Coiled on Azure is currently in beta. Reach out at support@coiled.io if you’d like to try it out.
4. Enjoy 🎉¶
Your machine can easily create and manage cloud resources, and you can easily run Python code on those resources.
# Create cluster of twenty machines
import coiled
cluster = coiled.Cluster(
n_workers=15,
)
client = cluster.get_client()
# Run a simple calculation
import dask
df = dask.datasets.timeseries("2000", "2005", partition_freq="2w").persist()
df.groupby("name").aggregate({"x": "sum", "y": "max"}).compute()
