Build a worker-equivalent Amazon Linux 2023 Docker image for Deadline Cloud - Deadline Cloud

Build a worker-equivalent Amazon Linux 2023 Docker image for Deadline Cloud

The al2023-deadline Dockerfile replicates the package set of the Deadline Cloud service-managed fleet (SMF) worker AMI on top of the base Amazon Linux 2023 image. Use the image to:

  • Build and test conda packages with the same GLIBC version, system libraries, and runtime environment as real workers.

  • Reproduce worker-side build or runtime failures locally.

  • Validate that your software dependencies are satisfied by the worker environment before submitting jobs.

The image installs packages in layered groups that match the worker AMI: core system tools, build toolchain, X11/Mesa/OpenGL, image and media libraries, networking and security utilities, Python 3.11, Docker and containerd, AWS CLI v2, Boost, jemalloc, and TBB.

Build the image:

docker build -f Dockerfile.worker-equivalent -t al2023-deadline:latest .

Build a conda package inside the container:

docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/work -w /work al2023-deadline:latest \
    bash -c "pip3.11 install conda-build && conda build my-recipe/"
Important

This image is a point-in-time snapshot. The actual SMF worker AMI may have newer or additional packages. For NVIDIA GPU support, add the NVIDIA Container Toolkit repository to the Dockerfile and run with --gpus all.
