We will show you step by step on how to run distributed PaddlePaddle training on AWS cluster with Kubernetes. Let's start from core concepts.

## Distributed PaddlePaddle Training Core Concepts

### Distributed Training Job

A distributed training job is represented by a [Kubernetes job](https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/jobs/#what-is-a-job).

Each Kuberentes job is described by a job config file, which specifies the information like the number of [pods](https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/pods/#what-is-a-pod) in the job and environment variables.

In a distributed training job, we would:

1. prepare partitioned training data and configuration file on a distributed file system (in this tutorial we use Amazon Elastic File System), and
1. create and submit the Kubernetes job config to the Kubernetes cluster to start the training job.

### Parameter Servers and Trainers

There are two roles in a PaddlePaddle cluster: *parameter server (pserver)* and *trainer*. Each parameter server process maintains a shard of the global model. Each trainer has its local copy of the model, and uses its local data to update the model. During the training process, trainers send model updates to parameter servers, parameter servers are responsible for aggregating these updates, so that trainers can synchronize their local copy with the global model.

<center>![Model is partitioned into two shards. Managed by two parameter servers respectively.](src/pserver_and_trainer.png)</center>

In order to communicate with pserver, trainer needs to know the ip address of each pserver. In kubernetes it's better to use a service discovery mechanism (e.g., DNS hostname) rather than static ip address, since any pserver's pod may be killed and a new pod could be schduled onto another node of different ip address. However, now we are using static ip. This will be improved.

Parameter server and trainer are packaged into a same docker image. They will run once pod is scheduled by kubernetes job.

### Trainer ID

Each trainer process requires a trainer ID, a zero-based index value, passed in as a command-line parameter. The trainer process thus reads the data partition indexed by this ID.

### Training

The entry-point of a container is a shell script. It can see some environment variables pre-defined by Kubernetes. This includes one that gives the job's identity, which can be used in a remote call to the Kubernetes apiserver that lists all pods in the job.

We rank each pod by sorting them by their ips. The rank of each pod could be the "pod ID". Because we run one trainer and one parameter server in each pod, we can use this "pod ID" as the trainer ID. A detailed workflow of the entry-point script is as follows:

1. Query the api server to get pod information, and assign the `trainer_id` by sorting the ip.
1. Copy the training data from EFS persistent volume into container.
1. Parse the `paddle pserver` and `paddle trainer` startup parameters from environment variables, and then start up the processes.
1. Trainer with `train_id` 0 will automatically write results onto EFS volume.

### Choose AWS Service Region
This tutorial requires several AWS services work in the same region. Before we create anything in AWS, please check the following link
https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/
Choose a region which has the following services available: EC2, EFS, VPS, CloudFormation, KMS, VPC, S3.
In this tutorial, we use "Oregon(us-west-2)" as example.

We can download `kube-aws` from its [release page](https://github.com/coreos/kube-aws/releases). In this tutorial, we use version 0.9.1
99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108

Validate the tarball's GPG signature:

```
PLATFORM=linux-amd64
 # Or
PLATFORM=darwin-amd64

gpg2 --verify kube-aws-${PLATFORM}.tar.gz.sig kube-aws-${PLATFORM}.tar.gz
```
109
##### Install kube-aws
110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122
Extract the binary:

```
tar zxvf kube-aws-${PLATFORM}.tar.gz
```

Add kube-aws to your path:

```
mv ${PLATFORM}/kube-aws /usr/local/bin
```


123 124 125
#### kubectl

[kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/kubectl-overview/) is a command line interface for running commands against Kubernetes clusters.
126

127
Download `kubectl` from the Kubernetes release artifact site with the `curl` tool.
128 129

```
130 131 132 133 134
# OS X
curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/"$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)"/bin/darwin/amd64/kubectl

# Linux
curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/"$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)"/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
135 136
```

137 138 139 140 141 142
Make the kubectl binary executable and move it to your PATH (e.g. `/usr/local/bin`):

```
chmod +x ./kubectl
sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
```
143

146
First check out [this](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/installing.html) for installing the AWS command line interface.
Z
zhouti 已提交
147 148

And then configure your AWS account information:
149 150 151 152

```
aws configure
```
Z
zhouti 已提交
153 154


155
Fill in the required fields:
Z
zhouti 已提交
156

157 158 159 160

```
AWS Access Key ID: YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS Secrete Access Key: YOUR_SECRETE_ACCESS_KEY
161
Default region name: us-west-2
162 163 164
Default output format: json
```

165 166
`YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, and `YOUR_SECRETE_ACCESS_KEY` is the IAM key and secret from [Create AWS Account and IAM Account](#create-aws-account-and-iam-account)

167
Verify that your credentials work by describing any instances you may already have running on your account:
Z
zhouti 已提交
168

169 170 171 172
```
aws ec2 describe-instances
```

173
### Define Cluster Parameters
174

175
#### EC2 key pair
176 177 178

The keypair that will authenticate SSH access to your EC2 instances. The public half of this key pair will be configured on each CoreOS node.

