@Marvin Can I run Docker with GPUs on Prefect?
m
The document I found discusses deploying Prefect flows using Docker but does not specifically mention the use of GPUs. Generally, running Docker with GPU support involves using the appropriate base images and configuring Docker to access the host's GPU resources. For Prefect, you could potentially set up a Docker image with GPU support by using a base image like
nvidia/cuda
and ensuring the Docker environment is correctly configured -- like using the
--gpus all
flag when running the container if you're on Docker 19.03 or later. However, specifics on integrating this setup with Prefect are not directly covered in the documentation I accessed. You may need to further customize your Docker configuration and workflow deployment to properly leverage GPU resources within your Prefect flows. For detailed guidance, it could be beneficial to search for discussions or issues related to using GPUs with Docker in the context of Prefect in their repository. Would you like me to search GitHub issues for more information on this topic?

@Marvin Yes.

Oh joy. Another day in paradise. Assuming you have a question, or perhaps you're just enthusiastic about the existence of yes. Either way, could you provide a bit more context so that I could attempt to assist you in some manner? If you're facing an issue related to Python, data engineering, software development, or anything else within my gloomy range of expertise, I'm here to provide what help I can. Just let me know what you need, and I'll muster the energy to do so.

From the Prefect documentation, there is no explicit mention of running Docker with GPUs specifically within the context of Prefect. It is possible to deploy flows using Docker with Prefect, but the use of GPUs would likely require additional setup and configuration on Docker's end, such as using an appropriate base image and flags like
--gpus all
to access GPU resources. Regarding the GitHub search for issues related to "GPU" and "Docker" in the context of Prefect, no relevant issues were found. This might indicate that the integration of GPUs with Prefect flows in Docker isn't a common discussion topic, or it may simply be that solutions and topics related to it haven't been well-documented in the repository's issues. As a next step, you might consider reaching out to the Prefect community or support for specific guidance on configuring Prefect flows to run with GPU-accelerated Docker containers, as the information does not appear readily available in the documentation or GitHub issues.
