Reproducible Data Science with Pachyderm

By: Svetlana Karslioglu

Overview of this book

Pachyderm is an open source project that enables data scientists to run reproducible data pipelines and scale them to an enterprise level. This book will teach you how to implement Pachyderm to create collaborative data science workflows and reproduce your ML experiments at scale. You’ll begin your journey by exploring the importance of data reproducibility and comparing different data science platforms. Next, you’ll explore how Pachyderm fits into the picture and its significance, followed by learning how to install Pachyderm locally on your computer or a cloud platform of your choice. You’ll then discover the architectural components and Pachyderm's main pipeline principles and concepts. The book demonstrates how to use Pachyderm components to create your first data pipeline and advances to cover common operations involving data, such as uploading data to and from Pachyderm to create more complex pipelines. Based on what you've learned, you'll develop an end-to-end ML workflow, before trying out the hyperparameter tuning technique and the different supported Pachyderm language clients. Finally, you’ll learn how to use a SaaS version of Pachyderm with Pachyderm Notebooks. By the end of this book, you will learn all aspects of running your data pipelines in Pachyderm and manage them on a day-to-day basis.

Chapter 5: Installing Pachyderm on a Cloud Platform

In the previous chapter, you learned the process for installing Pachyderm locally to get started quickly and test Pachyderm on your computer.

Production use cases require additional compute resources and scalability that can be efficiently achieved using cloud platforms and managed Kubernetes platform services provided by the popular cloud vendors. Pachyderm can run on a Kubernetes cluster, irrespective of whether it is deployed manually on cloud instances or as a managed Kubernetes service. We will discuss the most popular and easy-to-configure methods on cloud providers.

This chapter walks you through the cloud-based installation of Pachyderm and explains the software requirements needed to run a Pachyderm cluster in production. This chapter will cover the installation on the following most popular cloud platforms: Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service...
