Setup Hoplite Parameter Server experiments on AWS.

Setup Local Environment (About 2 min)

On your local machine, make sure Python (>=3.6) is installed on the local machine. Then install Ray version 1.3 and boto with:

pip install ray==1.3 boto3  # if failed, use "pip -V" to check if you are using python3

Start the cluster and connect to the head node via:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="Your Access Key ID"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="Your Secret Acess Key"
ray up example.yaml
ray attach example.yaml

Visit the directory with pre-built binaries via cd ~/efs/hoplite

Remember to take down the cluster using ray down example.yaml on the local machine after evaluation.
