Method: projects.locations.models.copy

Copies an already existing Vertex AI Model into the specified Location. The source Model must exist in the same Project. When copying custom Models, the users themselves are responsible for Model.metadata content to be region-agnostic, as well as making sure that any resources (e.g. files) it depends on remain accessible.

JSON representation

JSON representation
{ "sourceModel": string, "encryptionSpec": { object (`EncryptionSpec`) }, // Union field `destination_model` can be only one of the following: "modelId": string, "parentModel": string // End of list of possible types for union field `destination_model`. }

{
  "sourceModel": string,
  "encryptionSpec": {
    object (EncryptionSpec)
  },

  // Union field destination_model can be only one of the following:
  "modelId": string,
  "parentModel": string
  // End of list of possible types for union field destination_model.
}

Fields
`sourceModel`	`string` Required. The resource name of the Model to copy. That Model must be in the same Project. Format: `projects/{project}/locations/{location}/models/{model}`
`encryptionSpec`	`object (EncryptionSpec)` Customer-managed encryption key options. If this is set, then the Model copy will be encrypted with the provided encryption key.
Union field `destination_model`. If both fields are unset, a new Model will be created with a generated ID. `destination_model` can be only one of the following:
`modelId`	`string` Optional. Copy sourceModel into a new Model with this ID. The ID will become the final component of the model resource name. This value may be up to 63 characters, and valid characters are `[a-z0-9_-]`. The first character cannot be a number or hyphen.
`parentModel`	`string` Optional. Specify this field to copy sourceModel into this existing Model as a new version. Format: `projects/{project}/locations/{location}/models/{model}`
