz').

--parameter-server-accelerator=[count=COUNT],[type=TYPE]

Hardware accelerator config for the parameter servers. Must specify both the accelerator type (TYPE) for each server and the number of accelerators to attach to each server (COUNT).

type

Type of the accelerator. Choices are nvidia-tesla-a100,nvidia-tesla-k80,nvidia-tesla-p100,nvidia-tesla-p4,nvidia-tesla-t4,nvidia-tesla-v100,tpu-v2,tpu-v2-pod,tpu-v3,tpu-v3-pod,tpu-v4-pod

count

Number of accelerators to attach to each machine running the job. Must be greater than 0.

--parameter-server-image-uri=PARAMETER_SERVER_IMAGE_URI

Docker image to run on each parameter server. This image must be in Container Registry. If not specified, the value of --master-image-uri is used.

--python-version=PYTHON_VERSION

Version of Python used during training. Choices are 3.7, 3.5, and 2.7. However, this value must be compatible with the chosen runtime version for the job.

Must be used with a compatible runtime version:

• 3.7 is compatible with runtime versions 1.15 and later.
• 3.5 is compatible with runtime versions 1.4 through 1.14.
• 2.7 is compatible with runtime versions 1.15 and earlier.

--region=REGION

Region of the machine learning training job to submit. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/region property:

gcloud config set compute/region REGION

A list of regions can be fetched by running:

gcloud compute regions list

To unset the property, run:

gcloud config unset compute/region

Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.

--runtime-version=RUNTIME_VERSION

AI Platform runtime version for this job. Must be specified unless --master-image-uri is specified instead. It is defined in documentation along with the list of supported versions: https://cloud.google.com/ai-platform/prediction/docs/runtime-version-list

--scale-tier=SCALE_TIER

Specify the machine types, the number of replicas for workers, and parameter servers. SCALE_TIER must be one of:

basic

Single worker instance. This tier is suitable for learning how to use AI Platform, and for experimenting with new models using small datasets.

basic-gpu

Single worker instance with a GPU.

basic-tpu

Single worker instance with a Cloud TPU.

custom

CUSTOM tier is not a set tier, but rather enables you to use your own cluster specification. When you use this tier, set values to configure your processing cluster according to these guidelines (using the --config flag):

• You must set TrainingInput.masterType to specify the type of machine to use for your master node. This is the only required setting.
• You may set TrainingInput.workerCount to specify the number of workers to use. If you specify one or more workers, you must also set TrainingInput.workerType to specify the type of machine to use for your worker nodes.
• You may set TrainingInput.parameterServerCount to specify the number of parameter servers to use. If you specify one or more parameter servers, you must also set TrainingInput.parameterServerType to specify the type of machine to use for your parameter servers. Note that all of your workers must use the same machine type, which can be different from your parameter server type and master type. Your parameter servers must likewise use the same machine type, which can be different from your worker type and master type.

premium-1

Large number of workers with many parameter servers.

standard-1

Many workers and a few parameter servers.

--service-account=SERVICE_ACCOUNT

The email address of a service account to use when running the training appplication. You must have the iam.serviceAccounts.actAs permission for the specified service account. In addition, the AI Platform Training Google-managed service account must have the roles/iam.serviceAccountAdmin role for the specified service account. Learn more about configuring a service account. If not specified, the AI Platform Training Google-managed service account is used by default.

--staging-bucket=STAGING_BUCKET

Bucket in which to stage training archives.

Required only if a file upload is necessary (that is, other flags include local paths) and no other flags implicitly specify an upload path.

--tpu-tf-version=TPU_TF_VERSION

Runtime version of TensorFlow used by the container. This field must be specified if a custom container on the TPU worker is being used.

--use-chief-in-tf-config=USE_CHIEF_IN_TF_CONFIG

--worker-accelerator=[count=COUNT],[type=TYPE]

Hardware accelerator config for the worker nodes. Must specify both the accelerator type (TYPE) for each server and the number of accelerators to attach to each server (COUNT).

type

Type of the accelerator. Choices are nvidia-tesla-a100,nvidia-tesla-k80,nvidia-tesla-p100,nvidia-tesla-p4,nvidia-tesla-t4,nvidia-tesla-v100,tpu-v2,tpu-v2-pod,tpu-v3,tpu-v3-pod,tpu-v4-pod
