.. _ray-k8s-deploy:
Deploying on Kubernetes
=======================
Overview
--------
You can leverage your `Kubernetes`_ cluster as a substrate for execution of distributed Ray programs.
The :ref:`Ray Autoscaler<cluster-index>` spins up and deletes Kubernetes `Pods`_ according to the resource demands of the Ray workload. Each Ray node runs in its own Kubernetes Pod.
Quick Guide
-----------
This document cover the following topics:
- :ref:`Intro to the Ray Kubernetes Operator<ray-operator>`
- :ref:`Launching Ray clusters with the Ray Helm Chart<ray-helm>`
- :ref:`Monitoring Ray clusters<ray-k8s-monitor>`
- :ref:`Running Ray programs using Ray Client<ray-k8s-client>`
You can find more information at the following links:
- :ref:`Ray Operator and Helm chart configuration<k8s-advanced>`
- :ref:`GPU usage with Kubernetes<k8s-gpus>`
- :ref:`Using Ray Tune on your Kubernetes cluster<tune-kubernetes>`
- :ref:`How to manually set up a non-autoscaling Ray cluster on Kubernetes<ray-k8s-static>`
.. _ray-operator:
The Ray Kubernetes Operator
---------------------------
Deployments of Ray on Kubernetes are managed by the ``Ray Kubernetes Operator``.
The Ray Operator follows the standard Kubernetes `Operator pattern`_. The main players are
- A `Custom Resource`_ called a ``RayCluster``, which describes the desired state of the Ray cluster.
- A `Custom Controller`_, the ``Ray Operator``, which processes ``RayCluster`` resources and manages the Ray cluster.
Under the hood, the Operator uses the :ref:`Ray Autoscaler<cluster-index>` to launch and scale your Ray cluster.
The rest of this document explains how to launch a small example Ray cluster on Kubernetes.
- :ref:`Ray on Kubernetes Configuration and Advanced Usage<k8s-advanced>`.
.. _ray-helm:
Installing the Ray Operator with Helm
-------------------------------------
Ray provides a `Helm`_ chart to simplify deployment of the Ray Operator and Ray clusters.
The `Ray Helm chart`_ is available as part of the Ray GitHub repository.
The chart will be published to a public Helm repository as part of a future Ray release.
Preparation
~~~~~~~~~~~
- Configure `kubectl`_ to access your Kubernetes cluster.
- Install `Helm 3`_.
- Download the `Ray Helm chart`_.
To run the default example in this document, make sure your Kubernetes cluster can accomodate
additional resource requests of 4 CPU and 2.5Gi memory.
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can install a small Ray cluster with a single ``helm`` command.
The default cluster configuration consists of a Ray head pod and two worker pods,
with scaling allowed up to three workers.
.. code-block:: shell
# Navigate to the directory containing the chart
$ cd ray/deploy/charts
# Install a small Ray cluster with the default configuration
# in a new namespace called "ray". Let's name the Helm release "example-cluster."
$ helm -n ray install example-cluster --create-namespace ./ray
NAME: example-cluster

.. _ray-k8s-monitor:
Observability
-------------
To view autoscaling logs, run a ``kubectl logs`` command on the operator pod:
.. code-block:: shell
# The last 100 lines of logs.
$ kubectl logs \
$(kubectl get pod -l cluster.ray.io/component=operator -o custom-columns=:metadata.name) \
| tail -n 100
.. _ray-k8s-dashboard:
The :ref:`Ray dashboard<ray-dashboard>` can be accessed on the Ray head node at port ``8265``.
.. code-block:: shell
# Forward the relevant port from the service exposing the Ray head.
$ kubectl -n ray port-forward service/example-cluster-ray-head 8265:8265
# The dashboard can now be viewed in a browser at http://localhost:8265
.. _ray-k8s-client:
Running Ray programs with Ray Client
------------------------------------
:ref:`Ray Client <ray-client>` can be used to execute Ray programs
on your Ray cluster. The Ray Client server runs on the Ray head node, on port ``10001``.
.. note::
Connecting with Ray client requires using matching minor versions of Python (for example 3.7)
on the server and client end, that is, on the Ray head node and in the environment where
``ray.init("ray://<host>:<port>")`` is invoked. Note that the default ``rayproject/ray`` images use Python 3.7.
The latest offical Ray release builds are available for Python 3.6 and 3.8 at the `Ray Docker Hub <https://hub.docker.com/r/rayproject/ray>`_.
Connecting with Ray client also requires matching Ray versions. To connect from a local machine to a cluster running the examples in this document, the :ref:`latest release version<installation>` of Ray must be installed locally.
Using Ray Client to connect from outside the Kubernetes cluster
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One way to connect to the Ray cluster from outside your Kubernetes cluster
is to forward the Ray Client server port:
.. code-block:: shell
$ kubectl -n ray port-forward service/example-cluster-ray-head 10001:10001
Then open a new shell and try out a `sample Ray program`_:
.. code-block:: shell
$ python ray/doc/kubernetes/example_scripts/run_local_example.py
The program in this example uses ``ray.init("ray://127.0.0.1:10001")`` to connect to the Ray cluster.
The program waits for three Ray nodes to connect and then tests object transfer
between the nodes.
Using Ray Client to connect from within the Kubernetes cluster
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can also connect to your Ray cluster from another pod in the same Kubernetes cluster.
For example, you can submit a Ray application to run on the Kubernetes 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.
The following command submits a Job which executes an `example Ray program`_.
.. code-block:: yaml
$ kubectl -n ray create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ray-project/ray/master/doc/kubernetes/job-example.yaml
job.batch/ray-test-job created
The program executed by the job uses the name of the Ray cluster's head Service to connect:
``ray.init("ray://example-cluster-ray-head:10001")``.
The program waits for three Ray nodes to connect and then tests object transfer
between the nodes.
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 -n ray get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
example-cluster-ray-head-type-5926k 1/1 Running 0 21m
example-cluster-ray-worker-type-8gbwx 1/1 Running 0 21m
example-cluster-ray-worker-type-l6cvx 1/1 Running 0 21m
ray-test-job-dl9fv 1/1 Running 0 3s
# Fetch the logs. You should see repeated output for 10 iterations and then
# 'Success!'
$ kubectl -n ray logs ray-test-job-dl9fv
# Cleanup
$ kubectl -n ray delete job ray-test-job
job.batch "ray-test-job" deleted
.. tip::
Code dependencies for a given Ray task or actor must be installed on each Ray node that might run the task or actor.
Typically, this means that all Ray nodes need to have the same dependencies installed.
To achieve this, you can build a custom container image, using one of the `official Ray images <https://hub.docker.com/r/rayproject/ray>`_ as the base.
Alternatively, try out the experimental :ref:`Runtime Environments<runtime-environments>` API (latest Ray release version recommended.)
.. _k8s-cleanup-basic:
Cleanup
-------
To remove a Ray Helm release and the associated API resources, use `kubectl delete`_ and `helm uninstall`_.
Note the order of the commands below.
.. code-block:: shell
# First, delete the RayCluster custom resource.
$ kubectl -n ray delete raycluster example-cluster
raycluster.cluster.ray.io "example-cluster" deleted
# Delete the Ray release.
$ helm -n ray uninstall example-cluster
release "example-cluster" uninstalled
# Optionally, delete the namespace created for our Ray release.
$ kubectl delete namespace ray
namespace "ray" deleted
Note that ``helm uninstall`` `does not delete`_ the RayCluster CRD. If you wish to delete the CRD,
make sure all Ray Helm releases have been uninstalled, then run ``kubectl delete crd rayclusters.cluster.ray.io``.
