Deploying on Kubernetes
=======================
.. note::
The easiest way to run a Ray cluster is by using the built-in autoscaler,
which has support for running on top of Kubernetes. Please see the `autoscaler
documentation <autoscaling.html>`__ for details.
.. warning::
These instructions have not been tested extensively. If you have a suggestion
for how to improve them, please open a pull request or email
ray-dev@googlegroups.com.
Running Ray on Kubernetes is still a work in progress. If you have a
suggestion for how to improve them or want to request a missing feature,
please get in touch using one of the channels in the
`Questions or Issues?`_ section below.
You can run Ray on top of Kubernetes. This document assumes that you have access
to a Kubernetes cluster and have ``kubectl`` installed locally.
This document assumes that you have access to a Kubernetes cluster and have
``kubectl`` installed locally and configured to access the cluster. It will
first walk you through how to deploy a Ray cluster on your existing Kubernetes
cluster, then explore a few different ways to run programs on the Ray cluster.
Start by cloning the Ray repository.
The configuration ``yaml`` files here are provided as examples to get you
started. At a minimum you will probably want to build and use your own
container images, add more worker nodes to the cluster (or use the
`Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler`_), and change the resource requests for
the head and worker nodes. Refer to the provided ``yaml`` files to be sure that
you maintain important configuration options for Ray to function properly.
Creating a Ray Namespace
------------------------
First, create a `Kubernetes Namespace`_ for Ray resources on your cluster. The
following commands will create resources under this Namespace, so if you want
to use a different one than ``ray``, please be sure to also change the
`namespace` fields in the provided ``yaml`` files and anytime you see a ``-n``
flag passed to ``kubectl``.
.. code-block:: shell
git clone https://github.com/ray-project/ray.git
$ kubectl create -f ray/doc/kubernetes/ray-namespace.yaml
Work Interactively on the Cluster
---------------------------------
Starting a Ray Cluster
----------------------
To work interactively, first start Ray on Kubernetes.
A Ray cluster consists of a single head node and a set of worker nodes (the
provided ``ray-cluster.yaml`` file will start 3 worker nodes). In the example
Kubernetes configuration, this is implemented as:
- A ``ray-head`` `Kubernetes Service`_ that enables the worker nodes to discover the location of the head node on start up.
- A ``ray-head`` `Kubernetes Deployment`_ that backs the ``ray-head`` Service with a single head node pod (replica).
- A ``ray-worker`` `Kubernetes Deployment`_ with multiple worker node pods (replicas) that connect to the ``ray-head`` pod using the ``ray-head`` Service.
Note that because the head and worker nodes are Deployments, Kubernetes will
automatically restart pods that crash to maintain the correct number of
replicas.
- If a worker node goes down, a replacement pod will be started and joined to the cluster.
- If the head node goes down, it will be restarted. This will start a new Ray cluster. Worker nodes that were connected to the old head node will crash and be restarted, connecting to the new head node when they come back up.
Try deploying a cluster with the provided Kubernetes config by running the
following command:
.. code-block:: shell
kubectl create -f ray/kubernetes/head.yaml
kubectl create -f ray/kubernetes/worker.yaml
$ kubectl apply -f ray/doc/kubernetes/ray-cluster.yaml
This will start one head pod and 3 worker pods. You can check that the pods are
running by running ``kubectl get pods -n ray``.
You should see something like the following (you will have to wait a couple
minutes for the pods to enter the "Running" state).
Verify that the pods are running by running ``kubectl get pods -n ray``. You
may have to wait up to a few minutes for the pods to enter the 'Running'
state on the first run.
.. code-block:: shell
$ kubectl get pods -n ray
$ kubectl -n ray get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
ray-head-5455bb66c9-6bxvz 1/1 Running 0 10s
ray-worker-5c49b7cc57-c6xs8 1/1 Running 0 5s
ray-worker-5c49b7cc57-d9m86 1/1 Running 0 5s
ray-worker-5c49b7cc57-kzk4s 1/1 Running 0 5s
To run tasks interactively on the cluster, connect to one of the pods, e.g.,
.. note::
You might see a nonzero number of RESTARTS for the worker pods. That can
happen when the worker pods start up before the head pod and the workers
aren't able to connect. This shouldn't affect the behavior of the cluster.
To change the number of worker nodes in the cluster, change the ``replicas``
field in the worker deployment configuration in that file and then re-apply
the config as follows:
.. code-block:: shell
kubectl exec -it -n ray ray-head-5455bb66c9-6bxvz -- bash
# Edit 'ray/doc/kubernetes/ray-cluster.yaml' and change the 'replicas'
# field under the ray-worker deployment to, e.g., 4.
Start an IPython interpreter, e.g., ``ipython``
# Re-apply the new configuration to the running deployment.
$ kubectl apply -f ray/doc/kubernetes/ray-cluster.yaml
service/ray-head unchanged
deployment.apps/ray-head unchanged
deployment.apps/ray-worker configured
# Verify that there are now the correct number of worker pods running.
$ kubectl -n ray get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
ray-head-5455bb66c9-6bxvz 1/1 Running 0 30s
ray-worker-5c49b7cc57-c6xs8 1/1 Running 0 25s
ray-worker-5c49b7cc57-d9m86 1/1 Running 0 25s
ray-worker-5c49b7cc57-kzk4s 1/1 Running 0 25s
ray-worker-5c49b7cc57-zzfg2 1/1 Running 0 0s
To validate that the restart behavior is working properly, try killing pods
and checking that they are restarted by Kubernetes:
.. code-block:: shell
# Delete a worker pod.
$ kubectl -n ray delete ray-worker-5c49b7cc57-c6xs8
pod "ray-worker-5c49b7cc57-c6xs8" deleted
# Check that a new worker pod was started (this may take a few seconds).
$ kubectl -n ray get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
ray-head-5455bb66c9-6bxvz 1/1 Running 0 45s
ray-worker-5c49b7cc57-d9m86 1/1 Running 0 40s
ray-worker-5c49b7cc57-kzk4s 1/1 Running 0 40s
ray-worker-5c49b7cc57-ypq8x 1/1 Running 0 0s
# Delete the head pod.
$ kubectl -n ray delete ray-head-5455bb66c9-6bxvz
pod "ray-head-5455bb66c9-6bxvz" deleted
# Check that a new head pod was started and the worker pods were restarted.
$ kubectl -n ray get pods

