Previous: Install Trident.

To set up Dask with RAPIDS deployment on AKS using Helm, complete the following steps:

  1. Create a namespace for installing Dask with RAPIDS.

    kubectl create namespace rapids-dask

  2. Create a PVC to store the click-through rate dataset:

    1. Save the following YAML content to a file to create a PVC.

      kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: pvc-criteo-data
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 1000Gi
  storageClassName: azurenetappfiles

    2. Apply the YAML file to your Kubernetes cluster.

      kubectl -n rapids-dask apply -f <your yaml file>

  3. Clone the rapidsai git repository ( https://github.com/rapidsai/helm-chart).

    git clone https://github.com/rapidsai/helm-chart helm-chart

  4. Modify values.yaml and include the PVC created earlier for workers and Jupyter workspace.

    1. Go to the rapidsai directory of the repository.

      cd helm-chart/rapidsai

    2. Update the values.yaml file and mount the volume using PVC.

      dask:
  …
  worker:
    name: worker
    …
    mounts:
      volumes:
        - name: data
          persistentVolumeClaim:
            claimName: pvc-criteo-data
      volumeMounts:
        - name: data
          mountPath: /data
    …
  jupyter:
    name: jupyter
    …
    mounts:
      volumes:
        - name: data
          persistentVolumeClaim:
            claimName: pvc-criteo-data
      volumeMounts:
        - name: data
          mountPath: /data
    …

  5. Go to the repository’s home directory and deploy Dask with three worker nodes on AKS using Helm.

    cd ..
helm dep update rapidsai
helm install rapids-dask --namespace rapids-dask rapidsai
