The mysterious aml_config directory

[masoncusack]

Hello, I'm missing where the aml_config directory comes from. When I run create_docker_image.py, an error is thrown because it doesn't exist.

I notice that files it's supposed to contain such as model.json are written to the remote outputs directory when training finishes, but at no point is it downloaded or created locally as part of the process up to this point.

Could you inform me where this is supposed to be coming from?

Error on running create_docker_image.py:

Hi Mason,

Thank you for raising this issue. The file create_docker_image.py should have been deleted. Please use deploy.py in the same folder instead. I'll update the documentation momentarily.
