In most cases, we recommend building a pipeline with bento as the deliverable.

bentoml containerize <bento>

doesn't requires the model dependencies installed

as for

containerize

wouldnt I need to have

build

the bento before? which would require the dependencies

That's true. Thus we recommend to call

bentoml build

in the service development stage. It makes sense because you will also need those dependencies to dev/test the project, right?

so maybe.. • train model + build bento (in training env) • CICD pulls the bento (maybe an exported file, I am not in a yatai env yet) and containerizes

yes this makes a lot of sense

Thanks for the advice!!
