Each workload run through Optumi is associated with a profile.
A profile is a set of configuration options, such as the machine to run on, the required packages to be installed, and the data files needed to be uploaded. By default, a new profile is created every time you open a new program in the Optumi platform. You can use the dropdown menu to select a different profile for the current notebook or click the three dots to create and manage profiles. Profiles are automatically saved as you make changes and can be reused for multiple programs.
List Python packages that your notebook imports. Optumi will pip install these packages onto the machine your session or job will run on. Each package should go on a separate line.
To save time you can hit the “Scan program and add” button. Optumi will scan your notebook for imported packages and list them for you. However, this is a beta feature and we encourage you to double check that the list is correct.
Environment variables are stored encrypted in the Optumi cloud platform and are a convenient way of accessing credentials or configuration options. You can read more about environment variables in python here
Upload local files and access data from supported databases. Optumi will preposition the files on the machine your session or job will run on. Optumi currently supports the following data connectors:
If you need to access data from other sources, you can do it directly in your code (using environment variables), or you can request we add a new connector by contacting [email protected].
