Required. A fully-qualified endpoint resource name or endpoint ID. Example: "projects/123/locations/us-central1/endpoints/456" or "456" when project and location are initialized or passed.
project str

Optional. Project to retrieve endpoint from. If not set, project set in aiplatform.init will be used.
location str

Optional. Location to retrieve endpoint from. If not set, location set in aiplatform.init will be used.
credentials auth_credentials.Credentials

Properties

network

The full name of the Google Compute Engine network to which this Endpoint should be peered.

Takes the format projects/{project}/global/networks/{network}. Where {project} is a project number, as in 12345, and {network} is a network name.

Private services access must already be configured for the network. If left unspecified, the Endpoint is not peered with any network.

traffic_split

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 a moment.

)

Deploys a Model to the Endpoint.

Parameters
Name Description
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 larger value of min_replica_count or 1 will be used. If value provided is smaller than min_replica_count, it will automatically be increased to be min_replica_count.
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 aiplatform.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 aiplatform.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.
deploy_request_timeout float

Optional. The timeout for the deploy request in seconds.
autoscaling_target_cpu_utilization int

Target CPU Utilization to use for Autoscaling Replicas. A default value of 60 will be used if not specified.
autoscaling_target_accelerator_duty_cycle int

Target Accelerator Duty Cycle. Must also set accelerator_type and accelerator_count if specified. A default value of 60 will be used if not specified.
model aiplatform.Model

Required. Model to be deployed.
sync bool

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.
