gcloud alpha ai custom-jobs create - create a new custom job
gcloud alpha ai custom-jobs create --display-name=DISPLAY_NAME (--config=CONFIG --worker-pool-spec=[WORKER_POOL_SPEC,...]) [--args=[ARG,...]] [--command=[COMMAND,...]] [--enable-dashboard-access] [--enable-web-access] [--labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]] [--network=NETWORK] [--python-package-uris=[PYTHON_PACKAGE_URIS,...]] [--region=REGION] [--service-account=SERVICE_ACCOUNT] [--kms-key=KMS_KEY : --kms-keyring=KMS_KEYRING --kms-location=KMS_LOCATION --kms-project=KMS_PROJECT] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(ALPHA) This command will attempt to run the custom job immediately upon creation.
To create a job under project example in region us-central1, run:
$ gcloud alpha ai custom-jobs create --region=us-central1 \ --project=example \ --worker-pool-spec=replica-count=1,machine-type='n1-highmem-2',\ container-image-uri='gcr.io/ucaip-test/ucaip-training-test' \ --display-name=test
- --display-name=DISPLAY_NAME
Display name of the custom job to create.
- Worker pool specification.
At least one of these must be specified:
- --config=CONFIG
Path to the job configuration file. This file should be a YAML document containing a `CustomJobSpec` https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/reference/rest/v1/CustomJobSpec. If an option is specified both in the configuration file **and** via command-line arguments, the command-line arguments override the configuration file. Note that keys with underscore are invalid.
Example(YAML):
workerPoolSpecs: machineSpec: machineType: n1-highmem-2 replicaCount: 1 containerSpec: imageUri: gcr.io/ucaip-test/ucaip-training-test args: - port=8500 command: - start
- --worker-pool-spec=[WORKER_POOL_SPEC,...]
Define the worker pool configuration used by the custom job. You can specify multiple worker pool specs in order to create a custom job with multiple worker pools.
The spec can contain the following fields:
- machine-type
(Required): The type of the machine. see https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/training/configure-compute#machine-types for supported types. This is corresponding to the machineSpec.machineType field in WorkerPoolSpec API message.
- replica-count
The number of worker replicas to use for this worker pool, by default the value is 1. This is corresponding to the replicaCount field in WorkerPoolSpec API message.
- accelerator-type
The type of GPUs. see https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/training/configure-compute#specifying_gpus for more requirements. This is corresponding to the machineSpec.acceleratorType field in WorkerPoolSpec API message.
- accelerator-count
The number of GPUs for each VM in the worker pool to use, by default the value if 1. This is corresponding to the machineSpec.acceleratorCount field in WorkerPoolSpec API message.
- container-image-uri
The URI of a container image to be directly run on each worker replica. This is corresponding to the containerSpec.imageUri field in WorkerPoolSpec API message.
- executor-image-uri
The URI of a container image that will run the provided package.
- output-image-uri
The URI of a custom container image to be built for autopackaged custom jobs.
- python-module
The Python module name to run within the provided package.
- local-package-path
The local path of a folder that contains training code.
- script
The relative path under the local-package-path to a file to execute. It can be a Python file or an arbitrary bash script.
- requirements
Python dependencies to be installed from PyPI, separated by ";". This is supposed to be used when some public packages are required by your training application but not in the base images. It has the same effect as editing a "requirements.txt" file under local-package-path.
- extra-packages
Relative paths of local Python archives to be installed, separated by ";". This is supposed to be used when some custom packages are required by your training application but not in the base images. Every path should be relative to the local-package-path.
- extra-dirs
Relative paths of the folders under local-package-path to be copied into the container, separated by ";". If not specified, only the parent directory that contains the main executable (script or python-module) will be copied.
Note that some of these fields are used for different job creation methods and are categorized as mutually exclusive groups listed below. Exactly one of these groups of fields must be specified:
- container-image-uri
Specify this field to use a custom container image for training. Together with the --command and --args flags, this field represents a `WorkerPoolSpec.ContainerSpec` https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/reference/rest/v1/CustomJobSpec?#containerspec message. In this case, the --python-package-uris flag is disallowed.
Example: --worker-pool-spec=replica-count=1,machine-type=n1-highmem-2,container-image-uri=gcr.io/ucaip-test/ucaip-training-test
- executor-image-uri, python-module
Specify these fields to train using a pre-built container and Python packages that are already in Cloud Storage. Together with the --python-package-uris and --args flags, these fields represent a `WorkerPoolSpec.PythonPackageSpec` https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/reference/rest/v1/CustomJobSpec#pythonpackagespec message .
Example: --worker-pool-spec=machine-type=e2-standard-4,executor-image-uri=us-docker.pkg.dev/vertex-ai/training/tf-cpu.2-4:latest,python-module=trainer.task
- output-image-uri
Specify this field to push the output custom container training image to a specific path in Container Registry or Artifact Registry for an autopackaged custom job.
Example: --worker-pool-spec=machine-type=e2-standard-4,executor-image-uri=us-docker.pkg.dev/vertex-ai/training/tf-cpu.2-4:latest,output-image-uri='eu.gcr.io/projectName/imageName',python-module=trainer.task
- local-package-path, executor-image-uri, output-image-uri, python-module|script
Specify these fields, optionally with requirements, extra-packages, or extra-dirs, to train using a pre-built container and Python code from a local path. In this case, the --python-package-uris flag is disallowed.
Example using python-module: --worker-pool-spec=machine-type=e2-standard-4,replica-count=1,executor-image-uri=us-docker.pkg.dev/vertex-ai/training/tf-cpu.2-4:latest,python-module=trainer.task,local-package-path=/usr/page/application
Example using script: --worker-pool-spec=machine-type=e2-standard-4,replica-count=1,executor-image-uri=us-docker.pkg.dev/vertex-ai/training/tf-cpu.2-4:latest,script=my_run.sh,local-package-path=/usr/jeff/application
- --args=[ARG,...]

- --command=[COMMAND,...]
Command to be invoked when containers are started. It overrides the entrypoint instruction in Dockerfile when provided.
- --enable-dashboard-access
Whether you want Vertex AI to enable dashboard built on the training containers. If set to true, you can access the dashboard at the URIs given by CustomJob.web_access_uris or Trial.web_access_uris (within HyperparameterTuningJob.trials).
- --enable-web-access
Whether you want Vertex AI to enable interactive shell access https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/training/monitor-debug-interactive-shell to training containers. If set to true, you can access interactive shells at the URIs given by CustomJob.web_access_uris or Trial.web_access_uris (within HyperparameterTuningJob.trials).
- --labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]
List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.
Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers. Values must contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers.

- --python-package-uris=[PYTHON_PACKAGE_URIS,...]
The common Python package URIs to be used for training with a pre-built container image. e.g. --python-package-uri=path1,path2 If you are using multiple worker pools and want to specify a different Python packag fo reach pool, use --config instead.
