Domino workspaces function as a server. You can use your preferred tools in a reproducible and customizable environment.
-
In your project’s navigation pane, click Workspaces.
-
Click + Create New Workspace.
-
Enter a name for your workspace.
-
Select an environment for your workspace. You can click one of Domino’s pre-defined environments, or create a custom environment. See Customize Environments to learn more about managing environments.
By default, Domino uses the latest revision of your environment. To use another revision of the environment:
-
In the Workspace Environments section, click Change to see the revisions for the environment.
-
Click the revision of the environment you want for your workspace. The version you selected displays in the Revision field.
NoteIf you see the Not Recommended warning, then Domino recommends using the active revision set by the project owner.
-
-
Select the integrated development environment (IDE) that you’ll use in your workspace (such as Jupyter). The selected environment determines the available IDEs. See Add Workspace IDEs to learn how to manage IDEs.
-
Select a Hardware Tier.
A hardware tier represents the compute hardware used for your run. It can be a virtual instance in a cloud services provider, or a physical machine running in your deployment’s on-premise data center.
In a hybrid deployment, hardware tiers in the dropdown are grouped by data plane, such as
GCP europe-central2
below. TheLocal
data plane corresponds to running the workspace in the Domino control plane cluster. -
If your administrator has enabled volume provisioning recommendations, you can select a Volume Size recommended by Domino based on your project size and previous usage, instead of the default volume size.
NoteIn a Git-based project, the first workspace you launch always uses the volume size configured in your project settings. Subsequent workspace launches receive volume provisioning recommendations. -
Click Next to attach a compute cluster or view additional details of the workspace (or click Launch to skip those options).
-
If necessary, attach a compute cluster to your workspace. To learn more about clusters, see the following:
-
Click Next to view additional details of the workspace (or click Launch to skip it).
For workspaces in a Git-based project you can select a branch or commit ID.
Domino shows you what data will be mounted in your workspace, based on the selected data plane.
-
In the example above, this workspace is running in the
Local
data plane. -
We can see that the project’s dataset will not be available because it is only available in the
Local
data plane. -
We can also see that the
fsx-for-lustre
EDV will be mounted because it has been added to this project and is available for the selected remote data plane.
TipIf you want to use a data mount that is not available, note which data planes it is available in, then return to the first step in the modal to select a hardware tier in the corresponding data plane. -
-
Click Launch. A new tab opens and the workspace starts loading.
