| 5 | +# Live Migration of Inference Instances |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +This example illustrates the live migration of inference instances in a ServerlessLLM cluster by constructing a scenario where two models are deployed to the cluster. Model `Qwen2.5-3B` is stored on both nodes, while model `Qwen2.5-1.5B` is only stored on node 0 (e.g., due to being less popular). This example will show a locality-contention scenario where `Qwen2.5-3B` is being served on node 0 but `Qwen2.5-1.5B` is requested to be served on the same node for optimal locality. We will find that: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +- **Without migration**, `Qwen2.5-1.5B` would have to wait for the completion of the ongoing inference instance of `Qwen2.5-3B` on node 0. |
| 10 | +- **With live migration**, the ongoing inference instance of `Qwen2.5-3B` is migrated to node 1, and `Qwen2.5-1.5B` is allocated to node 0, thus can be served immediately. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Prerequisites |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +To run this example, we will use Docker Compose to set up a ServerlessLLM cluster. Before proceeding, please ensure you have read the [Docker Quickstart Guide](../getting_started/docker_quickstart.md). |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +**Requirements:** |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +- **Two GPUs** are required to illustrate the live migration of inference instances. |
| 19 | +- **At least 20 GB of host memory** (this can be adjusted by using smaller models). |
| 20 | +- **ServerlessLLM version 0.6**: Ensure you have `sllm==0.6` and `sllm-store==0.6` installed. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +## |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +Start a local Docker-based ray cluster using Docker Compose. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +### Clone the ServerlessLLM Repository |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +If you haven't already, clone the ServerlessLLM repository: |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +```bash |
| 31 | +git clone https://github.com/ServerlessLLM/ServerlessLLM.git |
| 32 | +cd ServerlessLLM/examples/live_migration |
| 33 | +``` |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +### Configure the Model Directory |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Create a directory on your host machine where models will be stored, and set the MODEL_FOLDER environment variable to point to this directory: |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +```bash |
| 40 | +export MODEL_FOLDER=/path/to/your/models |
| 41 | +``` |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Replace `/path/to/your/models` with the actual path where you want to store the models. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +The Docker Compose configuration is already located in the `examples/live_migration` directory. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +## Test ServerlessLLM Without Live Migration |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +1. **Start the ServerlessLLM Services Using Docker Compose** |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +```bash |
| 52 | +docker compose up -d --build |
| 53 | +``` |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +This command will start the Ray head node and two worker nodes defined in the `docker-compose.yml` file. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +:::tip |
| 58 | +Use the following command to monitor the logs of the head node: |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +```bash |
| 61 | +docker logs -f sllm_head |
| 62 | +``` |
| 63 | +::: |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +2. **Deploy Models with the Placement Spec Files** |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Activate the ServerlessLLM environment and set the server URL: |
| 68 | +```bash |
| 69 | +conda activate sllm |
| 70 | +export LLM_SERVER_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8343/ |
| 71 | +``` |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +Deploy the models: |
| 74 | +```bash |
| 75 | +sllm-cli deploy --config config-qwen-1.5b.json |
| 76 | +sllm-cli deploy --config config-qwen-3b.json |
| 77 | +``` |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +3. **Verify the Deployment** |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +Start two inference requests in parallel. The first request is for `Qwen2.5-3B`, and the second request, sent shortly after, is for `Qwen2.5-1.5B`. The `sleep` command is used to introduce a short interval between the two requests: |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +```bash |
| 84 | +curl http://127.0.0.1:8343/v1/chat/completions \ |
| 85 | +-H "Content-Type: application/json" \ |
| 86 | +-d '{ |
| 87 | + "model": "Qwen/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct", |
| 88 | + "messages": [ |
| 89 | + {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."}, |
| 90 | + {"role": "user", "content": "Could you share a story of the history of Computer Science?"} |
| 91 | + ], |
| 92 | + "max_tokens": 1024 |
| 93 | + }' & |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +sleep 3 |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +curl http://127.0.0.1:8343/v1/chat/completions \ |
| 98 | +-H "Content-Type: application/json" \ |
| 99 | +-d '{ |
| 100 | + "model": "Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct", |
| 101 | + "messages": [ |
| 102 | + {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."}, |
| 103 | + {"role": "user", "content": "What is your name?"} |
| 104 | + ], |
| 105 | + "max_tokens": 64 |
| 106 | + }' |
| 107 | +``` |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +Since `Qwen2.5-3B` is requested first, `Qwen2.5-1.5B` must wait for the ongoing inference instance of `Qwen2.5-3B` to complete on node 0 before it can start processing. |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +4. Clean up. |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +```bash |
| 115 | +docker compose down |
| 116 | +``` |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +## Test ServerlessLLM With Live Migration |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +1. **Start the ServerlessLLM Services with Live Migration Enabled** |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +Use the following command to start the ServerlessLLM services with live migration enabled. This configuration includes the `enable-migration.yml` file: |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +```bash |
| 125 | +docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f enable-migration.yml up -d --build |
| 126 | +``` |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +This command will start the Ray head node and two worker nodes, enabling the live migration feature. |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +2. **Deploy Models with the Placement Spec Files** |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +Activate the ServerlessLLM environment and set the server URL: |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +```bash |
| 135 | +conda activate sllm |
| 136 | +export LLM_SERVER_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8343/ |
| 137 | +``` |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +Deploy the models: |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +```bash |
| 142 | +sllm-cli deploy --config config-qwen-1.5b.json |
| 143 | +sllm-cli deploy --config config-qwen-3b.json |
| 144 | +``` |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +3. **Verify the Deployment** |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +Start two inference requests in parallel. The first request is for `Qwen2.5-3B`, and the second request, sent shortly after, is for `Qwen2.5-1.5B`. The `sleep` command is used to introduce a short interval between the two requests: |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +```bash |
| 151 | +curl http://127.0.0.1:8343/v1/chat/completions \ |
| 152 | +-H "Content-Type: application/json" \ |
| 153 | +-d '{ |
| 154 | + "model": "Qwen/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct", |
| 155 | + "messages": [ |
| 156 | + {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."}, |
| 157 | + {"role": "user", "content": "Could you share a story of the history of Computer Science?"} |
| 158 | + ], |
| 159 | + "max_tokens": 1024 |
| 160 | + }' & |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +sleep 3 |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +curl http://127.0.0.1:8343/v1/chat/completions \ |
| 165 | +-H "Content-Type: application/json" \ |
| 166 | +-d '{ |
| 167 | + "model": "Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct", |
| 168 | + "messages": [ |
| 169 | + {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."}, |
| 170 | + {"role": "user", "content": "What is your name?"} |
| 171 | + ], |
| 172 | + "max_tokens": 64 |
| 173 | + }' |
| 174 | +``` |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +According to the response, you should observe that `Qwen2.5-1.5B` completes ahead of `Qwen2.5-3B`. This is because the ongoing inference instance of `Qwen2.5-3B` is live-migrated from node 0 to node 1, allowing `Qwen2.5-1.5B` to be served immediately on node 0. |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +As shown in the log message, the ongoing inference instance of the model `Qwen/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct` is live-migrated from node 0 to node 1. And model `Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct` is allocated to node 0. |
