Set Project Defaults

You can set defaults for your project’s pipelines from the Console UI that are passed down to all pipeline specs. These defaults provide a consistent experience for your data scientists and help manage your project.

Before You Start #

• You must have a running Pachyderm cluster and access to the Console UI, either locally our via IdP
• Read the Global Config for information about Cluster Defaults

4. Select Project Defaults from the sidebar.
5. Input your desired default Pipeline Specification (PPS) settings in JSON format.

   {
    "createPipelineRequest": {
      "resourceRequests": {
        "cpu": 1,
        "memory": "256Mi",
        "disk": "1Gi"
      },
      "sidecarResourceRequests": {
        "cpu": 1,
        "memory": "256Mi",
        "disk": "10Gi"
      }
    }

3. Select a pipeline from the DAG.
4. Select the Pipeline Actions dropdown and choose Update Pipeline
