Batch Shipyard
Batch Shipyard is a tool to help provision and execute batch processing and HPC 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
- Comprehensive data movement support: move data easily between locally accessible storage systems, remote filesystems, Azure Blob or File Storage, and compute nodes
- Docker Private Registry support
- Azure Container Registry
- Any internet accessible Docker container registry
- Self-hosted private registry backed to Azure Storage with automated private registry instance creation on compute nodes
- Integrated Remote Filesystem Provisioning and auto-linking of these filesystems to compute nodes with support for
- Automatic shared data volume support
- Remote Filesystems as provisioned by Batch Shipyard
- Azure File Docker Volume Driver installation and share setup for SMB/CIFS backed to Azure Storage
- GlusterFS provisioned directly on compute nodes
- 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 DAGs with Docker containers
- Transparent support for GPU-accelerated Docker applications on Azure N-Series VM instances
- Support for multi-instance tasks to accommodate Dockerized MPI and multi-node cluster applications on compute pools with automatic job completion and Docker task termination
- Transparent assist for running Docker containers utilizing Infiniband/RDMA for MPI on HPC low-latency Azure VM instances:
- Automatic setup of SSH users to all nodes in the compute pool and optional tunneling to Docker Hosts on compute nodes
- Support for credential management through Azure KeyVault
Installation
Installation is typically an easy two-step process. The CLI is also available as a Docker image: alfpark/batch-shipyard:cli-latest. Please see the installation guide for more information regarding installation and requirements.
Documentation
Please refer to the Batch Shipyard Guide for a complete primer on concepts, usage and a quickstart guide.
Please visit the Batch Shipyard Recipes for various sample Docker workloads using Azure Batch and Batch Shipyard after you have completed the introductory sections of the Batch Shipyard Guide.
Batch Shipyard Compute Node OS Support
Batch Shipyard is currently only compatible with Azure Batch supported Marketplace Linux VMs.
