AksEndpoint Class

Note

This is an experimental class, and may change at any time. Please see https://aka.ms/azuremlexperimental for more information.

Represents a collection of web service versions behind the same endpoint running on Azure Kubernetes Service.

Whereas a AksWebservice deploys a single service with a single scoring endpoint, the AksEndpoint class enables you to deploy multiple web service versions behind the same scoring endpoint. Each web service version can be configured to serve a percentage of the traffic so you can deploy models in a controlled fashion, for example, for A/B testing. The AksEndpoint allows deployment from a model object similar to AksWebservice.

Initialize the Webservice instance.

The Webservice constructor retrieves a cloud representation of a Webservice object associated with the provided workspace. It will return an instance of a child class corresponding to the specific type of the retrieved Webservice object.
