Deploying Trains Overview

Trains deployment options

By default, Trains (the Trains Python Client Package) is setup to work with the Trains demo server (https://demoapp.trains.allegro.ai/dashboard). The Trains demo server is open to anyone; however, it resets periodically and so data is deleted.

Trains provides the following deployment options:

  • Option 1: Our Trains demo server, only.

    Track, analyze, and compare experiments using the demo Trains Web-App.

    Our Trains demo server is periodically refreshed and data is deleted.

  • Option 2: Your own Trains Server.

    Maintain Trains in your own environment, using one of the available formats which include pre-built AWS EC2 AMI, pre-built Docker images for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows 10, Kubernetes and Kubernetes Using Helm.

    1. Deploy your own Trains Server
    2. Configure Trains for your Trains Server

  • Option 3: Your own Trains Server and Trains Agent.

    Maintain Trains in your own environment and manage your experimentation using Trains Agent (workers and queues).
