DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) Creates a new version of an AI Platform model.

For more details on managing AI Platform models and versions see https://cloud.google.com/ai-platform/prediction/docs/managing-models-jobs

EXAMPLES
To create an AI Platform version model with the version ID 'versionId' and with the name 'model-name', run: 
gcloud alpha ml-engine versions create versionId --model=model-name
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
VERSION
Name of the model version.
REQUIRED FLAGS
--model=MODEL
Name of the model.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--accelerator=[count=COUNT],[type=TYPE]
Manage the accelerator config for GPU serving. When deploying a model with Compute Engine Machine Types, a GPU accelerator may also be selected.
type
The type of the accelerator. Choices are 'nvidia-tesla-a100', 'nvidia-tesla-k80', 'nvidia-tesla-p100', 'nvidia-tesla-p4', 'nvidia-tesla-t4', 'nvidia-tesla-v100'.
count
The number of accelerators to attach to each machine running the job. If not specified, the default value is 1. Your model must be specially designed to accommodate more than 1 accelerator per machine. To configure how many replicas your model has, set the manualScaling or autoScaling parameters.
--async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
--config=CONFIG
Path to a YAML configuration file containing configuration parameters for the Version to create.

The file is in YAML format. Note that not all attributes of a version are configurable; available attributes (with example values) are: 

description: A free-form description of the version.
deploymentUri: gs://path/to/source
runtimeVersion: '2.1'
#  Set only one of either manualScaling or autoScaling.
manualScaling:
  nodes: 10  # The number of nodes to allocate for this model.
autoScaling:
  minNodes: 0  # The minimum number of nodes to allocate for this model.
labels:
  user-defined-key: user-defined-value

The name of the version must always be specified via the required VERSION argument.

Only one of manualScaling or autoScaling can be specified. If both are specified in same yaml file an error will be returned.

If an option is specified both in the configuration file and via command-line arguments, the command-line arguments override the configuration file.

--description=DESCRIPTION
Description of the version.
--explanation-method=EXPLANATION_METHOD
Enable explanations and select the explanation method to use.

The valid options are: integrated-gradients: Use Integrated Gradients. sampled-shapley: Use Sampled Shapley. xrai: Use XRAI.

EXPLANATION_METHOD must be one of: integrated-gradients, sampled-shapley, xrai.

--framework=FRAMEWORK
ML framework used to train this version of the model. If not specified, defaults to 'tensorflow'. FRAMEWORK must be one of: scikit-learn, tensorflow, xgboost.
--labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]
List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.

Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers. Values must contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers.

--machine-type=MACHINE_TYPE
Type of machine on which to serve the model. Currently only applies to online prediction. For available machine types, see https://cloud.google.com/ai-platform/prediction/docs/machine-types-online-prediction#available_machine_types.
--num-integral-steps=NUM_INTEGRAL_STEPS; default=50
Number of integral steps for Integrated Gradients. Only valid when --explanation-method=integrated-gradients or --explanation-method=xrai is specified.
--num-paths=NUM_PATHS; default=50
Number of paths for Sampled Shapley. Only valid when --explanation-method=sampled-shapley is specified.
--origin=ORIGIN
Location of model/ "directory" (see https://cloud.google.com/ai-platform/prediction/docs/deploying-models#upload-model).

This overrides deploymentUri in the --config file. If this flag is not passed, deploymentUri must be specified in the file from --config.

Can be a Cloud Storage (gs://) path or local file path (no prefix). In the latter case the files will be uploaded to Cloud Storage and a --staging-bucket argument is required.

--python-version=PYTHON_VERSION
Version of Python used when creating the version. Choices are 3.7, 3.5, and 2.7. However, this value must be compatible with the chosen runtime version for the job.

Must be used with a compatible runtime version:

  • 3.7 is compatible with runtime versions 1.15 and later.
  • 3.5 is compatible with runtime versions 1.4 through 1.14.
  • 2.7 is compatible with runtime versions 1.15 and earlier.
--region=REGION
Google Cloud region of the regional endpoint to use for this command. For the global endpoint, the region needs to be specified as global.

Learn more about regional endpoints and see a list of available regions: https://cloud.google.com/ai-platform/prediction/docs/regional-endpoints

REGION must be one of: global, asia-east1, asia-northeast1, asia-southeast1, australia-southeast1, europe-west1, europe-west2, europe-west3, europe-west4, northamerica-northeast1, us-central1, us-east1, us-east4, us-west1.

--runtime-version=RUNTIME_VERSION
AI Platform runtime version for this job. Must be specified unless --master-image-uri is specified instead. It is defined in documentation along with the list of supported versions: https://cloud.google.com/ai-platform/prediction/docs/runtime-version-list
--service-account=SERVICE_ACCOUNT
Specifies the service account for resource access control.
--staging-bucket=STAGING_BUCKET
Bucket in which to stage training archives.

Required only if a file upload is necessary (that is, other flags include local paths) and no other flags implicitly specify an upload path.

Configure the container to be deployed.
--args=[ARG,…]
Comma-separated arguments passed to the command run by the container image. If not specified and no '--command' is provided, the container image's default Cmd is used.
--command=[COMMAND,…]
Entrypoint for the container image. If not specified, the container image's default Entrypoint is run.
--env-vars=[KEY=VALUE,…]
List of key-value pairs to set as environment variables.
--image=IMAGE
Name of the container image to deploy (e.g. gcr.io/myproject/server:latest).
--ports=[ARG,…]
Container ports to receive requests at. Must be a number between 1 and 65535, inclusive.
Flags to control the paths that requests and health checks are sent to.
--health-route=HEALTH_ROUTE
HTTP path to send health checks to inside the container.
--predict-route=PREDICT_ROUTE
HTTP path to send prediction requests to inside the container.
Configure the autoscaling settings to be deployed.
--max-nodes=MAX_NODES
The maximum number of nodes to scale this model under load.
--metric-targets=[METRIC-NAME=TARGET,…]
List of key-value pairs to set as metrics' target for autoscaling. Autoscaling could be based on CPU usage or GPU duty cycle, valid key could be cpu-usage or gpu-duty-cycle.
--min-nodes=MIN_NODES
The minimum number of nodes to scale this model under load.
Configure user code in prediction. 
AI Platform allows a model to have user-provided prediction
code; these options configure that code.
--package-uris=[PACKAGE_URI,…]
Comma-separated list of Cloud Storage URIs ('gs://…') for user-supplied Python packages to use.
--prediction-class=PREDICTION_CLASS
Fully-qualified name of the custom prediction class in the package provided for custom prediction.

For example, --prediction-class=my_package.SequenceModel.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available: 
gcloud ml-engine versions create
 
gcloud beta ml-engine versions create
