Question

Hi Is there a way to get current image FQN in case of a remote execution from within a task Specifically I would be interested in having that information in `PythonTask pre execute ` so `user params ExecutionParameters` would also be available if that helps

Yee · Answer

so no not at this time but this is something i m pretty sure we can add

Yee · Answer

there s a <https github com flyteorg flyte issues 2490|related issue> for improving the sematics around that object

Yee · Answer

could you elaborate on the use case a bit please

Yee · Answer

you can always inject the name of the image into the image itself if you need as an environment variable

Yee · Answer

in fact we used to do this but it ended up being error prone and complicated so we worked around it

< Bernhard Stadlbauer> would love to understand the usecase and also file an issue I think you can do this today by adding the image as an environment variable We did not want rely on Flyte internal vars

Thanks for the quick response < Yee> < Ketan kumare3 > The usecase is that I am working on a `flytekit` `dask` plugin at the moment very similar to I thought it might be nice if the `dask` cluster spins up its scheduler and worker nodes with the same image as the one that the Flyte task is running on in the remote execution case As a side note if we things are working we would also like to upstream our changes and contribute the plugin to the `flytekit` repository I ve currently based my work on the new and experimental

Ketan (kumare3) · Answer

Fantastic tbh this would be best accomplished using a backend plugin

Ketan (kumare3) · Answer

And for operators the plugins are easy to implement

Ketan (kumare3) · Answer

Also will allow to make the UX great and keep complexity of the plugin in flytekit minimal

< Bernhard Stadlbauer> Your link to the seems to be broken Can you send the link again

Bernhard Stadlbauer · Answer

Ok < Ketan kumare3 > I ll look into the backend plugin don t have a time estimate yet though especially as we have a working `flytekit` plugin which is only a few lines of code thumbsup < Marc Paquette> Sorry for that this should be the link

Marc Paquette · Answer

< Bernhard Stadlbauer> No worries Thanks

Ketan (kumare3) · Answer

< Bernhard Stadlbauer> that is perfect We can help with the backend plugin But if you have a flytekit plugin and are open to sharing it we would love to TAL at it
