Batch Shipyard
Batch Shipyard is a tool to help provision and execute batch-style Docker workloads on Azure Batch compute pools. No experience with the Azure Batch SDK is needed; run your Dockerized tasks with easy-to-understand configuration files!
Major Features
- Automated Docker Host Engine installation tuned for Azure Batch compute nodes
- Automated deployment of required Docker images to compute nodes
- Accelerated Docker image deployment at scale to compute pools consisting of a large number of VMs via private peer-to-peer distribution of Docker images among the compute nodes
- Automated Docker Private Registry instance creation on compute nodes with Docker images backed to Azure Storage if specified
- Automatic shared data volume support:
- Azure File Docker Volume Driver installation and share setup for SMB/CIFS backed to Azure Storage if specified
- GlusterFS distributed network file system installation and setup if specified
- Seamless integration with Azure Batch job, task and file concepts along with full pass-through of the Azure Batch API to containers executed on compute nodes
- Support for Azure Batch task dependencies allowing complex processing pipelines and graphs with Docker containers
- Transparent support for GPU accelerated Docker applications on Azure N-Series VM instances (Preview)
- Support for multi-instance tasks to accommodate Dockerized MPI and multi-node cluster applications on compute pools with automatic job cleanup
- Transparent assist for running Docker containers utilizing Infiniband/RDMA for MPI on HPC low-latency Azure VM instances:
- Automatic setup of SSH tunneling to Docker Hosts on compute nodes if specified
