For more details, see Ref docs <http://tinyurl.com/1igh60kt>
explanation_parameters explain.ExplanationParameters

Optional. Parameters to configure explaining for Model's predictions. Can be specified only if generate_explanation is set to True. This value overrides the value of Model.explanation_parameters.

Returns
Type Description
(jobs.BatchPredictionJob) Instantiated representation of the created batch prediction job.

    metadata: Optional[Sequence[Tuple[str, str]]] = (),
    encryption_spec_key_name: Optional[str] = None,
    sync=True,
)

Deploys model to endpoint. Endpoint will be created if unspecified.

Parameters
Name Description
endpoint "Endpoint"

Optional. Endpoint to deploy model to. If not specified, endpoint display name will be model display name+'_endpoint'.
deployed_model_display_name str

Optional. The display name of the DeployedModel. If not provided upon creation, the Model's display_name is used.
traffic_percentage int

Optional. Desired traffic to newly deployed model. Defaults to 0 if there are pre-existing deployed models. Defaults to 100 if there are no pre-existing deployed models. Negative values should not be provided. Traffic of previously deployed models at the endpoint will be scaled down to accommodate new deployed model's traffic. Should not be provided if traffic_split is provided.
traffic_split Dict[str, int]

Optional. A map from a DeployedModel's ID to the percentage of this Endpoint's traffic that should be forwarded to that DeployedModel. If a DeployedModel's ID is not listed in this map, then it receives no traffic. The traffic percentage values must add up to 100, or map must be empty if the Endpoint is to not accept any traffic at the moment. Key for model being deployed is "0". Should not be provided if traffic_percentage is provided.
machine_type str

Optional. The type of machine. Not specifying machine type will result in model to be deployed with automatic resources.
min_replica_count int

Optional. The minimum number of machine replicas this deployed model will be always deployed on. If traffic against it increases, it may dynamically be deployed onto more replicas, and as traffic decreases, some of these extra replicas may be freed.
max_replica_count int

Optional. The maximum number of replicas this deployed model may be deployed on when the traffic against it increases. If requested value is too large, the deployment will error, but if deployment succeeds then the ability to scale the model to that many replicas is guaranteed (barring service outages). If traffic against the deployed model increases beyond what its replicas at maximum may handle, a portion of the traffic will be dropped. If this value is not provided, the smaller value of min_replica_count or 1 will be used.
accelerator_type str

Optional. Hardware accelerator type. Must also set accelerator_count if used. One of ACCELERATOR_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED, NVIDIA_TESLA_K80, NVIDIA_TESLA_P100, NVIDIA_TESLA_V100, NVIDIA_TESLA_P4, NVIDIA_TESLA_T4
accelerator_count int

Optional. The number of accelerators to attach to a worker replica.
service_account str

The service account that the DeployedModel's container runs as. Specify the email address of the service account. If this service account is not specified, the container runs as a service account that doesn't have access to the resource project. Users deploying the Model must have the iam.serviceAccounts.actAs permission on this service account.
explanation_metadata explain.ExplanationMetadata

Optional. Metadata describing the Model's input and output for explanation. Both explanation_metadata and explanation_parameters must be passed together when used. For more details, see Ref docs <http://tinyurl.com/1igh60kt>
explanation_parameters explain.ExplanationParameters

Optional. Parameters to configure explaining for Model's predictions. For more details, see Ref docs <http://tinyurl.com/1an4zake>
metadata Sequence[Tuple[str, str]]

Optional. Strings which should be sent along with the request as metadata.
encryption_spec_key_name Optional[str]

Optional. The Cloud KMS resource identifier of the customer managed encryption key used to protect the model. Has the form: projects/my-project/locations/my-region/keyRings/my-kr/cryptoKeys/my-key. The key needs to be in the same region as where the compute resource is created. If set, this Model and all sub-resources of this Model will be secured by this key. Overrides encryption_spec_key_name set in aiplatform.init

Whether to execute this method synchronously. If False, this method will be executed in concurrent Future and any downstream object will be immediately returned and synced when the Future has completed.
Returns
Type Description
endpoint ("Endpoint") Endpoint with the deployed model.
