Templates
Templates are used to create workloads in your workspace, you can create a template for dev pods and batch jobs, so that you can improve your productivity by reusing the same configuration.
Create a Template
The process of creating a template is much similar to creating a workload like what we did in dev pods and batch jobs. You can specify the configuration of the template, and use placeholders to make the template more flexible.
Navigate to the Create Templates page on your workspace, where you can see a detailed form to create a template.
For a template, you need to specify a workload type, which can be one of the following:
- Dev Pods: Interactive coding with ssh, jupyter or your favorite tool.
- Batch Jobs: Run training, data processing and other batch jobs.
Configuration
Now you can follow the page instructions to fill in the configuration for you template based on the selected workload type.
Dev Pods
The configuration for dev pods is the same as create a dev pod, you can check the guide for more details.
Batch Jobs
The configuration for batch jobs is the same as create a batch job, you can check the guide for more details.
Placeholders
There are some placeholders for you to use in the configuration, which can make your template more flexible. You can use placeholders in the following fields:
{{user.email}}: Email address of the workload creator.{{user.email_username}}: Username part of the workload creator's email (before @).{% raw %} raw-content {% endraw %}: Content that skips template parsing.
Example for placeholders
Take Dev Pod template as an example, you can use the placeholder {{user.email_username}} in the Job Name or Pod Name field to make the workload name unique for each creator.
Take a dev pod template as an example, simply set Pod Name to {{user.email_username}}-dev-pod, and the workload name will be hey-dev-pod for user with hey@nvidia.com email.
Use a Template
Assume that we have created a template for dev pods, you can use the template to create a dev pod by following the steps below:
- Head to the Create Dev Pod page.
- Click on the Templates dropdown on the top right corner and select the target template.
- The form will be filled with the template configuration automatically, and you can modify the fields if needed.
