Parameters
NameDescription
job_display_namestr

Required. The user-defined name of the BatchPredictionJob. The name can be up to 128 characters long and can be consist of any UTF-8 characters.

generate_explanationbool

Optional. Generate explanation along with the batch prediction results. This will cause the batch prediction output to include explanations based on theprediction_format: -bigquery: output includes a column namedexplanation. The value is a struct that conforms to the [aiplatform.gapic.Explanation] object. -jsonl: The JSON objects on each line include an additional entry keyedexplanation. The value of the entry is a JSON object that conforms to the [aiplatform.gapic.Explanation] object. -csv: Generating explanations for CSV format is not supported.

explanation_metadataexplain.ExplanationMetadata

Optional. Explanation metadata configuration for this BatchPredictionJob. Can be specified only ifgenerate_explanation is set toTrue. This value overrides the value ofModel.explanation_metadata. All fields ofexplanation_metadata are optional in the request. If a field of theexplanation_metadata object is not populated, the corresponding field of theModel.explanation_metadata object is inherited. For more details, seeRef docs <http://tinyurl.com/1igh60kt>

explanation_parametersexplain.ExplanationParameters

Optional. Parameters to configure explaining for Model's predictions. Can be specified only ifgenerate_explanation is set toTrue. This value overrides the value ofModel.explanation_parameters. All fields ofexplanation_parameters are optional in the request. If a field of theexplanation_parameters object is not populated, the corresponding field of theModel.explanation_parameters object is inherited. For more details, seeRef docs <http://tinyurl.com/1an4zake>

encryption_spec_key_nameOptional[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.

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

deploy

deploy(endpoint:Optional[google.cloud.aiplatform.models.Endpoint]=None,deployed_model_display_name:Optional[str]=None,traffic_percentage:Optional[int]=0,traffic_split:Optional[Dict[str,int]]=None,machine_type:Optional[str]=None,min_replica_count:Optional[int]=1,max_replica_count:Optional[int]=1,accelerator_type:Optional[str]=None,accelerator_count:Optional[int]=None,explanation_metadata:Optional[google.cloud.aiplatform_v1beta1.types.explanation_metadata.ExplanationMetadata]=None,explanation_parameters:Optional[google.cloud.aiplatform_v1beta1.types.explanation.ExplanationParameters]=None,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
NameDescription
endpoint"Endpoint"

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

deployed_model_display_namestr

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

traffic_percentageint

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_splitDict[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_typestr

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

min_replica_countint

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_countint

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_typestr

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, TPU_V2, TPU_V3

accelerator_countint

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

explanation_metadataexplain.ExplanationMetadata

Optional. Metadata describing the Model's input and output for explanation. Bothexplanation_metadata andexplanation_parameters must be passed together when used. For more details, seeRef docs <http://tinyurl.com/1igh60kt>

explanation_parametersexplain.ExplanationParameters

Optional. Parameters to configure explaining for Model's predictions. For more details, seeRef docs <http://tinyurl.com/1an4zake>

metadataSequence[Tuple[str, str]]

Optional. Strings which should be sent along with the request as metadata.

encryption_spec_key_nameOptional[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.
