name STRING Required

Required. The name of the version

description STRING

Optional. The description specified for the version when it was created

framework ENUMERATION

Optional. The machine learning framework AI Platform uses to train this version of the model. Valid values are TENSORFLOW, SCIKIT_LEARN, XGBOOST. If you do not specify a framework, AI Platform will analyze files in the deployment_uri to determine a framework. If you choose SCIKIT_LEARN or XGBOOST, you must also set the runtime version of the model to 1.4 or greater.

Do not specify a framework if you're deploying a custom prediction routine

etag BINARY

etag is used for optimistic concurrency control as a way to help prevent simultaneous updates of a model from overwriting each other. It is strongly suggested that systems make use of the etag in the read-modify-write cycle to perform model updates in order to avoid race conditions: An etag is returned in the response to GetVersion, and systems are expected to put that etag in the request to UpdateVersion to ensure that their change will be applied to the model as intended

isDefault BOOLEAN

Output only. If true, this version will be used to handle prediction requests that do not specify a version.

You can change the default version by calling projects.methods.versions.setDefault

state ENUMERATION

Output only. The state of a version

manualScaling OBJECT

Options for manually scaling a model

manualScaling.nodes INTEGER

The number of nodes to allocate for this model. These nodes are always up, starting from the time the model is deployed, so the cost of operating this model will be proportional to nodes * number of hours since last billing cycle plus the cost for each prediction performed

name STRING

Required.The name specified for the version when it was created.

The version name must be unique within the model it is created in

serviceAccount STRING

Optional. Specifies the service account for resource access control

pythonVersion STRING

Optional. The version of Python used in prediction. If not set, the default version is '2.7'. Python '3.5' is available when runtime_version is set to '1.4' and above. Python '2.7' works with all supported runtime versions

lastUseTime ANY

Output only. The time the version was last used for prediction

predictionClass STRING

Optional. The fully qualified name (module_name.class_name) of a class that implements the Predictor interface described in this reference field. The module containing this class should be included in a package provided to the packageUris field.

Specify this field if and only if you are deploying a custom prediction routine (beta). If you specify this field, you must set runtimeVersion to 1.4 or greater.

The following code sample provides the Predictor interface:

class Predictor(object):
"""Interface for constructing custom predictors."""

def predict(self, instances, **kwargs):
    """Performs custom prediction.

    Instances are the decoded values from the request. They have already
    been deserialized from JSON.

    Args:
        instances: A list of prediction input instances.
        **kwargs: A dictionary of keyword args provided as additional
            fields on the predict request body.

    Returns:
        A list of outputs containing the prediction results. This list must
        be JSON serializable.
    """
    raise NotImplementedError()

@classmethod
def from_path(cls, model_dir):
    """Creates an instance of Predictor using the given path.

    Loading of the predictor should be done in this method.

    Args:
        model_dir: The local directory that contains the exported model
            file along with any additional files uploaded when creating the
            version resource.

    Returns:
        An instance implementing this Predictor class.
    """
    raise NotImplementedError()

packageUris[] STRING

deploymentUri STRING

Required. The Cloud Storage location of the trained model used to create the version. See the guide to model deployment for more information.

When passing Version to projects.models.versions.create the model service uses the specified location as the source of the model. Once deployed, the model version is hosted by the prediction service, so this location is useful only as a historical record. The total number of model files can't exceed 1000

autoScaling OBJECT

Options for automatically scaling a model

autoScaling.minNodes INTEGER

Optional. The minimum number of nodes to allocate for this model. These nodes are always up, starting from the time the model is deployed. Therefore, the cost of operating this model will be at least rate * min_nodes * number of hours since last billing cycle, where rate is the cost per node-hour as documented in the pricing guide, even if no predictions are performed. There is additional cost for each prediction performed.

Unlike manual scaling, if the load gets too heavy for the nodes that are up, the service will automatically add nodes to handle the increased load as well as scale back as traffic drops, always maintaining at least min_nodes. You will be charged for the time in which additional nodes are used.

If not specified, min_nodes defaults to 0, in which case, when traffic to a model stops (and after a cool-down period), nodes will be shut down and no charges will be incurred until traffic to the model resumes.

You can set min_nodes when creating the model version, and you can also update min_nodes for an existing version:

HTTP request:

createTime ANY

Output only. The time the version was created

labels OBJECT

Optional. One or more labels that you can add, to organize your model versions. Each label is a key-value pair, where both the key and the value are arbitrary strings that you supply. For more information, see the documentation on using labels

labels.customKey.value STRING

Optional. One or more labels that you can add, to organize your model versions. Each label is a key-value pair, where both the key and the value are arbitrary strings that you supply. For more information, see the documentation on using labels

errorMessage STRING

Output only. The details of a failure or a cancellation

machineType STRING

Optional. The type of machine on which to serve the model. Currently only applies to online prediction service.

runtimeVersion STRING

Optional. The AI Platform runtime version to use for this deployment. If not set, AI Platform uses the default stable version, 1.0. For more information, see the runtime version list and how to manage runtime versions
