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 batch-endpoint command. Learn more about extensions.

Manage Azure ML batch endpoints.

Azure ML endpoints provide a simple interface for creating and managing model deployments. Each endpoint can have one or more deployments. Batch endpoints are used for offline batch scoring.

az ml batch-endpoint create

Create an endpoint.

To create an endpoint, provide a YAML file with a batch endpoint configuration. If the endpoint already exists, it will be over-written with the new settings.

az ml batch-endpoint create --resource-group
                            --workspace-name
                            [--file]
                            [--name]
