Global Config

You can set global defaults for your cluster that are passed down to all pipeline specs. These defaults provide a consistent experience for your data scientists and help manage your cluster.

Before You Start

Cluster Defaults

Set Global Cluster Defaults

Note
Setting global defaults does not trigger existing pipelines to regenerate automatically unless the --regenerate flag is set.

View Global Cluster Defaults

  1. Open a terminal window.
  2. Input the following command:
    pachctl inspect defaults --cluster | jq

Project Defaults

Set Project-Level Defaults

Note
Setting project-level defaults does not trigger existing pipelines to regenerate automatically unless the --regenerate flag is set.

View Project-Level Defaults

  1. Open a terminal window.
  2. Input the following command:
    pachctl inspect defaults --project | jq

Override Cluster or Project Defaults

Users can override global cluster or project defaults in their pipeline specs when necessary. For example, let’s say that you set a global default for resource requests to look like the following:

{
  "resourceRequests": {
    "cpu": 1,
    "memory": "256Mi",
    "disk": "1Gi",
  },
}

A user could disable needing any CPU by setting the following in their pipeline spec:

{
  "resourceRequests": {
    "cpu": null,
  },
}

Any keys not specified in the pipeline spec will apply the global defaults in the following way: project > cluster.
