Fully Sharded Data Parallel with Ray on Amazon ECS

In this post, we demonstrate how to implement Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP) fine-tuning of the dolly-v2-7b model using Amazon ECS. The solution uses a Ray cluster running on ECS with two services (head and worker) connected to Amazon S3, enabling efficient distributed training across multiple GPUs while abstracting away container orchestration complexities.

With a simple architecture, control plane transparent upgrades, and native AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) authentication, Amazon ECS provides a great environment […]
