This topic describes how to access a Data Science Workshop (DSW) instance from the console, introduces the features of the DSW interface, and explains how to stop, delete, and modify an instance's configuration.
Console access
The DSW console provides a visual interface to monitor and manage all your instances. Accessing a DSW instance from the console is simpler than connecting remotely and does not require complex network and permission configurations. This method also lets you use advanced DSW features, such as viewing resource usage and browsing the DSW Gallery.
Log on to the PAI console.
In the navigation pane on the left, click Workspaces. On the Workspace List page, click the name of the target workspace.
In the upper-left corner of the page, select the region where you want to use the service.
In the navigation pane on the left, choose Model Training > Data Science Workshop (DSW).
Optional: On the Data Science Workshop (DSW) page, enter an instance name or a keyword in the search box.
In the Actions column for the target DSW instance, click Open.
Perform the required operations in the DSW interface.
DSW interface
The following table describes the areas of the DSW instance interface.
Area | Description |
① | The top menu bar. |
② | The left-side toolbar. |
③ | Notebook tools. |
④ | View and modify the instance's configuration, including basic information, image, and resources. |
⑤ | Notebook is an interactive programming environment where you can write and run code to quickly read data, develop algorithms, and train and deploy models. |
⑥ | WebIDE is a browser-based, fully integrated development environment. It supports all Notebook features and provides additional development tools. You can use WebIDE to create, edit, and run script files for complex software development and maintenance without installing a local IDE. |
⑦ | Terminal provides a command-line interface. You can use the Terminal to install software packages, manage the file system, access server resources, run shell scripts, and perform other tasks that interact with the operating system. |
⑧ | Resource Usage: Displays the current CPU and memory utilization. |
Manage an instance
The figure below highlights common operations for managing DSW instances.
Area ①
In Area ①, click the DSW instance name to open the instance details page, where you can view and modify the basic information and configuration of the DSW instance.
In the Basic Information section, modify the instance name.
On the Events tab, view events related to the DSW instance.
On the Lifecycle tab, view the lifecycle details of the DSW instance.
Click Share Instance to make the DSW instance visible to other members within the same workspace.
ImportantOnce an instance is made public, it cannot be made private again. Proceed with caution.
Click Change Settings to modify settings such as resource details, environment information, and network configurations.
Area ②
Area ② displays the DSW instance ID, which you can copy.
Area ③
Hover over Area ③ to view the DSW instance lifecycle details and resource type.
Area ④
Area ④ provides the following operations on the target DSW instance:
Open a DSW instance
Click Open to launch the instance's development page.
Stop a DSW instance
Click Stop to shut down a running instance.
ImportantFor a DSW instance created using a Dedicated Resource Group without a dataset mounted, the instance's system disk is used for temporary storage. If you stop or delete the instance, data on this disk is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. Proceed with caution.
For a DSW instance created using a Public Resource Group, an attached free cloud disk saves your environment when the instance is stopped. However, if the instance is not restarted within 15 days of being stopped, the system releases the cloud disk and its environment.
If you expanded the system disk when creating the DSW instance, the system disk continues to incur charges even when the instance is stopped. To stop all billing related to the DSW instance, you must delete it. Back up all necessary data before you delete the instance.
Start a DSW instance
Click Start to start a stopped instance. Wait for its Status to change from Starting to Running. The DSW instance is now running.
Click Create Image and follow the on-screen instructions to save the instance's current environment to a personal or enterprise ACR. You can then use this image to create new instances.
Change configuration
Click Change Settings to modify settings such as resource details, environment information, and network configurations.
Configure a scheduled shutdown
Click Scheduled Stop. In the dialog box that appears, turn on Enable Scheduled stop and set a Stop the Instance At. The DSW instance will then be automatically shut down at the specified time. You can also set an automatic instance recycling policy in the Scheduling Center of the workspace.
Area ⑤
Click 
and then Delete to delete the DSW instance.
Deleted instances cannot be recovered. Proceed with caution.
