How to Use the YellowDog Platform - User Videos - YellowDog

Getting Started

In this video learn how to:

Create a keyring to store your credentials
Create an image and add an image ID
Create a source and attach it to a compute template

How to Send a Workload to the YellowDog Platform

In this video learn how to:

Provision compute using a template within Compute Requirements
Set up an image path
Set up task dependencies within Work Requirements
View logs and usage

How to Configure Compute Sources Within the YellowDog Platform

In this video learn how you can configure compute sources in two different ways:

Specifically define the exact instance type you want to bring up, with the associated namespace.
Loosely set up a region source without specifying the instance types.

An Introduction to Compute Templates in the YellowDog Platform

In this video learn about the different compute provisioning strategies:

Single source
Split source
Waterfall

How the YellowDog Scheduler Service Works

In this video learn how tasks can:

Have priorities to dictate which one runs first
Be interjected into the Work Requirement while its running
Be removed and priorities can be changed
Have dependencies on other tasks and on data

How to Provision Compute in the YellowDog Platform Using Templates

In this video learn how to:

Select a provisioning template
Select the number of resources to provision
Maintain instance count

The Difference Between Static and Dynamic Provisioning Templates

In this video learn how you can build:

Static templates: where you explicitly state the instance type(s) and region(s) you want to use.
Dynamic templates: where you give your constraints and preferences, and allow our Best Source of Compute algorithms to identify the machines that most closely match your requirements.

How to Provision Compute Using a Waterfall Strategy in the YellowDog Platform

In this video learn how to:

Set limits on specific machines
Add more instances to a running Compute Requirement

How to Use the Waterfall Strategy When Compute Allowances Are Exhausted

In this video learn how:

The waterfall strategy can solve availability issues
Allowances can restrict the usage of certain machines

How Workers Execute Tasks Within Our Scheduler Service

In this video learn how:

Init data is used to get a worker to complete a task
To view logs to see what a worker is doing

Workers and Worker Pools

In this video learn more about:

Workers in the YellowDog Platform
Configured and Provisioned worker pools

How to Use the Image Service in the YellowDog Platform

In this video learn how:

Users can specify paths to images they hold in their cloud providers
The Compute Service will use the path to automatically select the right image

How to View Usage in the YellowDog Platform

In this video learn how to:

Apply filters to narrow your results
View usage within a specified date range
View the total amount of time spent by each source

Introducing the YellowDog Logs Service

In this video learn how to:

View logs within a certain timeframe
Apply filters to narrow your results

How to Use Credentials in the YellowDog Platform

In this video learn how we store credentials:

Using keyrings
With military-grade encryption AES-256
