Flyte v1.4.0 milestone release

Flyte 1.4 release

The main features of the 1.4 release are:

• Suport for PodTemplate at the task-level
• Revamped auth system in flytekit

As python 3.7 reached EOL support in December of 2022, we dropped support for that version on this release.

Platform

Support for PodTemplate at the task-level.

Users can now define PodTemplate as part of the definition of a task. For example, note how we have access a full V1PodSpec as part of the task definition:

@task(
    pod_template=PodTemplate(
        primary_container_name="primary",
        labels={"lKeyA": "lValA", "lKeyB": "lValB"},
        annotations={"aKeyA": "aValA", "aKeyB": "aValB"},
        pod_spec=V1PodSpec(
            containers=[
                V1Container(
                    name="primary",
                    image="repo/placeholderImage:0.0.0",
                    command="echo",
                    args=["wow"],
                    resources=V1ResourceRequirements(limits={"cpu": "999", "gpu": "999"}),
                    env=[V1EnvVar(name="eKeyC", value="eValC"), V1EnvVar(name="eKeyD", value="eValD")],
                ),
            ],
            volumes=[V1Volume(name="volume")],
            tolerations=[
                V1Toleration(
                    key="num-gpus",
                    operator="Equal",
                    value=1,
                    effect="NoSchedule",
                ),
            ],
        )
    )
)
def t1(i: str):
    ...

We are working on more examples in our documentation. Stay tuned!
