Building Dynamo (dynamo build)#

This guide explains how to use the dynamo build command to containerize Dynamo inference graphs (pipelines) for deployment.

dynamo build is a command-line tool that helps containerize inference graphs created with Dynamo SDK. Run dynamo build --containerize to build a stand-alone Docker container that encapsulates your entire inference graph. The generated container-image can then be shared and/or run standalone.

[!Caution] This experimental feature is tested on the examples in the examples/ directory. You need to make some modifications. Pay particular attention if your inference graph introduces custom dependencies.

Building a containerized inference graph#

The basic workflow for using dynamo build includes:

  1. Defining your inference graph and testing locally with dynamo serve.

  2. Specifying a base image for your inference graph. More on this below.

  3. Running dynamo build to build a containerized inference graph.

Basic Usage#

dynamo build <graph_definition> --containerize
