Amazon SageMaker Construct Library

---

cdk-constructs: Experimental

The APIs of higher level constructs in this module are experimental and under active development. They are subject to non-backward compatible changes or removal in any future version. These are not subject to the Semantic Versioning model and breaking changes will be announced in the release notes. This means that while you may use them, you may need to update your source code when upgrading to a newer version of this package.

Amazon SageMaker provides every developer and data scientist with the ability to build, train, and deploy machine learning models quickly. Amazon SageMaker is a fully-managed service that covers the entire machine learning workflow to label and prepare your data, choose an algorithm, train the model, tune and optimize it for deployment, make predictions, and take action. Your models get to production faster with much less effort and lower cost.

Model

To create a machine learning model with Amazon Sagemaker, use the Model construct. This construct includes properties that can be configured to define model components, including the model inference code as a Docker image and an optional set of separate model data artifacts. See the AWS documentation to learn more about SageMaker models.

Single Container Model

In the event that a single container is sufficient for your inference use-case, you can define a single-container model:

import aws_cdk.aws_sagemaker_alpha as sagemaker
import path as path


image = sagemaker.ContainerImage.from_asset(path.join("path", "to", "Dockerfile", "directory"))
model_data = sagemaker.ModelData.from_asset(path.join("path", "to", "artifact", "file.tar.gz"))

model = sagemaker.Model(self, "PrimaryContainerModel",
    containers=[sagemaker.ContainerDefinition(
        image=image,
        model_data=model_data
    )
    ]
)

Inference Pipeline Model

An inference pipeline is an Amazon SageMaker model that is composed of a linear sequence of multiple containers that process requests for inferences on data. See the AWS documentation to learn more about SageMaker inference pipelines. To define an inference pipeline, you can provide additional containers for your model:

import aws_cdk.aws_sagemaker_alpha as sagemaker

# image1: sagemaker.ContainerImage
# model_data1: sagemaker.ModelData
# image2: sagemaker.ContainerImage
# model_data2: sagemaker.ModelData
# image3: sagemaker.ContainerImage
# model_data3: sagemaker.ModelData


model = sagemaker.Model(self, "InferencePipelineModel",
    containers=[sagemaker.ContainerDefinition(image=image1, model_data=model_data1), sagemaker.ContainerDefinition(image=image2, model_data=model_data2), sagemaker.ContainerDefinition(image=image3, model_data=model_data3)
    ]
)

Container Images

Inference code can be stored in the Amazon EC2 Container Registry (Amazon ECR), which is specified via ContainerDefinition’s image property which accepts a class that extends the ContainerImage abstract base class.

Asset Image

Reference a local directory containing a Dockerfile:

import aws_cdk.aws_sagemaker_alpha as sagemaker
import path as path


image = sagemaker.ContainerImage.from_asset(path.join("path", "to", "Dockerfile", "directory"))

ECR Image

Reference an image available within ECR:

import aws_cdk.aws_ecr as ecr
import aws_cdk.aws_sagemaker_alpha as sagemaker


repository = ecr.Repository.from_repository_name(self, "Repository", "repo")
image = sagemaker.ContainerImage.from_ecr_repository(repository, "tag")

DLC Image

Reference a deep learning container image:

import aws_cdk.aws_sagemaker_alpha as sagemaker

repository_name = "huggingface-pytorch-training"
tag = "1.13.1-transformers4.26.0-gpu-py39-cu117-ubuntu20.04"

image = sagemaker.ContainerImage.from_dlc(repository_name, tag)

Model Artifacts

If you choose to decouple your model artifacts from your inference code (as is natural given different rates of change between inference code and model artifacts), the artifacts can be specified via the modelData property which accepts a class that extends the ModelData abstract base class. The default is to have no model artifacts associated with a model.

Asset Model Data

Reference local model data:

import aws_cdk.aws_sagemaker_alpha as sagemaker
import path as path


model_data = sagemaker.ModelData.from_asset(path.join("path", "to", "artifact", "file.tar.gz"))

S3 Model Data

Reference an S3 bucket and object key as the artifacts for a model:

import aws_cdk.aws_s3 as s3
import aws_cdk.aws_sagemaker_alpha as sagemaker


bucket = s3.Bucket(self, "MyBucket")
model_data = sagemaker.ModelData.from_bucket(bucket, "path/to/artifact/file.tar.gz")

Model Hosting

Amazon SageMaker provides model hosting services for model deployment. Amazon SageMaker provides an HTTPS endpoint where your machine learning model is available to provide inferences.

Endpoint Configuration

By using the EndpointConfig construct, you can define a set of endpoint configuration which can be used to provision one or more endpoints. In this configuration, you identify one or more models to deploy and the resources that you want Amazon SageMaker to provision. You define one or more production variants, each of which identifies a model. Each production variant also describes the resources that you want Amazon SageMaker to provision. If you are hosting multiple models, you also assign a variant weight to specify how much traffic you want to allocate to each model. For example, suppose that you want to host two models, A and B, and you assign traffic weight 2 for model A and 1 for model B. Amazon SageMaker distributes two-thirds of the traffic to Model A, and one-third to model B:

import aws_cdk.aws_sagemaker_alpha as sagemaker

# model_a: sagemaker.Model
# model_b: sagemaker.Model


endpoint_config = sagemaker.EndpointConfig(self, "EndpointConfig",
    instance_production_variants=[sagemaker.InstanceProductionVariantProps(
        model=model_a,
        variant_name="modelA",
        initial_variant_weight=2
    ), sagemaker.InstanceProductionVariantProps(
        model=model_b,
        variant_name="variantB",
        initial_variant_weight=1
    )
    ]
)

Endpoint

When you create an endpoint from an EndpointConfig, Amazon SageMaker launches the ML compute instances and deploys the model or models as specified in the configuration. To get inferences from the model, client applications send requests to the Amazon SageMaker Runtime HTTPS endpoint. For more information about the API, see the InvokeEndpoint API. Defining an endpoint requires at minimum the associated endpoint configuration:

import aws_cdk.aws_sagemaker_alpha as sagemaker

# endpoint_config: sagemaker.EndpointConfig

endpoint = sagemaker.Endpoint(self, "Endpoint", endpoint_config=endpoint_config)

AutoScaling

To enable autoscaling on the production variant, use the autoScaleInstanceCount method:

import aws_cdk.aws_sagemaker_alpha as sagemaker

# model: sagemaker.Model


variant_name = "my-variant"
endpoint_config = sagemaker.EndpointConfig(self, "EndpointConfig",
    instance_production_variants=[sagemaker.InstanceProductionVariantProps(
        model=model,
        variant_name=variant_name
    )
    ]
)

endpoint = sagemaker.Endpoint(self, "Endpoint", endpoint_config=endpoint_config)
production_variant = endpoint.find_instance_production_variant(variant_name)
instance_count = production_variant.auto_scale_instance_count(
    max_capacity=3
)
instance_count.scale_on_invocations("LimitRPS",
    max_requests_per_second=30
)

For load testing guidance on determining the maximum requests per second per instance, please see this documentation.

Metrics

To monitor CloudWatch metrics for a production variant, use one or more of the metric convenience methods:

import aws_cdk.aws_sagemaker_alpha as sagemaker

# endpoint_config: sagemaker.EndpointConfig


endpoint = sagemaker.Endpoint(self, "Endpoint", endpoint_config=endpoint_config)
production_variant = endpoint.find_instance_production_variant("my-variant")
production_variant.metric_model_latency().create_alarm(self, "ModelLatencyAlarm",
    threshold=100000,
    evaluation_periods=3
)
