efsync 1.0.3

A CLI/SDK which automatically uploads pip packages and directories to aws efs to be used in aws lambda

🚀 efsync - Open-Source MLOps tool for running serverless machine learning

efsync is an CLI/SDK tool, which automatically syncs files and dependencies to AWS EFS. The CLI is easy to use, you only need access to an AWS Account, an AWS EFS-filesystem up and running. I wrote an article with an complete walkthrough. you can check this one out here or simply start with the Quick Start. Efsync enables you to install dependencies with the AWS Lambda runtime directly into your EFS filesystem and use them in your AWS Lambda function. It enables you either combine this with syncing files from S3 or uploading them with SCP. You can also sync files from S3 and upload with SCP without installing Pip dependencies.

i created several examples for every usecase.

• Quick Start
• Configuration
• Usecase configurations
• Examples
• CLI
• Connect

🏃🏻‍♂️ Quick Start

Example in Google Colab.

1. Install via pip3

pip3 install efsync

2. sync your pip dependencies or files to AWS EFS

usage with the cli

efsync -cf efsync.yaml

or with python

from efsync import efsync

efsync('efsync.yaml')

⚙️ Configurations

There are 4 different ways to use efsync in your project. You can create a yaml configuration and use the SDK, you can create a python dict and use the SDK, you can create a yaml configuration and use the CLI, or you can use the CLI with parameters. Below you can find examples for each of these. I also included afterwards configuration examples for the different use cases.

Note: If you sync file with scp from local directory (e.g. model/bert) to efs (my_efs_model) efsync will sync the model to (my_efs_model/bert) that happens because scp uploads the files recursively.

Configuration with yaml file efsync.yaml

#standard configuration

ec2_key_name: efsync-asd913fjgq3 # required key name for starting the ec2 instance
clean_efs: all # Defines if the EFS should be cleaned up before. values: `'all'`,`'pip'`,`'file'` uploading
# aws profile configuration
aws_profile: efsync # aws iam profile with required permission configured in .aws/credentials
aws_region: eu-central-1 # the aws region where the efs is running

🏗 Examples

I provided several jupyter notebooks with examples. There are examples for installing pip dependencies only, installing pip dependencies and syncing files from s3 to efs, downloading only files from s3, installing pip dependencies and uploading files from local with scp and only uploading files with scp. All examples can be run in a Google Colab Notebook.

• installing pip dependencies
• installing pip dependencies and syncing files from s3 to efs
• installing pip dependencies and uploading local files with scp
• syncing files from s3 to efs
• uploading local files with scp

simplest usage:

from efsync import efsync

efsync('efsync.yaml')
