AI Model Checkpoint Storage in DigitalOcean Spaces
PythonTo store AI model checkpoints in DigitalOcean Spaces, you can use Pulumi with the DigitalOcean provider. DigitalOcean Spaces is an object storage service that makes it easy and cost-effective to store and serve large amounts of data. The Pulumi DigitalOcean provider offers resources such as
SpacesBucket
to create and manage spaces, andSpacesBucketObject
to manage objects within spaces.Below is a detailed Pulumi program written in Python that sets up a new Space for storing your model checkpoints and uploads an example checkpoint file to this space:
Explanation
-
Create a DigitalOcean Space: We'll start by creating a new space using the
digitalocean.SpacesBucket
resource. Spaces are analogous to AWS S3 buckets and can store any amount of data. Each space needs a unique name and a region. -
Upload a Model Checkpoint as an Object: Once the space is ready, we'll use the
digitalocean.SpacesBucketObject
resource to upload a file to the space. This file will be your AI model checkpoint. You'll need to provide the file name, the content type, and the space where it will reside. -
Export the Space URL: Finally, we want to retrieve the URL of the uploaded checkpoint, for which we'll use
pulumi.export
. This way, you can access the checkpoint file from anywhere using this URL.
Here is the Pulumi program:
import pulumi import pulumi_digitalocean as digitalocean # The name of your DigitalOcean Space which will store the AI model checkpoints # It must be globally unique. checkpoint_space_name = "ai-model-checkpoints" # The DigitalOcean region where the Space will be created (e.g., "nyc3") space_region = "nyc3" # Create a new Space for storing AI model checkpoints checkpoint_space = digitalocean.SpacesBucket(checkpoint_space_name, region=space_region) # Path to the model checkpoint file on your local filesystem local_checkpoint_path = "path/to/your/local/ai-model-checkpoint.file" # Upload the AI model checkpoint to the Space checkpoint_object = digitalocean.SpacesBucketObject("ai-model-checkpoint", bucket=checkpoint_space.name, key="ai-model-checkpoint.file", content_type="application/octet-stream", source=pulumi.FileAsset(local_checkpoint_path)) # Export the URL of the uploaded AI model checkpoint pulumi.export("checkpoint_url", checkpoint_object.url)
Running the Pulumi Program
Before running the program, you must have the Pulumi CLI installed and DigitalOcean access tokens configured. You can then run the program using the Pulumi CLI, which will provision the resources defined above. After running
pulumi up
, Pulumi will output the URL of the uploaded model checkpoint, which you can use to access the file.Important Notes
- Replace
"path/to/your/local/ai-model-checkpoint.file"
with the actual path to your model checkpoint file. - Set the
space_region
to a region that's closest to you or your users for optimal performance. - Make sure that the name of your space (
checkpoint_space_name
) is unique. - The content type
"application/octet-stream"
is used here as a generic type for binary files; it may be adjusted according to your file type.
This program demonstrates the basic usage of Pulumi and DigitalOcean to store AI model checkpoints. It can be extended with additional features such as enabling access logging, setting up a CDN, or configuring fine-grained access permissions using bucket policies.
