Scheduled Container

Scheduled Container allows you to specify the start time of calculations on request and schedule the resource usage for batch tasks to improve productivity. Resources are recycled as soon as they are used, effectively saving development costs.

Create a scheduled container​

  • Click Scheduled Containers from the list of services, and then click CREATE on the Scheduled Containers page.

tip

You can click on the asterisk on the left side of All Services to pin your favorite services to My Favorite Services to speed up the process.

  • Fill in the basic information of the container, select the image, basic configuration, and enter the command; the command will be executed automatically when the task-based container starts, and then click NEXT: STROAGE> to enter the STROAGE page.

Please use Hyper File System to upload the content of the program you want to run.

  • After the container is created, the system automatically mounts the Hyper File System to the container for better performance when users run artificial intelligence computing, or use the TWSC Cloud Object Storage service.

  • Click NEXT: SCHEDULE to set the schedule.

Scheduled for a specified time can be run as early as the next full time at the set time, once a scheduled container is created, it needs to be started first and will only be executed when the specified time comes.

Then, review the specifications and price of the entire container and click "Create" to finish.

Manage scheduled containers​

  • Once a container has been created, it will appear in the list of scheduled container management containers. Make sure to START the container and it will perform the operation immediately or at the specified time when the status changes from Inactive to Active.

caution
  • The Scheduled Log feature does not ensure that all your logs are saved and available at the end of a container run. It is recommended that you dump your logs to Hyper File System or upload them to Cloud Object Storage to ensure their availability.
  • If you would like TWSC maintenance staff to assist you in obtaining complete records, please write to Authorization Processing (isupport@twcc.ai) and do not store sensitive data.

Tenant User can only see their own resource usage information. Tenant Admin can see the resource usage of all users in the project so that they can control the resource usage of the whole project.
