Testing new Hugging Face Deep Learning Container.

This document explains the testing strategy for releasing the new Hugging Face Deep Learning Container. AWS maintains 14 days of currency with framework releases. Besides framework releases, AWS release train is bi-weekly on Monday. Code cutoff date for any changes is the Wednesday before release-Monday.

Test Case 1: Releasing a New Version (Minor/Major) of 🤗 Transformers

Requirements: Test should run on Release Candidate for new transformers release to validate the new release is compatible with the DLCs. To run these tests you need credentials for the HF SageMaker AWS Account. You can ask @philschmid or @n1t0 to get access.

Run Tests:

Before we can run the tests we need to adjust the requirements.txt for PyTorch under /tests/sagemaker/scripts/pytorch and for TensorFlow under /tests/sagemaker/scripts/pytorch. We adjust the branch to the new RC-tag.

git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git@v4.5.0.rc0 # install main or adjust ist with vX.X.X for installing version specific-transforms

After we adjusted the requirements.txt we can run Amazon SageMaker tests with:

AWS_PROFILE=<enter-your-profile> make test-sagemaker

These tests take around 10-15 minutes to finish. Preferably make a screenshot of the successfully ran tests.

After Transformers Release:

After we have released the Release Candidate we need to create a PR at the Deep Learning Container Repository.

Creating the update PR:

  1. Update the two latest buildspec.yaml config for PyTorch and TensorFlow. The two latest buildspec.yaml are the buildspec.yaml without a version tag and the one with the highest framework version, e.g. buildspec-1-7-1.yml and not buildspec-1-6.yml.

To update the buildspec.yaml we need to adjust either the transformers_version or the datasets_version or both. Example for upgrading to transformers 4.5.0 and datasets 1.6.0.

  2. In the PR comment describe what test we ran and with which framework versions. Here you can copy the table from Current Tests. You can take a look at this PR, which information are needed.

Test Case 2: Releasing a New AWS Framework DLC

Execute Tests

Requirements:

AWS is going to release new DLCs for PyTorch and/or TensorFlow. The Tests should run on the new framework versions with current transformers release to validate the new framework release is compatible with the transformers version. To run these tests you need credentials for the HF SageMaker AWS Account. You can ask @philschmid or @n1t0 to get access. AWS will notify us with a new issue in the repository pointing to their framework upgrade PR.

Run Tests:

Before we can run the tests we need to adjust the requirements.txt for Pytorch under /tests/sagemaker/scripts/pytorch and for Tensorflow under /tests/sagemaker/scripts/pytorch. We add the new framework version to it.

torch==1.8.1 # for pytorch
tensorflow-gpu==2.5.0 # for tensorflow

After we adjusted the requirements.txt we can run Amazon SageMaker tests with.

AWS_PROFILE=<enter-your-profile> make test-sagemaker

These tests take around 10-15 minutes to finish. Preferably make a screenshot of the successfully ran tests.

After successful Tests:

After we have successfully run tests for the new framework version we need to create a PR at the Deep Learning Container Repository.

Creating the update PR:

  1. Create a new buildspec.yaml config for PyTorch and TensorFlow and rename the old buildspec.yaml to buildespec-x.x.x, where x.x.x is the base framework version, e.g. if pytorch 1.6.0 is the latest version in buildspec.yaml the file should be renamed to buildspec-yaml-1-6.yaml.

To create the new buildspec.yaml we need to adjust the version and the short_version. Example for upgrading to pytorch 1.7.1.

region: &REGION <set-$REGION-in-environment>
base_framework: &BASE_FRAMEWORK pytorch
