GitHub Action for creating compute targets for Azure Machine Learning

Deprecation notice

This Action is deprecated. Instead, consider using the CLI (v2) to manage and interact with Azure Machine Learning compute in GitHub Actions.

Important: The CLI (v2) is not recommended for production use while in preview.

Usage

The actions for creating compute for Azure Machine Learning will allow you to create a new compute target on Azure Machine Learning using GitHub Actions.

Get started today with a free Azure account!

This repository contains a GitHub Action for creating and connecting to Azure Machine Learning compute resources, so you can later train or deploy machine learning models models remotely. If the compute target exists, it will connect to it, otherwise the action can create a new compute target based on the provided parameters. Currently, the action only supports Azure ML Clusters and AKS Clusters.

Dependencies on other GitHub Actions

  • Checkout Checkout your Git repository content into GitHub Actions agent.
  • aml-workspace This action requires an Azure Machine Learning workspace to be present. You can either create a new one or re-use an existing one using the action.

Utilize GitHub Actions and Azure Machine Learning to train and deploy a machine learning model

This action is one in a series of actions that can be used to setup an ML Ops process. We suggest getting started with one of our template repositories, which will allow you to create an ML Ops process in less than 5 minutes.

  1. Simple template repository: ml-template-azure

    Go to this template and follow the getting started guide to setup an ML Ops process within minutes and learn how to use the Azure Machine Learning GitHub Actions in combination. This template demonstrates a very simple process for training and deploying machine learning models.

  2. Advanced template repository: mlops-enterprise-template

    This template demonstrates how the actions can be extended to include the normal pull request approval process and how training and deployment workflows can be split. More enhancements will be added to this template in the future to make it more enterprise ready.

Example workflow for creating compute targets for Azure Machine Learning

name: My Workflow
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    # Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so your job can access it
    - name: Check Out Repository
      id: checkout_repository
      uses: actions/checkout@v2

    # AML Workspace Action
    - uses: Azure/aml-workspace@v1
      id: aml_workspace
      with:
        azure_credentials: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS }}

    # AML Compute Action
    - uses: Azure/aml-compute@v1
      id: aml_compute
      with:
        # required inputs as secrets
        azure_credentials: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS }}
        # optional
        parameters_file: "compute.json"

Inputs

Input Required Default Description
azure_credentials x - Output of az ad sp create-for-rbac --name <your-sp-name> --role contributor --scopes /subscriptions/<your-subscriptionId>/resourceGroups/<your-rg> --sdk-auth. This should be stored in your secrets
parameters_file "compute.json" We expect a JSON file in the .cloud/.azure folder in root of your repository specifying your Azure Machine Learning compute target details. If you have want to provide these details in a file other than "compute.json" you need to provide this input in the action.

azure_credentials (Azure Credentials)

Azure credentials are required to connect to your Azure Machine Learning Workspace. These may have been created for an action you are already using in your repository, if so, you can skip the steps below.

Install the Azure CLI on your computer or use the Cloud CLI and execute the following command to generate the required credentials:

# Replace {service-principal-name}, {subscription-id} and {resource-group} with your Azure subscription id and resource group name and any name for your service principle
az ad sp create-for-rbac --name {service-principal-name} \
                         --role contributor \
                         --scopes /subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resourceGroups/{resource-group} \
                         --sdk-auth

This will generate the following JSON output:

{
  "clientId": "<GUID>",
  "clientSecret": "<GUID>",
  "subscriptionId": "<GUID>",
  "tenantId": "<GUID>",
  (...)
}

Add this JSON output as a secret with the name AZURE_CREDENTIALS in your GitHub repository.

parameters_file (Parameter File)

The action tries to load a JSON file in the .cloud/.azure folder in your repository, which specifies details of your Azure Machine Learning compute target. By default, the action is looking for a file with the name compute.json. If your JSON file has a different name, you can specify it with this input parameter. Currently, the action only supports Azure ML Clusters and AKS Clusters. Note that none of these values are required and in the absence, defaults will be created with the repo name.

Sample files for AML and AKS clusters can be found in this repository in the folder .cloud/.azure. The JSON file can include the following parameters:

Common parameters
Parameter Required Allowed Values Default Description
name str <REPOSITORY_NAME> The name of the of the Compute object to retrieve or create. max characters is 16 and it can include letters, digits and dashes. It must start with a letter and end with a letter or number
compute_type (only for creating compute target) str: "amlcluster", "akscluster" - Specifies the type of compute target that should be created by the action if a compute target with the specified name was not found.
AML Cluster
Parameter Required Allowed Values Default Description
vm_size str: "Basic_A0", "Standard_DS3_v2", etc. "Standard_DS3_v2" The size of agent VMs. Note that not all sizes are available in all regions.
vm_priority str: "dedicated", "lowpriority" "dedicated" The VM priority.
min_nodes int: [0, inf[ 0 The minimum number of nodes to use on the cluster.
max_nodes int: [1, inf[ 4 The maximum number of nodes to use on the cluster.
idle_seconds_before_scaledown int: [0, inf[ 120 Node idle time in seconds before scaling down the cluster.

"Disabled" indicates that the public ssh port is closed on all nodes of the cluster. "Enabled" indicates that the public ssh port is open on all nodes of the cluster. "NotSpecified" indicates that the public ssh port is closed on all nodes of the cluster if VNet is defined, else is open all public nodes. It can be this default value only during cluster creation time. After creation, it will be either enabled or disabled.
