Workflow

Overview

  1. Upload task file to the batch bucket
  2. Batch bucket trigger launches an instance of a Lambda function
  3. The Lambda function reads the content in the task file and submits a batch job
  4. Each batch job generates tiles and manifests from the original image and uploads the generated derivatives to the target S3 bucket

Batch Job

  1. Pull raw original files from the S3 bucket
  2. Generate tiles and manifests
  3. Upload to target S3 bucket

Deploy aws-batch-iiif-generator using CloudFormation stack

Step 1: Launch CloudFormation stack

Launch Stack

Click Next to continue

Step 2: Specify stack details

Note: It's a good idea to provide a namespace for these resource names to prevent collisions (prepend resource names w/ stack name maybe? Don't prepend anything to the DockerImage)

Name Description
Stack name any valid name
BatchRepositoryName any valid name for Batch process repository
DockerImage any valid Docker image. E.g. wlhunter/iiif_s3_tiling:latest
JDName any valid name for Job definition
JQName any valid name for Job queue
LambdaFunctionName any valid name for Lambda function
LambdaRoleName any valid name for Lambda role
S3BucketName any valid name for S3 bucket

Step 3: Configure stack options

Leave it as is and click Next

Step 4: Review

Make sure all checkboxes under Capabilities section are CHECKED

Click Create stack

Deploy aws-batch-iiif-generator using AWS CLI

Run the following in your shell to deploy the application to AWS:

aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name awsiiifs3batch --template-body file://awsiiifs3batch.template --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM

See Cloudformation: create stack for --parameters option

Usage

  • Prepare task.json
  • Prepare dataset and upload to S3 AWS_SRC_BUCKET bucket
  • Edit the jobQueue and jobDefinition values in task.json to match the resource names specified during stack creation.
  • Upload task.json to the S3 bucket created after the deployment.
  • Go to AWS_DEST_BUCKET to see the end results for generated IIIF tiles and manifests.
  • Test manifests in Mirador (Note: you need to configure S3 access permission and CORS settings)
  • See our Live Demo

Cleanup

To delete the sample application that you created, use the AWS CLI. Assuming you used your project name for the stack name, you can run the following:

aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name stackname

Batch Configuration

  • Compute Environment: Type: EC2, MinvCpus: 0, MaxvCpus: 128, InstanceTypes: optimal
  • Job Definition: Type: container, Image: DockerImage, Vcpus: 2, Memory: 2000
  • Job Queue: Priority: 10

S3

  • AWS_SRC_BUCKET: For raw images and CSV files to be processed
    • Raw image files
    • CSV files
  • AWS_DEST_BUCKET: For saving tiles and manifests files

Lambda function

  • index.py: Submit a batch job when a task file is uploaded to a S3 bucket

Task File

Name Description
jobName Batch job name
jobQueue Batch job queue name
jobDefinition Batch job definition name
command "./createiiif.sh"
AWS_REGION AWS region, e.g. us-east-1
COLLECTION_IDENTIFIER from collection metadata csv
AWS_SRC_BUCKET S3 bucket which stores the images need to be processed. (Source S3 bucket)
AWS_DEST_BUCKET S3 bucket which stores the generated tile images and manifests files. (Target S3 bucket)
ACCESS_DIR Path to the image folder in AWS_SRC_BUCKET
DEST_PREFIX path pointing to the directory that contains your collection directory in AWS_DEST_BUCKET (This is generally your "collection category" and does not include COLLECTION_IDENTIFIER at the path's end. )
DEST_URL Root URL for accessing the manifests e.g. https://cloudfront.amazonaws.com/...
CSV_NAME A CSV file with title and description of the images
CSV_PATH Path to the csv folder under the AWS_SRC_BUCKET