179
Follow [EC2 Keypair User Guide](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-key-pairs.html) to create a EC2 key pair
180

181 182
After creating a key pair, you will use the key pair name to configure the cluster.

183 184 185 186
Key pairs are only available to EC2 instances in the same region. We are using us-west-2 in our tutorial, so make sure to creat key pairs in that region (Oregon).

Your browser will download a `key-name.pem` file which is the key to access the EC2 instances. We will use it later.

187 188

#### KMS key
Z
zhouti 已提交
189

190
Amazon KMS keys are used to encrypt and decrypt cluster TLS assets. If you already have a KMS Key that you would like to use, you can skip creating a new key and provide the Arn string for your existing key.
191

192
You can create a KMS key with the aws command line tool:
193

194
```
195
aws kms --region=us-west-2 create-key --description="kube-aws assets"
196 197 198 199
{
    "KeyMetadata": {
        "CreationDate": 1458235139.724,
        "KeyState": "Enabled",
200
        "Arn": "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:aaaaaaaaaaaaa:key/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209
        "AWSAccountId": "xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
        "Enabled": true,
        "KeyUsage": "ENCRYPT_DECRYPT",
        "KeyId": "xxxxxxxxx",
        "Description": "kube-aws assets"
    }
}
```

210
We will need to use the value of `Arn` later.
211

212
And then let's add several inline policies in your IAM user permission.
213

214
Go to [IAM Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home?region=us-west-2#/home). Click on button `Users`, click user that we just created, and then click on `Add inline policy` button, and select `Custom Policy`.
215

216
Paste into following inline policies:
217 218

```
219
 (Caution: node_0, node_1, node_2 directories represents PaddlePaddle node and train_id, not the Kubernetes node){
220 221 222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229

                "cloudformation:DescribeStacks",
                "cloudformation:DescribeStackResource",
242 243
                "cloudformation:GetTemplate",
                "cloudformation:DescribeStackEvents"

                "arn:aws:cloudformation:us-west-2:AWS_ACCOUNT_ID:stack/MY_CLUSTER_NAME/*"
247 248 249 250 251
            ]
        }
    ]
}
```
252
`Version` : Its value has to be exactly "2012-10-17".
253 254 255 256 257 258
`AWS_ACCOUNT_ID`: You can get it from following command line:

```
aws sts get-caller-identity --output text --query Account
```

259 260
`MY_CLUSTER_NAME`: Pick a MY_CLUSTER_NAME that you like, you will use it later as well. 
Please note, stack name must satisfy regular expression pattern: [a-zA-Z][-a-zA-Z0-9*]*, which means no "_" or "-" in stack name, or kube-aws will throw error in later steps.
261

262
#### External DNS name
263

264 265
When the cluster is created, the controller will expose the TLS-secured API on a DNS name.

266
DNS name should have a CNAME points to cluster DNS name or an A record points to the cluster IP address.
267

X
xichen 已提交
268
We will need to use DNS name later in tutorial. If you don't already own one, you can choose any DNS name (e.g., `paddle`) and modify `/etc/hosts` to associate cluster IP with that DNS name for your local machine. And add name service (route53) in aws to associate the IP to paddle for cluster. We will find the cluster IP in later steps.
269

270
#### S3 bucket
271 272

You need to create an S3 bucket before startup the Kubernetes cluster.
273

274
There are some bugs in aws cli in creating S3 bucket, so let's use the [S3 Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/home?region=us-west-2).
275

276
Click on `Create Bucket`, fill in a unique BUCKET_NAME, and make sure region is us-west-2 (Oregon).
277 278


279
#### Initialize Assets
Z
zhouti 已提交
280

281 282 283 284 285 286 287 288 289 290
Create a directory on your local machine to hold the generated assets:

```
$ mkdir my-cluster
$ cd my-cluster
```

Initialize the cluster CloudFormation stack with the KMS Arn, key pair name, and DNS name from the previous step:

```
291 292 293
kube-aws init \
--cluster-name=MY_CLUSTER_NAME \
--external-dns-name=MY_EXTERNAL_DNS_NAME \
294 295
--region=us-west-2 \
--availability-zone=us-west-2a \
296
--key-name=KEY_PAIR_NAME \
297
--kms-key-arn="arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:xxxxxxxxxx:key/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
298 299
```

300 301 302
`MY_CLUSTER_NAME`: the one you picked in [KMS key](#kms-key)

`MY_EXTERNAL_DNS_NAME`: see [External DNS name](#external-dns-name)
303

304 305 306 307
`KEY_PAIR_NAME`: see [EC2 key pair](#ec2-key-pair)

`--kms-key-arn`: the "Arn" in [KMS key](#kms-key)

308
Here `us-west-2a` is used for parameter `--availability-zone`, but supported availability zone varies among AWS accounts.
309

310
Please check if `us-west-2a` is supported by `aws ec2 --region us-west-2 describe-availability-zones`, if not switch to other supported availability zone. (e.g., `us-west-2a`, or `us-west-2b`)
311

312

313 314
There will now be a cluster.yaml file in the asset directory. This is the main configuration file for your cluster.

