az ml model

Note

This reference is part of the ml extension for the Azure CLI (version 2.15.0 or higher). The extension will automatically install the first time you run an az ml model command. Learn more about extensions.

Manage Azure ML models.

Azure ML models consist of the binary file(s) that represent a machine learning model and any corresponding metadata. These models can be used in endpoint deployments for real-time and batch inference.

Commands

az ml model archive	Archive a model.
az ml model create	Create a model.
az ml model download	Download all model-related files.
az ml model list	List models in a workspace/registry. If you are using a registry, replace --workspace-name my-workspace with the --registry-name <registry-name> option.
az ml model restore	Restore an archived model.
az ml model show	Show details for a model in a workspace/registry. If you are using a registry, replace --workspace-name my-workspace with the --registry-name <registry-name> option.
az ml model update	Update a model in a workspace/registry.

az ml model archive

Archive a model.

Archiving a model will hide it by default from list queries (az ml model list). You can still continue to reference and use an archived model in your workflows. You can archive either a model container or a specific model version. Archiving a model container will archive all versions of the model under that given name. You can restore an archived model using az ml model restore. If the entire model container is archived, you cannot restore individual versions of the model - you will need to restore the model container.

az ml model archive --name
                    [--label]
                    [--registry-name]
                    [--resource-group]
                    [--version]
                    [--workspace-name]

Examples

Archive a model container (archives all versions of that model)

az ml model archive --name my-model --resource-group my-resource-group --workspace-name my-workspace

Archive a specific model version

az ml model archive --name my-model --version 1 --resource-group my-resource-group --workspace-name my-workspace

Required Parameters

--name -n

Name of the model.

Optional Parameters

--label -l

Label of the model.

--registry-name

If provided, the command will target the registry instead of a workspace. Hence resource group and workspace won't be required.

Name of resource group. You can configure the default group using az configure --defaults group=<name>.

--version -v

Version of the model.

--workspace-name -w

Name of the Azure ML workspace. You can configure the default group using az configure --defaults workspace=<name>.

az ml model create

Create a model.

Models can be created from a local file, local directory, datastore or job outputs. The created model will be tracked in the workspace/registry under the specified name and version. If you are using a registry, replace --workspace-name my-workspace with the --registry-name <registry-name> option.

You cannot restore only a specific model version if the entire model container is archived - you will need to restore the entire container. If only an individual model version was archived, you can restore that specific version.

az ml model restore --name
                    [--label]
                    [--registry-name]
