Managing Apps

The Apolo platform provides a rich catalog of applications to support your entire MLOps lifecycle. This guide will walk you through exploring, installing, and managing these applications within your projects.

Exploring Apps

The "All Apps" page is your central hub for discovering applications available on the platform.

1. Navigate to the Apps section from the main menu on the left.

2. You will see the All Apps page, which displays a catalog of available applications like Jupyter, Stable Diffusion, MLFlow Core, and more.

3. Scroll through the list to see all available options.

4. Each application card has an Explore button. To learn more about an application before installing it, click Explore.

5. This will take you to the application's detail page, where you can find:

   • A detailed description of the app.

   • Version information.

   • Links to official Documentation and References.

   • A list of Related applications.

Installing Apps

You can install an application directly from the catalog or from its exploration page.

1. Locate the application you wish to install in the All Apps list.

2. Click the Install button on the application's card. (Alternatively, you can click Install from the app's "Explore" page).

3. You will be directed to the installation configuration page. Here, you must define the parameters for your app deployment.

4. Fill in the required fields. Common parameters include:

   • Resource Preset: Choose the CPU, memory, and GPU resources for your application. Clicking this field opens a modal where you can select from a list of predefined presets.

   • Storage and Networking: Configure storage mounts and networking settings like HTTP authentication if needed.

   • Metadata: Assign a unique name to your application instance.

5. After configuring all the necessary parameters, click the final Install button at the bottom of the page to deploy the application. You will be redirected to that app instance's Details page.

Managing Installed Apps

Once an application is installed, you can manage it from the "Installed Apps" tab.

1. On the main Apps page, click the Installed Apps tab.

2. This page lists all applications currently running in your selected project. Each app card displays its status (e.g., Healthy, Degraded).

3. Click the Details button on the card of the application you want to inspect.

App Instance Details

The application's details page provides comprehensive information about the running instance:

• Details Tab: Shows metadata like the installation ID, owner, and status. It also displays the Input parameters used during installation and the Output details, such as API endpoints.

• Log Tab: View real-time logs from the application to monitor its behavior and troubleshoot issues.

• Uninstall: From the "Details" tab, you can click the Uninstall button to remove the application instance.

Accessing Installed Apps

If your installed application has a web interface (like Jupyter, Stable Diffusion, or a deployed model), you can access it directly through its public URL.

1. Navigate to the Installed Apps page and click Details on the desired application.

2. On the "Details" tab, scroll down to the Output section.

3. Look for an HTTP API entry that contains a public-facing URL (e.g., one ending in apps.your-org.com).

4. Copy the Hostname URL provided.

5. Paste this URL into a new browser tab. This will open the application's user interface.
