@ancient-wolf-19325 In terms of templating of container arguments, can the arguments

inputs

and

output-prefix

be overridden at compile time

"--inputs",
    "{{.input}}",
    "--output-prefix",
    "{{.outputPrefix}}",
    "--raw-output-data-prefix",

No, the arguments

inputs

and

output-prefix

cannot be overridden at compile time. These arguments are set at runtime by Flyte's templating mechanism. According to the Container Interface documentation, the

inputs

and

output-prefix

arguments are populated at runtime with the actual values required for task execution. The templating process ensures that these values are dynamically replaced with the appropriate runtime data, such as the location of input data and the prefix for output data storage. Would you like more detail on how the templating process works or any other aspect of Flyte's container interface?

@ancient-wolf-19325 can they be defined in a PodTemplate

No, the

inputs

and

output-prefix

arguments cannot be defined in a PodTemplate. PodTemplates in Flyte are used to define the configuration of the Kubernetes Pods, such as container images, resource requests, and environment variables, but they do not handle the dynamic runtime arguments like

inputs

and

output-prefix

. According to the Flyte documentation on PodTemplates, PodTemplates are used to configure the PodSpec, including containers, volumes, and other Kubernetes-specific configurations. The dynamic arguments like

inputs

and

output-prefix

are handled by Flyte's runtime templating mechanism, not by the PodTemplate. Would you like more details on how to configure PodTemplates or any other aspect of Flyte's runtime configuration?

@ancient-wolf-19325 where in the flyte template are these arguments defined

The

inputs

and

output-prefix

arguments are defined in the Flyte task template under the

args

section of the container specification. These arguments are dynamically populated at runtime using Flyte's templating mechanism. According to the Container Interface documentation, the task template includes a JSON structure where the

args

field specifies the command-line arguments for the container. The placeholders

{{.input}}

and

{{.outputPrefix}}

are used in this section and are replaced with actual values at runtime. Here is an example from the documentation:

"container": {
  "command": [],
  "args": [
    "pyflyte-execute",
    "--inputs",
    "{{.input}}",
    "--output-prefix",
    "{{.outputPrefix}}",
    "--raw-output-data-prefix",
    "{{.rawOutputDataPrefix}}",
    "--resolver",
    "flytekit.core.python_auto_container.default_task_resolver",
    "--",
    "task-module",
    "core.basic.hello_world",
    "task-name",
    "say_hello"
  ]
}

@ancient-wolf-19325 that link https://docs.flyte.org/en/latest/flytesnacks/examples/extending/container_interface.html does not exist

I apologize for the incorrect link. The correct documentation can be found in the Flyte GitHub repository and the Flyte documentation site. Here are the correct links: 1. Container Interface documentation on GitHub 2. Container Interface documentation on Flyte's official site These sources provide detailed information on how Flyte handles container arguments and the templating mechanism.

@ancient-wolf-19325 Can we override these in the flyte helm values or templates?

No, the

inputs

and

output-prefix

arguments cannot be overridden in the Flyte Helm values or templates. These arguments are dynamically populated at runtime by Flyte's templating mechanism and are not configurable through Helm values or templates. According to the Flyte Container Interface documentation, the

inputs

and

output-prefix

placeholders are replaced with actual values at runtime, ensuring that the task has the correct data paths for execution. This dynamic replacement is handled internally by Flyte and is not exposed for configuration through Helm. Would you like more details on how to configure other aspects of Flyte using Helm or any other specific configurations?
