<p>The user can submit a distributed training job with Python code, rather than with a command-line interface.</p>

<span id="runtime-environment-on-kubernetes"></span><h2>Runtime Environment On Kubernetes<a class="headerlink" href="#runtime-environment-on-kubernetes" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>For a distributed training job, there is two Docker image called <em>runtime Docker image</em> and <em>base Docker image</em>. The runtime Docker image is the Docker image that gets scheduled by Kubernetes to run during training. The base Docker image is for building the runtime Docker image.</p>
<div class="section" id="base-docker-image">
<span id="base-docker-image"></span><h3>Base Docker Image<a class="headerlink" href="#base-docker-image" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>Usually, the base Docker image is PaddlePaddle product Docker image including paddle binary files and python package. And of course, users can specify any image name hosted on any docker registry which users have the access right.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="runtime-docker-image">
<span id="runtime-docker-image"></span><h3>Runtime Docker Image<a class="headerlink" href="#runtime-docker-image" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>The trainer package which user upload and some Python dependencies are packaged into a runtime Docker image based on base Docker image.</p>
<ul>

<p>There are some benefits for building runtime Docker image on JobServer:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>On Paddle Cloud, users will run the trainer code in a Jupyter Notebook which is a Kubernetes Pod, if we want to execute <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">docker</span> <span class="pre">build</span></code> in the Pod, we should mount the host&#8217;s <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">docker.sock</span></code> to the Pod, user&#8217;s code will connect the host&#8217;s Docker Engine directly, it&#8217;s not safe.</li>
<li>Users only need to upload the training package files, does not need to install docker engine, docker registry as dependencies.</li>
<li>If we want to change another image type, such as RKT, users do not need to care about it.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Deploy Parameter Server, Trainer and Master Processes</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">POST</span> <span class="pre">/v1/trainer/job</span></code> receives the distributed training parameters, and deploy the job as follows:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Deploy PaddlePaddle Parameter Server processes, it&#8217;s a Kubernetes ReplicaSet.</li>
<li>Deploy PaddlePaddle Trainer processes, it&#8217;s a Kubernetes Job.</li>
<li>Deploy PaddlePaddle Master processes, it&#8217;s a Kubernetes ReplicaSet.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
