New-SMEndpointConfig Cmdlet

Creates an endpoint configuration that SageMaker hosting services uses to deploy models. In the configuration, you identify one or more models, created using the CreateModel API, to deploy and the resources that you want SageMaker to provision. Then you call the CreateEndpoint API. Use this API if you want to use SageMaker hosting services to deploy models into production. In the request, you define a ProductionVariant, for each model that you want to deploy. Each ProductionVariant parameter also describes the resources that you want SageMaker to provision. This includes the number and type of ML compute instances to deploy. If you are hosting multiple models, you also assign a VariantWeight 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. SageMaker distributes two-thirds of the traffic to Model A, and one-third to model B. When you call CreateEndpoint, a load call is made to DynamoDB to verify that your endpoint configuration exists. When you read data from a DynamoDB table supporting Eventually Consistent Reads, the response might not reflect the results of a recently completed write operation. The response might include some stale data. If the dependent entities are not yet in DynamoDB, this causes a validation error. If you repeat your read request after a short time, the response should return the latest data. So retry logic is recommended to handle these possible issues. We also recommend that customers call DescribeEndpointConfig before calling CreateEndpoint to minimize the potential impact of a DynamoDB eventually consistent read.
