Why use the lightweight editor?

The default ae-editor image includes several pre-configured conda environments to support a range of common data science workflows. If you prefer a more minimalistic installation of Workbench, or need to configure your own custom environments due to internal security requirements, use the ae-editor-lite image instead.

Switching to the lightweight editor

Switching to the ae-editor-lite image post installation on your own is possible, but we still recommend opening a support ticket to schedule time with an Anaconda Integration Engineer if you want to use the lightweight editor.

  1. Follow instructions for setting platform configurations using the Helm chart and add the following lines to the bottom of your helm_values.yaml file:

    image:
      suffix: lite
    
  2. Once the helm upgrade completes, restart your pods by running the following command:

    # Replace <NAMESPACE> with the namespace where your pods are running (the default namespace is anaconda)
    kubectl delete -n <NAMESPACE> --wait=false $(kubectl get pods -o name|grep ap-)
