Preparations

In preparation for this deployment, please download the configuration files provided by Syntho for this particular deployment setup. If deployment using Ray cluster manager (option 1) was selected, a Ray configuration file using the YAML format will be provided. We will go over the changes necessary to configure this configuration file correctly.

Please request access to the necessary Docker images. These images will have all the necessary software installed to run the Syntho application correctly. All of the VM instances need to log into the registry using docker login. See section Login into container registry.

The images necessary for this deployment for both Ray and the Syntho Application have the following container names:

• syntho-ray

  • This image is being used in the AI cluster nodes. We use Ray (Python) combined with our software to distribute computations of multiple workers.

• syntho-core-api

  • The Syntho Core API is responsible for the core operations of the Syntho Platform.

• syntho-frontend

  • The Syntho Frontend is a container that contains the web UI for the Syntho Platform.

• syntho-backend

  • The Syntho Backend is responsible for user management and workspace management.

Login into the container registry

On each of the VM instances, we need to login into the registry to access the Syntho docker images. Please request your credentials with the Syntho Support Team. Once the credentials have been received, the following command can be used in each VM instance to login into the registry:

docker login <registry> -u <username>

The registry, username, and password will be provided by the Syntho Support Team.
