SageMaker Chainer Containers

SageMaker Chainer Containers is an open-source library for making the Chainer framework run on Amazon SageMaker. This repository also contains Dockerfiles which install this library, Chainer, and dependencies for building SageMaker Chainer images. Amazon SageMaker utilizes Docker containers to run all training jobs & inference endpoints. The Docker images are built from the Dockerfiles specified in Docker/. The Docker files are grouped based on Chainer version and separated based on Python version and processor type. The Docker images, used to run training & inference jobs, are built from both corresponding "base" and "final" Dockerfiles. The "base" Dockerfile encompasses the installation of the framework and all of the dependencies needed. All "final" Dockerfiles build images using base images that use the tagging scheme.
