Episode 5: Hello Cloud

Look Mom, We're in the Cloud.

This flow is a simple linear workflow that verifies your cloud configuration. The start and end steps will run locally, while the hello step will run remotely. After configuring Metaflow to run in the cloud, data and metadata about your runs will be stored remotely. This means you can use the client to access information about any flow from anywhere.

You can find the tutorial code on GitHub

Showcasing:

• Using the Client API to access data artifacts generated remotely in a local notebook.
• @retrydecorator.
