How does W&B Launch build images?

How W&B Launch builds container images based on job source and accelerator base image.

The steps for building an image depend on the job source and the specified accelerator base image in the resource configuration.

When configuring a queue or submitting a job, include a base accelerator image in the queue or job resource configuration:

{
    "builder": {
        "accelerator": {
            "base_image": "image-name"
        }
    }
}

The build process includes the following actions based on the job type and provided accelerator base image:

| | Install Python using apt | Install Python packages | Create a user and workdir | Copy code into image | Set entrypoint | |