315 316
By default `kube-aws` will only create one worker node. Let's edit `cluster.yaml` and change `workerCount` from 1 to 3.

317

318
#### Render contents of the asset directory
319 320 321 322

In the simplest case, you can have kube-aws generate both your TLS identities and certificate authority for you.

```
323
kube-aws render credentials --generate-ca
324 325 326 327 328
```

The next command generates the default set of cluster assets in your asset directory.

```
329
kube-aws render stack
330
```
331
Assets (templates and credentials) that are used to create, update and interact with your Kubernetes cluster will be created under your current folder.
332 333


334
### Kubernetes Cluster Start Up
335

336
#### Create the instances defined in the CloudFormation template
337

338
Now let's create your cluster (choose any `PREFIX` for the command below):
339 340

```
341
kube-aws up --s3-uri s3://BUCKET_NAME/PREFIX
342 343
```

344 345 346
`BUCKET_NAME`: the bucket name that you used in [S3 bucket](#s3-bucket)


347
#### Configure DNS
348

349 350 351 352 353
You can invoke `kube-aws status` to get the cluster API endpoint after cluster creation.

```
$ kube-aws status
Cluster Name:		paddle-cluster
354
Controller DNS Name:	paddle-cl-ElbAPISe-EEOI3EZPR86C-531251350.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com
355 356
```

357 358 359 360
If you own a DNS name, set the A record to any of the above ip. __Or__ you can set up CNAME point to `Controller DNS Name` (`paddle-cl-ElbAPISe-EEOI3EZPR86C-531251350.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com`)

##### Find IP address

361 362 363
Use command `dig` to check the load balancer hostname to get the ip address.

```
364
$ dig paddle-cl-ElbAPISe-EEOI3EZPR86C-531251350.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com
365 366

;; QUESTION SECTION:
367
;paddle-cl-ElbAPISe-EEOI3EZPR86C-531251350.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com. IN A
368 369

;; ANSWER SECTION:
370 371
paddle-cl-ElbAPISe-EEOI3EZPR86C-531251350.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com. 59 IN A 54.241.164.52
paddle-cl-ElbAPISe-EEOI3EZPR86C-531251350.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com. 59 IN A 54.67.102.112
372 373 374 375
```

In the above output, both ip `54.241.164.52`, `54.67.102.112` will work.

376 377 378 379 380 381
*If you own a DNS name*, set the A record to any of the above ip. Then you can skip to the step "Access the cluster".

*If you do not own a DNS name*:

### Setup Elastic File System for Cluster
414

415
Training data is usually served on a distributed filesystem, we use Elastic File System (EFS) on AWS.
416

417 418 419 420 421
1. Create security group for EFS in [security group console](https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-west-2#SecurityGroups:sort=groupId)
  1. Look up security group id for `paddle-cluster-sg-worker` (`sg-055ee37d` in the image below)
  <center>![](src/worker_security_group.png)</center>
  2. Add security group `paddle-efs` with `ALL TCP` inbound rule and custom source as group id of `paddle-cluster-sg-worker`. And VPC of `paddle-cluster-vpc`. Make sure availability zone is same as the one you used in [Initialize Assets](#initialize-assets).
  <center>![](src/add_security_group.png)</center>
422

423
2. Create the Elastic File System in [EFS console](https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/efs/home?region=us-west-2#/wizard/1) with `paddle-cluster-vpc` VPC. Make sure subnet is `paddle-cluster-Subnet0` andd security group is `paddle-efs`.

