How can I submit tf-job in armada?

[denkensk]

After I test the example in https://github.com/G-Research/armada/blob/master/example/jobs.yaml

Is there any methods to submit tf job? The object job isn't used frequently. The job of Tensorflow or Pytorch is widely used. https://github.com/kubeflow/tf-operator/blob/master/examples/v1/dist-mnist/tf_job_mnist.yaml

Hi, Armada currently does not support TF Jobs, the closest to it you can get is job with multiple podSpecs, its possible to submit jobs like this:

queue: test
jobSetId: job-set-1
jobs:
  - priority: 0
    podSpecs:
      - containers:
          ...
        resources:
          ...
      - containers:
          ...
        resources:
          ...

Armada will aim to schedule multiple pods in one of the clusters at the same time.

Adding support of custom jobs specifications like TF Jobs and other kubeflow types (https://www.kubeflow.org/docs/components/training/) is something we have considered, but have not implemented yet.

Are you planning to use Armada for specific use case?

But if I set the tf job with multiple podSpecs, How can tf-operator operate it?

Yes, But our job is mainly AI/BigData like tfjob\Pytorch\spark

I'm looking forward to this feature. Do you have a general schedule？

@jankaspar Thanks

Hi, sorry for late reply,
We don't have any schedule for the support of additional job types. But we would be happy to accept any PRs.

You are right, its not possible to use Tensor Flow operator, but you can use Tensor Flow in the multi node jobs without the operator.
