Scheduled deployment example¶
Here is an example anaconda-project.yml
file to demonstrate how to use a scheduled deployment task with scripts and notebooks:
Scripts¶
You can run scripts in the correct conda environment by declaring a python
executable that’s consistent with the packages specified in the anaconda-project.yml
file—in this example, a Python 3.7 Notebook.
The following excerpt of an example anaconda-project.yml
file uses an appropriate python
executable.
In this example, task.py
runs the following code, which will print the time and date when the script runs.
Notebooks¶
Notebook files cannot be executed using the notebook:
command, as that command starts an interactive Jupyter session.
Instead, you can specify a unix:
command to execute a Jupyter notebook.
For example, create a simple notebook named task.ipynb
, with a single cell:
To run the notebook, create another file in the project named run_nb.sh
that contains the following:
This run_nb.sh
script runs the nbconvert tool against the notebook file, and ensures that:
The Python3 kernel is used
The output is converted to easy-to-ready Markdown
The output is directed to STDOUT rather than a file
Lastly, add the following to the anaconda-project.yml
file for the task.ipynb
notebook:
After you save and commit your project, you can create a schedule to run it.
