Clarification on Local vs Remote Dependencies

Summary

The user is seeking clarification on the necessity of local installation of requirements despite having a remote image built, as they are confused about local versus remote dependencies. They request feedback on a statement regarding local dependency management in Flyte, which explains the workflow compilation and validation process. The statement emphasizes that Flyte compiles and validates workflows into a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) locally to ensure logical soundness and execution order. It highlights the importance of local dependency management for accurate DAG compilation, noting that missing or incorrectly installed packages can disrupt this process. Once validated, workflows are registered with the Flyte backend, and tasks are executed in remote environments using Docker images that contain all necessary dependencies. This encapsulation ensures consistency between local development and remote execution environments, underscoring the critical nature of proper dependency management within Docker images to avoid runtime errors and ensure tasks perform as expected across different execution platforms.