ray-worker-5c49b7cc57-kzk4s 1/1 Running 1 50s
ray-worker-5c49b7cc57-ypq8x 1/1 Running 1 10s
# You can even try deleting all of the pods in the Ray namespace and checking
# that Kubernetes brings the right number back up.
$ kubectl -n ray delete pods --all
$ kubectl -n ray get pods

Running Ray Programs
--------------------
This section assumes that you have a running Ray cluster (if you don't, please
refer to the section above to get started) and will walk you through three
different options to run a Ray program on it:
1. Using `kubectl exec` to run a Python script.
2. Using `kubectl exec -it bash` to work interactively in a remote shell.
3. Submitting a `Kubernetes Job`_.
Running a program using 'kubectl exec'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To run an example program that tests object transfers between nodes in the
cluster, try the following commands (don't forget to replace the head pod name
- you can find it by running ``kubectl -n ray get pods``):
.. code-block:: shell
# Copy the test script onto the head node.
$ kubectl -n ray cp ray/doc/kubernetes/example.py ray-head-5455bb66c9-7l6xj:/example.py
# Run the example program on the head node.
$ kubectl -n ray exec ray-head-5455bb66c9-7l6xj -- python example.py
# You should see repeated output for 10 iterations and then 'Success!'
Running a program in a remote shell
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can also run tasks interactively on the cluster by connecting a remote
shell to one of the pods.
.. code-block:: shell
# Copy the test script onto the head node.
$ kubectl -n ray cp ray/doc/kubernetes/example.py ray-head-5455bb66c9-7l6xj:/example.py
# Get a remote shell to the head node.
$ kubectl -n ray exec -it ray-head-5455bb66c9-7l6xj -- bash
# Run the example program on the head node.
root@ray-head-6f566446c-5rdmb:/# python example.py
# You should see repeated output for 10 iterations and then 'Success!'
You can also start an IPython interpreter to work interactively:
.. code-block:: shell
# From your local machine.
$ kubectl -n ray exec -it ray-head-5455bb66c9-7l6xj -- ipython
# From a remote shell on the head node.
$ kubectl -n ray exec -it ray-head-5455bb66c9-7l6xj -- bash
root@ray-head-6f566446c-5rdmb:/# ipython
Once you have the IPython interpreter running, try running the following example
program:
.. code-block:: python
from collections import Counter
import socket
import time
import ray
# Note that if you run this script on a non-head node, then you must replace
# "localhost" with socket.gethostbyname("ray-head").
ray.init(address="localhost:6379")
ray.init(address="$RAY_HEAD_SERVICE_HOST:$RAY_HEAD_SERVICE_PORT_REDIS_PRIMARY")
@ray.remote
def f(x):
time.sleep(0.01)
return x + (ray.services.get_node_ip_address(), )
return x + (socket.gethostname(), )
# Check that objects can be transferred from each node to each other node.
%time Counter(ray.get([f.remote(f.remote(())) for _ in range(1000)]))
%time Counter(ray.get([f.remote(f.remote(())) for _ in range(100)]))
Submitting a Script to the Cluster
----------------------------------
Submitting a Job
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To submit a self-contained Ray application to your Kubernetes cluster, do the
following.
You can also submit a Ray application to run on the cluster as a `Kubernetes
Job`_. The Job will run a single pod running the Ray driver program to
completion, then terminate the pod but allow you to access the logs.
To submit a Job that downloads and executes an `example program`_ that tests
object transfers between nodes in the cluster, run the following command:
.. code-block:: shell
kubectl create -f ray/kubernetes/submit.yaml
$ kubectl create -f ray/doc/kubernetes/ray-job.yaml
job.batch/ray-test-job-kw5gn created
One of the pods will download and run `this example script`_.
.. _`example program`: https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/master/doc/kubernetes/example.py
.. _`this example script`: https://github.com/ray-project/ray/tree/master/doc/kubernetes/example.py
The script prints its output. To view the output, first find the pod name by
running ``kubectl get all``. You'll see output like the following.
To view the output of the Job, first find the name of the pod that ran it,
then fetch its logs:
.. code-block:: shell
$ kubectl get all -n ray

To delete a running Ray cluster, you can run the following command:
.. code-block:: shell
kubectl delete -n ray service/ray-head \
deployment.apps/ray-head \
deployment.apps/ray-worker
kubectl delete -f ray/doc/kubernetes/ray-cluster.yaml
Questions or Issues?
--------------------
Customization
-------------
You can post questions or issues or feedback through the following channels:
You will probably need to do some amount of customization.
1. `ray-dev@googlegroups.com`_: For discussions about development or any general
questions and feedback.
2. `StackOverflow`_: For questions about how to use Ray.
3. `GitHub Issues`_: For bug reports and feature requests.
1. The example above uses the Docker image ``rayproject/examples``, which is
built using `these Dockerfiles`_. You will most likely need to use your own
Docker image.
2. You will need to modify the ``command`` and ``args`` fields to potentially
install and run the script of your choice.
3. You will need to customize the resource requests.
