NAME

gcloud alpha ai custom-jobs create - create a new custom job

SYNOPSIS

gcloud alpha ai custom-jobs create --display-name=DISPLAY_NAME (--config=CONFIG --worker-pool-spec=[WORKER_POOL_SPEC,…]) [--args=[ARG,…]] [--command=[COMMAND,…]] [--enable-dashboard-access] [--enable-web-access] [--labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]] [--network=NETWORK] [--persistent-resource-id=PERSISTENT_RESOURCE_ID] [--python-package-uris=[PYTHON_PACKAGE_URIS,…]] [--region=REGION] [--service-account=SERVICE_ACCOUNT] [--kms-key=KMS_KEY : --kms-keyring=KMS_KEYRING --kms-location=KMS_LOCATION --kms-project=KMS_PROJECT] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) This command will attempt to run the custom job immediately upon creation.

EXAMPLES

To create a job under project example in region us-central1, run:

gcloud alpha ai custom-jobs create --region=us-central1 --project=example --worker-pool-spec=replica-count=1,machine-type='n1-highmem-2',container-image-uri='gcr.io/ucaip-test/ucaip-training-test' --display-name=test

REQUIRED FLAGS

--display-name=DISPLAY_NAME

Display name of the custom job to create.

Worker pool specification.

At least one of these must be specified:

--config=CONFIG

Path to the job configuration file. This file should be a YAML document containing a `CustomJobSpec`. If an option is specified both in the configuration file **and** via command-line arguments, the command-line arguments override the configuration file. Note that keys with underscore are invalid.

Example(YAML):

workerPoolSpecs:
  machineSpec:
    machineType: n1-highmem-2
  replicaCount: 1
  containerSpec:
    imageUri: gcr.io/ucaip-test/ucaip-training-test
    args:
    - port=8500
    command:
    - start

--worker-pool-spec=[WORKER_POOL_SPEC,…]

Define the worker pool configuration used by the custom job. You can specify multiple worker pool specs in order to create a custom job with multiple worker pools.

The spec can contain the following fields:

machine-type

(Required): The type of the machine. see https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/training/configure-compute#machine-types for supported types. This is corresponding to the machineSpec.machineType field in WorkerPoolSpec API message.

replica-count

The number of worker replicas to use for this worker pool, by default the value is 1. This is corresponding to the replicaCount field in WorkerPoolSpec API message.

accelerator-type

The type of GPUs. see https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/training/configure-compute#specifying_gpus for more requirements. This is corresponding to the machineSpec.acceleratorType field in WorkerPoolSpec API message.

accelerator-count

The number of GPUs for each VM in the worker pool to use, by default the value if 1. This is corresponding to the machineSpec.acceleratorCount field in WorkerPoolSpec API message.

container-image-uri

The URI of a container image to be directly run on each worker replica. This is corresponding to the containerSpec.imageUri field in WorkerPoolSpec API message.

executor-image-uri

The URI of a container image that will run the provided package.

output-image-uri

The URI of a custom container image to be built for autopackaged custom jobs.

python-module

The Python module name to run within the provided package.

local-package-path

The local path of a folder that contains training code.

script

The relative path under the local-package-path to a file to execute. It can be a Python file or an arbitrary bash script.

requirements

Python dependencies to be installed from PyPI, separated by ";". This is supposed to be used when some public packages are required by your training application but not in the base images. It has the same effect as editing a "requirements.txt" file under local-package-path.

extra-packages

Relative paths of local Python archives to be installed, separated by ";". This is supposed to be used when some custom packages are required by your training application but not in the base images. Every path should be relative to the local-package-path.

extra-dirs

Relative paths of the folders under local-package-path to be copied into the container, separated by ";". If not specified, only the parent directory that contains the main executable (script or python-module) will be copied.

Note that some of these fields are used for different job creation methods and are categorized as mutually exclusive groups listed below. Exactly one of these groups of fields must be specified:

container-image-uri

Specify this field to use a custom container image for training. Together with the --command and --args flags, this field represents a `WorkerPoolSpec.ContainerSpec` message. In this case, the --python-package-uris flag is disallowed.

Example: --worker-pool-spec=replica-count=1,machine-type=n1-highmem-2,container-image-uri=gcr.io/ucaip-test/ucaip-training-test

executor-image-uri, python-module

Specify these fields to train using a pre-built container and Python packages that are already in Cloud Storage. Together with the --python-package-uris and --args flags, these fields represent a `WorkerPoolSpec.PythonPackageSpec` message .

Example: --worker-pool-spec=machine-type=e2-standard-4,executor-image-uri=us-docker.pkg.dev/vertex-ai/training/tf-cpu.2-4:latest,python-module=trainer.task

output-image-uri

Specify this field to push the output custom container training image to a specific path in Container Registry or Artifact Registry for an autopackaged custom job.

Example: --worker-pool-spec=machine-type=e2-standard-4,executor-image-uri=us-docker.pkg.dev/vertex-ai/training/tf-cpu.2-4:latest,output-image-uri='eu.gcr.io/projectName/imageName',python-module=trainer.task

local-package-path, executor-image-uri, output-image-uri, python-module|script

Specify these fields, optionally with requirements, extra-packages, or extra-dirs, to train using a pre-built container and Python code from a local path. In this case, the --python-package-uris flag is disallowed.

Example using python-module: --worker-pool-spec=machine-type=e2-standard-4,replica-count=1,executor-image-uri=us-docker.pkg.dev/vertex-ai/training/tf-cpu.2-4:latest,python-module=trainer.task,local-package-path=/usr/page/application

Example using script: --worker-pool-spec=machine-type=e2-standard-4,replica-count=1,executor-image-uri=us-docker.pkg.dev/vertex-ai/training/tf-cpu.2-4:latest,script=my_run.sh,local-package-path=/usr/jeff/application

OPTIONAL FLAGS

--args=[ARG,…]

Comma-separated arguments passed to containers or python tasks.

--command=[COMMAND,…]

Command to be invoked when containers are started. It overrides the entrypoint instruction in Dockerfile when provided.

--enable-dashboard-access

Whether you want Vertex AI to enable dashboard built on the training containers. If set to true, you can access the dashboard at the URIs given by CustomJob.web_access_uris or Trial.web_access_uris (within HyperparameterTuningJob.trials).

--enable-web-access

Whether you want Vertex AI to enable interactive shell access to training containers. If set to true, you can access interactive shells at the URIs given by CustomJob.web_access_uris or Trial.web_access_uris (within HyperparameterTuningJob.trials).

--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.

--network=NETWORK

Full name of the Google Compute Engine network to which the Job is peered with. Private services access must already have been configured. If unspecified, the Job is not peered with any network.

--persistent-resource-id=PERSISTENT_RESOURCE_ID

The name of the persistent resource from the same project and region on which to run this custom job.

If this is specified, the job will be run on existing machines held by the PersistentResource instead of on-demand short-lived machines. The network and CMEK configs on the job should be consistent with those on the PersistentResource, otherwise, the job will be rejected.

--python-package-uris=[PYTHON_PACKAGE_URIS,…]

The common Python package URIs to be used for training with a pre-built container image. e.g. --python-package-uri=path1,path2 If you are using multiple worker pools and want to specify a different Python packag fo reach pool, use --config instead.
