Note

To run jobs locally using Amazon Deep Learning Containers (DLC) images, use the image URIs found in the DLC documentation. The DLC images do not support the auto_capture value for dependencies.

Jobs with SageMaker Distribution in SageMaker Studio run in a container as a non-root user named sagemaker-user. This user needs full permission to access /opt/ml and /tmp. Grant this permission by adding sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/ml /tmp to the pre_execution_commands list, as shown in the following snippet:

@remote(pre_execution_commands=["sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/ml /tmp"])
def func():
    pass

You can also run remote functions with your custom images. For compatibility with remote functions, custom images should be built with Python version 3.7.x-3.10.x. The following is a minimal Dockerfile example showing you how to use a Docker image with Python 3.10.

FROM python:3.10

#... Rest of the Dockerfile

To create conda environments in your image and use it to run jobs, set the environment variable SAGEMAKER_JOB_CONDA_ENV to the conda environment name. If your image has the SAGEMAKER_JOB_CONDA_ENV value set, the remote function cannot create a new conda environment during the training job runtime. Refer to the following Dockerfile example that uses a conda environment with Python version 3.10.

FROM continuumio/miniconda3:4.12.0  

ENV SHELL=/bin/bash \
    CONDA_DIR=/opt/conda \
    SAGEMAKER_JOB_CONDA_ENV=sagemaker-job-env

RUN conda create -n $SAGEMAKER_JOB_CONDA_ENV \
   && conda install -n $SAGEMAKER_JOB_CONDA_ENV python=3.10 -y \
   && conda clean --all -f -y \

For SageMaker to use mamba to manage your Python virtual environment in the container image, install the mamba toolkit from miniforge. To use mamba, add the following code example to your Dockerfile. Then, SageMaker will detect the mamba availability at runtime and use it instead of conda.

#Mamba Installation
RUN curl -L -O "https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Mambaforge-Linux-x86_64.sh" \
    && bash Mambaforge-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p "/opt/conda"  \
    && /opt/conda/bin/conda init bash

Using a custom conda channel on an Amazon S3 bucket is not compatible with mamba when using a remote function. If you choose to use mamba, make sure you are not using a custom conda channel on Amazon S3. For more information, see the Prerequisites section under Custom conda repository using Amazon S3.

The following is a complete Dockerfile example showing how to create a compatible Docker image.

FROM python:3.10

RUN apt-get update -y \
    # Needed for awscli to work
    # See: https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/1957#issuecomment-687455928
    && apt-get install -y groff unzip curl \
    && pip install --upgrade \
        'boto3>1.0<2' \
        'awscli>1.0<2' \
        'ipykernel>6.0.0<7.0.0' \
#Use ipykernel with --sys-prefix flag, so that the absolute path to 
    #/usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels/python3/kernel.json python is used
    # in kernelspec.json file
    && python -m ipykernel install --sys-prefix

#Install Mamba
RUN curl -L -O "https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Mambaforge-Linux-x86_64.sh" \
    && bash Mambaforge-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p "/opt/conda"  \
    && /opt/conda/bin/conda init bash

#cleanup
RUN apt-get clean \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
    && rm -rf ${HOME}/.cache/pip \
    && rm Mambaforge-Linux-x86_64.sh

ENV SHELL=/bin/bash \
    PATH=$PATH:/opt/conda/bin

The resulting image from running the previous Dockerfile example can also be used as a SageMaker Studio Classic kernel image.
