Steps

  1. Install `wandb>=0.17.1` and run `wandb login`
  2. Create a launch job — image-based (`wandb launch --docker-image <image> --project <proj>`), git-based (`wandb launch --uri <git-url> --job-name <name> --build-context <dir> --dockerfile <file> --entry-point "python job.py"`), or code-based (`wandb launch --uri . --job-name <name> --entry-point "python train.py"`)
  3. Create a Launch queue at wandb.ai/launch, choosing an entity, queue name, and target resource (Docker, Kubernetes, SageMaker, or Vertex AI)
  4. Start a Launch agent that polls the queue: `wandb launch-agent --queue <queue-name> --entity <entity-name>` (or deploy the agent via the official Helm chart, setting `agentConfig`); for git/code-based jobs, set `builder.type` to `docker` or `kaniko` and a registry `destination` in the agent's `launch-config.yaml`, since the default builder is `noop` (no build)
  5. Submit a job to the queue from the W&B UI Jobs tab (Launch drawer -> select queue) or directly via CLI with `wandb launch --uri <...> --queue <queue-name>`
  6. Monitor execution from the W&B UI or the polling agent's terminal output as it builds/pulls the image and runs it on the target resource
