📊 Experiment Tracking Components
PR #530 adds a new stack component to ZenMLs ever-growing list: experiment_trackers
allows users to configure your experiment tracking tools with ZenML. Examples of experiment tracking tools are Weights&Biases, mlflow, Neptune, amongst others.
Existing users might be confused, as ZenML has had MLflow and wandb support for a while now without such a component. However, this component allows uses more control over the configuration of MLflow and wandb with the new MLFlowExperimentTracker
and
WandbExperimentTracker
components. This allows these tools to work in more scenarios than the currently limiting local use-cases.
🔎 XGBoost and LightGBM support
XGBoost and LightGBM are one of the most widely used boosting algorithm libraries out there. This release adds materializers for native objects for each library.
Check out both examples here and PR's #544 and #538 for more details.
📂 Parameterized S3FS support to enable non-AWS S3 storage (minio, ceph)
A big complaint of the S3 Artifact Store integration was that it was hard to parameterize it in a way that it supports non-AWS S3 storage like minio and ceph. The latest release
made this super simple! When you want to register an S3ArtifactStore from the CLI, you can now pass in client_kwargs
, config_kwargs
or s3_additional_kwargs
as a JSON string. For example:
zenml artifact-store register my_s3_store --type=s3 --path=s3://my_bucket \
--client_kwargs='{"endpoint_url": "http://my-s3-endpoint"}'
See PR #532 for more details.
🧱 New CLI commands to update stack components
We added functionality to allow users to update stacks that already exist. This shows the basic workflow:
zenml orchestrator register local_orchestrator2 -t local
zenml stack update default -o local_orchestrator2
zenml stack describe default
zenml container-registry register local_registry --type=default --uri=localhost:5000
zenml container-registry update local --uri='somethingelse.com'
zenml container-registry rename local local2
zenml container-registry describe local2
zenml stack rename default new_default
zenml stack update new_default -c local2
zenml stack describe new_default
zenml stack remove-component -c
More details are in the CLI docs.
Users can add new stack components to a pre-existing stack, or they can modify
already-present stack components. They can also rename their stack and individual stack components.
🐛 Seldon Core authentication through ZenML secrets
The Seldon Core Model Deployer stack component was updated in this release to allow the configuration of ZenML secrets with credentials that authenticate Seldon to access the Artifact Store. The Seldon Core integration provides 3 different secret schemas for the 3 flavors of Artifact Store: AWS, GCP, and Azure, but custom secrets can be used as well. For more information on how to use this feature please refer to our Seldon Core deployment example.
Lastly, we had numerous other changes such as ensuring the PyTorch materializer works across all artifact stores
and the Kubeflow Metadata Store can be easily queried locally.
