covalentawslambdaplugin 0.22.0

Covalent AWS Lambda Plugin
Covalent is a Pythonic workflow tool used to execute tasks on advanced computing hardware. This executor plugin interfaces Covalent with AWS Lambda for dispatching computational tasks.
1. Installation
To use this plugin with Covalent, install it using pip:
pip install covalent-awslambda-plugin

2. Usage Example
This is an example of how a workflow can be constructed to use the AWS Lambda executor.
In the example, we train a Support Vector Machine (SVM) and use an instance of the executor
to execute the train_svm electron. Note that we also require DepsPip which will be required to execute the electrons.
The AWSLambdaExecutor requires a container based AWS lambda function to already have been created in the user's AWS account with its Container image URI configured properly. Users can use Covalent's public Lambda executor registry i.e. public.ecr.aws/covalent/covalent-lambda-executor:stable when creating their Lambda functions.
This public ECR registry holds the base container image the lambda function can use to execute tasks from a workflow.
User's can pass in the name of their Lambda function to the constructor using the function_name argument. See our documentation for more details.
from numpy.random import permutation
from sklearn import svm, datasets
import covalent as ct

deps_pip = ct.DepsPip(
packages=["numpy==1.23.2", "scikit-learn==1.1.2"]
)

executor = ct.executor.AWSLambdaExecutor(
function_name="my-lambda-function",
s3_bucket_name="covalent-lambda-job-resources",
)

# Use executor plugin to train our SVM model.
@ct.electron(
executor=executor,
deps_pip=deps_pip
)
def train_svm(data, C, gamma):
X, y = data
clf = svm.SVC(C=C, gamma=gamma)
clf.fit(X[90:], y[90:])
return clf

@ct.electron
def load_data():
iris = datasets.load_iris()
perm = permutation(iris.target.size)
iris.data = iris.data[perm]
iris.target = iris.target[perm]
return iris.data, iris.target

@ct.electron
def score_svm(data, clf):
X_test, y_test = data
return clf.score(
X_test[:90], y_test[:90]
)

@ct.lattice
def run_experiment(C=1.0, gamma=0.7):
data = load_data()
clf = train_svm(
data=data,
C=C,
gamma=gamma
)
score = score_svm(
data=data,
clf=clf
)
return score

# Dispatch the workflow.
dispatch_id = ct.dispatch(run_experiment)(
C=1.0,
gamma=0.7
)

# Wait for our result and get result value
result = ct.get_result(dispatch_id, wait=True).result

print(result)

During the execution of the workflow, one can navigate to the UI to see the status of the workflow. Once completed, the above script should also output a value with the score of our model.
0.8666666666666667

In order for the above workflow to run successfully, one has to provision the required cloud resources as mentioned in the section Required AWS Resources.
3. Configuration
There are many configuration options that can be passed into the ct.executor.AWSLambdaExecutor class or by modifying the covalent config file under the section [executors.awslambda]
For more information about all of the possible configuration values, visit our read the docs (RTD) guide
for this plugin.
4. Required AWS Resources
In order for workflows to leverage this executor, users must ensure that all the necessary IAM permissions are properly setup and configured. This executor uses the S3 and AWS Lambda services to execute an electron, thus the required IAM roles and policies must be configured correctly. Precisely, the following resources are needed for the executor to run any dispatched electrons properly.

Resource
Config Name
Description

IAM Role
lambda_role_name
The IAM role this lambda will assume during execution of your tasks

S3 Bucket
s3_bucket_name
The name of the S3 bucket that the executor can use to store temporary files

AWS Lambda
function_name
Name of the pre-configured AWS Lambda function use to run tasks

For exact details on how the above resources can be provisioned, visit our read the docs (RTD) guide
for this plugin.
