Note: The plugin is experimental and may be changed or removed in the future.

Installation

python3 -m pip install google_cloud_mlflow

Deployment plugin usage

Command-line

Create deployment

mlflow deployments create --target google_cloud --name "deployment name" --model-uri "models:/mymodel/mymodelversion" --config destination_image_uri="gcr.io/<repo>/<path>"

List deployments

mlflow deployments list --target google_cloud

Get deployment

mlflow deployments get --target google_cloud --name "deployment name"

Delete deployment

mlflow deployments delete --target google_cloud --name "deployment name"

Update deployment

mlflow deployments update --target google_cloud --name "deployment name" --model-uri "models:/mymodel/mymodelversion" --config destination_image_uri="gcr.io/<repo>/<path>"

Predict

mlflow deployments predict --target google_cloud --name "deployment name" --input-path "inputs.json" --output-path "outputs.json

Get help

mlflow deployments help --target google_cloud

Python

from mlflow import deployments
client = deployments.get_deploy_client("google_cloud")

Model Registry plugin usage

Set the MLflow Model Registry URI to a directory in some Google Cloud Storage bucket, then log models using mlflow.log_model as usual.
