Managing models

This page describes how to deploy, undeploy, list, delete, and get information about your custom models using AutoML Tables.

For information about training a new model, see Training models.

Deploying a model

After you train your model, you must deploy it before you can request online predictions using that model. Batch predictions can be requested from a model that is not deployed.

Deploying a model incurs charges. For more information, see the pricing page.

Console

  1. Go to the AutoML Tables page in the Google Cloud console.

    Go to the AutoML Tables page

  2. Select the Models tab in the left navigation pane and select the Region.

  3. In the More actions menu for the model you want to deploy, click Deploy model.

    More actions menu for deployment

REST

You deploy a model by using the models.deploy method.

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

  • endpoint: automl.googleapis.com for the global location, and eu-automl.googleapis.com for the EU region.
  • project-id: your Google Cloud project ID.
  • location: the location for the resource: us-central1 for Global or eu for the European Union.
  • model-id: the ID of the model you want to deploy. For example, TBL543.

HTTP method and URL:

POST https://endpoint/v1beta1/projects/project-id/locations/location/models/model-id:deploy

To send your request, choose one of these options:

curl

Execute the following command:

curl -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
-H "x-goog-user-project: project-id" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
-d "" \
"https://endpoint/v1beta1/projects/project-id/locations/location/models/model-id:deploy"

PowerShell

Execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred"; "x-goog-user-project" = "project-id" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
-Method POST `
-Headers $headers `
-Uri "https://endpoint/v1beta1/projects/project-id/locations/location/models/model-id:deploy" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

{
  "name": "projects/292381/locations/us-central1/operations/TBL543",
  "metadata": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.automl.v1beta1.OperationMetadata",

    ],
    "deployModelDetails": {},
    "state": "RUNNING"
  }
}

Deploying a model is a long-running operation. You can poll for the operation status or wait for the operation to return. Learn more.

Python

The client library for AutoML Tables includes additional Python methods that simplify using the AutoML Tables API. These methods refer to datasets and models by name instead of id. Your dataset and model names must be unique. For more information, see the Client reference.

If your resources are located in the EU region, you must explicitly set the endpoint. Learn more.

# Deploy model
response = client.deploy_model(model_display_name=model_display_name)

# synchronous check of operation status.
print(f"Model deployed. {response.result()}")

Undeploying a model

Your model must be deployed before you can request online predictions. When you no longer need a model for online predictions, you can undeploy the model to avoid deployment charges.

For information about deployment charges, see the pricing page.

Console

  1. Go to the AutoML Tables page in the Google Cloud console.

  2. Select the Models tab in the left navigation pane and select the Region.

  3. In the More actions menu for the model you want to undeploy, click Remove deployment.

You use the models.undeploy method to undeploy a model.

  • project-id: your Google Cloud project ID.

Python

The client library for AutoML Tables includes additional Python methods that simplify using the AutoML Tables API. These methods refer to datasets and models by name instead of id. Your dataset and model names must be unique. For more information, see the Client reference.

If your resources are located in the EU region, you must explicitly set the endpoint. Learn more.

# TODO(developer): Uncomment and set the following variables
# project_id = 'PROJECT_ID_HERE'
# compute_region = 'COMPUTE_REGION_HERE'
# filter = 'DATASET_DISPLAY_NAME_HERE'

from google.cloud import automl_v1beta1 as automl

client = automl.TablesClient(project=project_id, region=compute_region)

# List all the models available in the region by applying filter.
response = client.list_models(filter=filter)

print("List of models:")
for model in response:
    # Retrieve deployment state.
    if model.deployment_state == automl.Model.DeploymentState.DEPLOYED:
        deployment_state = "deployed"
    else:
        deployment_state = "undeployed"

    # Display the model information.
    print(f"Model name: {model.name}")
    print("Model id: {}".format(model.name.split("/")[-1]))
    print(f"Model display name: {model.display_name}")
    metadata = model.tables_model_metadata
    print(
        "Target column display name: {}".format(
            metadata.target_column_spec.display_name
        )
    )
    print(
        "Training budget in node milli hours: {}".format(
            metadata.train_budget_milli_node_hours
        )
    )
    print(
        "Training cost in node milli hours: {}".format(
            metadata.train_cost_milli_node_hours
        )

    print(f"Model deployment state: {deployment_state}")
    print("\n")

Deleting a model

Deleting a model removes it permanently from your project.

Console

  1. In the AutoML Tables UI, click the Models tab in the left navigation menu and select the Region to display the list of available models for that region.

  2. Click the three-dot menu at the far right of the row you want to delete and select Delete model.

  3. Click Delete in the confirmation dialog box.

REST

You use the models.delete method to delete a model.

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

  • endpoint: automl.googleapis.com for the global location, and eu-automl.googleapis.com for the EU region.
  • project-id: your Google Cloud project ID.
  • location: the location for the resource: us-central1 for Global or eu for the European Union.
  • model-id: the ID of the model you want to delete. For example, TBL543.

HTTP method and URL:

DELETE https://endpoint/v1beta1/projects/project-id/locations/location/models/model-id

To send your request, choose one of these options:

curl

Execute the following command:

curl -X DELETE \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
-H "x-goog-user-project: project-id" \
"https://endpoint/v1beta1/projects/project-id/locations/location/models/model-id"

PowerShell

Execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred"; "x-goog-user-project" = "project-id" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
-Method DELETE `
-Headers $headers `
-Uri "https://endpoint/v1beta1/projects/project-id/locations/location/models/model-id" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

{
  "name": "projects/29452381/locations/us-central1/operations/TBL543",
  "metadata": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.automl.v1beta1.OperationMetadata",
    "createTime": "2019-12-26T17:19:50.684850Z",
    "updateTime": "2019-12-26T17:19:50.684850Z",
    "deleteDetails": {},
    "worksOn": [
      "projects/29452381/locations/us-central1/models/TBL543"
    ],
    "state": "DONE"
  },
  "done": true,
  "response": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.Empty"
  }
}

Deleting a model is a long-running operation. You can poll for the operation status or wait for the operation to return. Learn more.