### Start PaddlePaddle Training Demo on AWS
428

429
#### Configure Kubernetes Volume that Points to EFS
430

431
First we need to create a [PersistentVolume](https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/persistent-volumes/) to provision EFS volumn.
432

433
Save following snippet as `pv.yaml`
434
```
435 436 437 438 439 440 441 442 443 444 445 446
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: efsvol
spec:
  capacity:
    storage: 100Gi
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  nfs:
    server: EFS_DNS_NAME
    path: "/"
447 448
```

449
`EFS_DNS_NAME`: DNS name as shown in description of `paddle-efs` that we created. Looks similar to `fs-2cbf7385.efs.us-west-2.amazonaws.com`
450

451
Run following command to create a persistent volumn:
452
```
453
kubectl --kubeconfig=kubeconfig create -f pv.yaml
454 455
```

456
Next let's create a [PersistentVolumeClaim](https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/persistent-volumes/) to claim the persistent volume.
457

458
Save following snippet as `pvc.yaml`.

#### Prepare Training Data
478

479
We will now launch a kubernetes job that downloads, saves and evenly splits training data into 3 shards on the persistent volumn that we just created.
480

481
save following snippet as `paddle-data-job.yaml`
482

```

588
`parallelism: 3, completions: 3` means this job will simultaneously start 3 PaddlePaddle pods, and this job will be finished when there are 3 finished pods.
589

590
`env` field represents container's environment variables, we specify PaddlePaddle parameters by environment variables.
591

592
`ports` indicates that TCP port 7164 - 7167 are exposed for communication between `pserver` ans trainer. port starts continously from `CONF_PADDLE_PORT` (7164) to `CONF_PADDLE_PORT + CONF_PADDLE_PORTS_NUM + CONF_PADDLE_PORTS_NUM_SPARSE - 1` (7167). We use multiple ports for dense and sparse paramter updates to improve latency.
593

594 595 596 597
Run following command to launch the job.
```
kubectl --kubeconfig=kubeconfig create -f paddle-claster-job.yaml
```
598

599
Inspect individual pods
600

601 602 603 604 605 606 607
```
$ kubectl --kubeconfig=kubeconfig get pods

paddle-cluster-job-jx4xr   1/1       Running   0          9m
```
608

609
Inspect individual console output
610
```
611
kubectl --kubeconfig=kubeconfig log -f POD_NAME
612 613
```

614
`POD_NAME`: name of any pod (e.g., `paddle-cluster-job-cm469`).
615

616
Run `kubectl --kubeconfig=kubeconfig describe job paddle-cluster-job` to check training job status. It will complete in around 20 minutes.

The details for start `pserver` and `trainer` are hidden inside docker image `paddledev/paddle-tutorial:k8s_train`, see [here](src/k8s_train/README.md) for how to build the docker image and source code.
619

620
#### Inspect Training Output
621

622
Training output (model snapshot and logs) will be saved in EFS. We can ssh into worker EC2 instance, mount EFS and check training output.
623

624
1. ssh Into Worker EC2 instance
625
```
626 627
chmod 400 key-name.pem
ssh -i key-name.pem core@INSTANCE_IP
628 629
```

630
`INSTANCE_IP`: public IP address of EC2 kubernetes worker node. Go to [EC2 console](https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-west-2#Instances:sort=instanceId) and check `public IP` of any `paddle-cluster-kube-aws-worker` instance.
631

632
2. Mount EFS
633
```
634 635
mkdir efs
sudo mount -t nfs4 -o nfsvers=4.1,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,hard,timeo=600,retrans=2 EFS_DNS_NAME:/ efs
636 637
```

638
`EFS_DNS_NAME`: DNS name as shown in description of `paddle-efs` that we created. Look similar to `fs-2cbf7385.efs.us-west-2.amazonaws.com`.
639

640 641 642 643 644 645 646 647 648 649 650 651 652 653 654 655 656 657 658 659 660 661 662
Now folder `efs` will have structure similar to:
```
-- paddle-cluster-job
    |-- ...
    |-- output
    |   |-- node_0
    |   |   |-- server.log
    |   |   `-- train.log
    |   |-- node_1
    |   |   |-- server.log
    |   |   `-- train.log
    |   |-- node_2
    |   |   |-- server.log
    |   |   `-- train.log
    |   |-- pass-00000
    |   |   |-- ___fc_layer_0__.w0
    |   |   |-- ___fc_layer_0__.wbias
    |   |   |-- done
    |   |   |-- path.txt
    |   |   `-- trainer_config.lr.py
	|   |-- pass-00001...
```
`server.log` contains log for `pserver`. `train.log` contains log for `trainer`. Model description and snapshot is stored in `pass-0000*`.

### Kubernetes Cluster Tear Down
665

666 667 668 669 670 671 672
#### Delete EFS

Go to [EFS Console](https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/efs/home?region=us-west-2) and delete the EFS volumn that we created.

#### Delete security group

Go to [Security Group Console](https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-west-2#SecurityGroups:sort=groupId) and delete security group `paddle-efs`.
673

674 675 676 677 678 679

#### Delete S3 Bucket

Go to [S3 Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/home?region=us-west-2#) and delete the S3 bucket that we created.

#### Destroy Cluster
680

681
```
682
kube-aws destroy
683
```
684

685 686 687
The command will return immediately, but it might take 5 min to tear down the whole cluster.

You can go to [CludFormation Console](https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/home?region=us-west-2#/stacks?filter=active) to check destroy process.
