Security and Authentication

By default, Runhouse collects metadata from provisioned clusters and data relating to performance and error monitoring. This data will only be used by Runhouse to improve the product.

Cluster Metadata Collection

We collect non-sensitive data on the cluster that helps us understand how Runhouse is being used. This data includes:

  • Python version

  • Resources (cpus, gpus, memory)

  • Cloud provider

  • Region

  • Instance type

Cluster Observability

Runhouse collects various telemetry data by default on clusters. This data will be used to provide better observability into logs, traces, and metrics associated with clusters. We will not sell data or buy any observability data collected.

To disable observability globally for all clusters, set the environment variable disable_observability to True. Alternatively, set disable_observability to true in your local Runhouse config (~/.rh/config.yaml), or in Python:

import runhouse as rh
rh.configs.disable_observability()
