APIs¶

dagster_celery_k8s.CeleryK8sRunLauncher RunLauncher[source]¶

Config Schema:

instance_config_map (dagster.StringSource)

The name of an existing Volume to mount into the pod in order to provide a ConfigMap for the Dagster instance. This Volume should contain a dagster.yaml with appropriate values for run storage, event log storage, etc.

postgres_password_secret (dagster.StringSource, optional)

The name of the Kubernetes Secret where the postgres password can be retrieved. Will be mounted and supplied as an environment variable to the Job Pod.Secret must contain the key "postgresql-password" which will be exposed in the Job environment as the environment variable DAGSTER_PG_PASSWORD.

dagster_home (dagster.StringSource, optional)

The location of DAGSTER_HOME in the Job container; this is where the dagster.yaml file will be mounted from the instance ConfigMap specified here. Defaults to /opt/dagster/dagster_home.

Default Value: ‘/opt/dagster/dagster_home’

load_incluster_config (Bool, optional)

Set this value if you are running the launcher within a k8s cluster. If True, we assume the launcher is running within the target cluster and load config using kubernetes.config.load_incluster_config. Otherwise, we will use the k8s config specified in kubeconfig_file (using kubernetes.config.load_kube_config) or fall back to the default kubeconfig.

Default Value: True

In contrast to the K8sRunLauncher, which launches dagster runs as single K8s Jobs, this run launcher is intended for use in concert with dagster_celery_k8s.celery_k8s_job_executor().

With this run launcher, execution is delegated to:

1. A run worker Kubernetes Job, which traverses the dagster run execution plan and submits steps to Celery queues for execution;

2. The step executions which are submitted to Celery queues are picked up by Celery workers, and each step execution spawns a step execution Kubernetes Job. See the implementation defined in dagster_celery_k8.executor.create_k8s_job_task().

You can configure a Dagster instance to use this RunLauncher by adding a section to your dagster.yaml like the following:

run_launcher:
  module: dagster_k8s.launcher
  class: CeleryK8sRunLauncher
  config:
    instance_config_map: "dagster-k8s-instance-config-map"
    dagster_home: "/some/path"
    postgres_password_secret: "dagster-k8s-pg-password"
    broker: "some_celery_broker_url"
    backend: "some_celery_backend_url"

Celery-based executor which launches tasks as Kubernetes Jobs.

The Celery executor exposes config settings for the underlying Celery app under the config_source key. This config corresponds to the “new lowercase settings” introduced in Celery version 4.0 and the object constructed from config will be passed to the celery.Celery constructor as its config_source argument. (See https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/configuration.html for details.)

The executor also exposes the broker, backend, and include arguments to the celery.Celery constructor.

In the most common case, you may want to modify the broker and backend (e.g., to use Redis instead of RabbitMQ). We expect that config_source will be less frequently modified, but that when op executions are especially fast or slow, or when there are different requirements around idempotence or retry, it may make sense to execute dagster jobs with variations on these settings.

To use the celery_k8s_job_executor, set it as the executor_def when defining a job:

from dagster_celery_k8s.executor import celery_k8s_job_executor

from dagster import job


@job(executor_def=celery_k8s_job_executor)
def celery_enabled_job():
    pass

Then you can configure the executor as follows:

execution:
  config:
    job_image: 'my_repo.com/image_name:latest'
    job_namespace: 'some-namespace'
    broker: 'pyamqp://guest@localhost//'  # Optional[str]: The URL of the Celery broker
    backend: 'rpc://' # Optional[str]: The URL of the Celery results backend
    include: ['my_module'] # Optional[List[str]]: Modules every worker should import
    config_source: # Dict[str, Any]: Any additional parameters to pass to the
        #...       # Celery workers. This dict will be passed as the `config_source`
        #...       # argument of celery.Celery().

Note that the YAML you provide here must align with the configuration with which the Celery workers on which you hope to run were started. If, for example, you point the executor at a different broker than the one your workers are listening to, the workers will never be able to pick up tasks for execution.

In deployments where the celery_k8s_job_executor is used all appropriate celery and dagster_celery commands must be invoked with the -A dagster_celery_k8s.app argument.
