Bases: object

Handle end-to-end Amazon SageMaker training and deployment tasks.

For introduction to model training and deployment, see http://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/how-it-works-training.html

Subclasses must define a way to determine what image to use for training, what hyperparameters to use, and how to create an appropriate predictor instance.

Initialize an EstimatorBase instance.

Parameters:
  • role (str) – An AWS IAM role (either name or full ARN). The Amazon SageMaker training jobs and APIs that create Amazon SageMaker endpoints use this role to access training data and model artifacts. After the endpoint is created, the inference code might use the IAM role, if it needs to access an AWS resource.
  • train_instance_count (int) – Number of Amazon EC2 instances to use for training.
  • train_instance_type (str) – Type of EC2 instance to use for training, for example, ‘ml.c4.xlarge’.
  • train_volume_size (int) – Size in GB of the EBS volume to use for storing input data during training (default: 30). Must be large enough to store training data if File Mode is used (which is the default).
  • train_volume_kms_key (str) – Optional. KMS key ID for encrypting EBS volume attached to the training instance (default: None).
  • train_max_run (int) – Timeout in seconds for training (default: 24 * 60 * 60). After this amount of time Amazon SageMaker terminates the job regardless of its current status.
  • input_mode (str) – The input mode that the algorithm supports (default: ‘File’). Valid modes: ‘File’ - Amazon SageMaker copies the training dataset from the S3 location to a local directory. ‘Pipe’ - Amazon SageMaker streams data directly from S3 to the container via a Unix-named pipe. This argument can be overriden on a per-channel basis using sagemaker.session.s3_input.input_mode.
  • output_path (str) – S3 location for saving the training result (model artifacts and output files). If not specified, results are stored to a default bucket. If the bucket with the specific name does not exist, the estimator creates the bucket during the fit() method execution.
  • output_kms_key (str) – Optional. KMS key ID for encrypting the training output (default: None).
  • base_job_name (str) – Prefix for training job name when the fit() method launches. If not specified, the estimator generates a default job name, based on the training image name and current timestamp.
  • sagemaker_session (sagemaker.session.Session) – Session object which manages interactions with Amazon SageMaker APIs and any other AWS services needed. If not specified, the estimator creates one using the default AWS configuration chain.
  • tags (list[dict]) – List of tags for labeling a training job. For more, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/API_Tag.html.
  • subnets (list[str]) – List of subnet ids. If not specified training job will be created without VPC config.
  • security_group_ids (list[str]) – List of security group ids. If not specified training job will be created without VPC config.
  • model_uri (str) –

    URI where a pre-trained model is stored, either locally or in S3 (default: None). If specified, the estimator will create a channel pointing to the model so the training job can download it. This model can be a ‘model.tar.gz’ from a previous training job, or other artifacts coming from a different source.

    In local mode, this should point to the path in which the model is located and not the file itself, as local Docker containers will try to mount the URI as a volume.

    More information: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/cdf-training.html#td-deserialization

  • model_channel_name (str) – Name of the channel where ‘model_uri’ will be downloaded (default: ‘model’).
  • metric_definitions (list[dict]) – A list of dictionaries that defines the metric(s) used to evaluate the training jobs. Each dictionary contains two keys: ‘Name’ for the name of the metric, and ‘Regex’ for the regular expression used to extract the metric from the logs. This should be defined only for jobs that don’t use an Amazon algorithm.
  • encrypt_inter_container_traffic (bool) – Specifies whether traffic between training containers is encrypted for the training job (default: False).

class sagemaker.estimator.Framework(entry_point, source_dir=None, hyperparameters=None, enable_cloudwatch_metrics=False, container_log_level=20, code_location=None, image_name=None, dependencies=None, enable_network_isolation=False, git_config=None, **kwargs)

Bases: sagemaker.estimator.EstimatorBase

Base class that cannot be instantiated directly.

Subclasses define functionality pertaining to specific ML frameworks, such as training/deployment images and predictor instances.

Base class initializer. Subclasses which override __init__ should invoke super()

Parameters:
  • entry_point (str) –

    Path (absolute or relative) to the local Python source file which should be executed as the entry point to training. This should be compatible with either Python 2.7 or Python 3.5. If ‘git_config’ is provided, ‘entry_point’ should be a relative location to the Python source file in the Git repo. .. rubric:: Example

    With the following GitHub repo directory structure:

    >>> |----- README.md
    >>> |----- src
    >>>         |----- train.py
    >>>         |----- test.py
    

    You can assign entry_point=’src/train.py’.

  • git_config (dict[str, str]) –

    Git configurations used for cloning files, including ‘repo’, ‘branch’ and ‘commit’ (default: None). ‘branch’ and ‘commit’ are optional. If ‘branch’ is not specified, ‘master’ branch will be used. If ‘commit’ is not specified, the latest commit in the required branch will be used. .. rubric:: Example

    The following config:

    >>> git_config = {'repo': 'https://github.com/aws/sagemaker-python-sdk.git',
    >>>               'branch': 'test-branch-git-config',
    >>>               'commit': '329bfcf884482002c05ff7f44f62599ebc9f445a'}
    

    results in cloning the repo specified in ‘repo’, then checkout the ‘master’ branch, and checkout the specified commit.

  • source_dir (str) –

    Path (absolute or relative) to a directory with any other training source code dependencies aside from the entry point file (default: None). Structure within this directory are preserved when training on Amazon SageMaker. If ‘git_config’ is provided, ‘source_dir’ should be a relative location to a directory in the Git repo. .. rubric:: Example

    With the following GitHub repo directory structure:

    >>> |----- README.md
    >>> |----- src
    >>>         |----- train.py
    >>>         |----- test.py
    

    and you need ‘train.py’ as entry point and ‘test.py’ as training source code as well, you can assign entry_point=’train.py’, source_dir=’src’.

  • hyperparameters (dict) – Hyperparameters that will be used for training (default: None). The hyperparameters are made accessible as a dict[str, str] to the training code on SageMaker. For convenience, this accepts other types for keys and values, but str() will be called to convert them before training.
  • enable_cloudwatch_metrics (bool) – [DEPRECATED] Now there are cloudwatch metrics emitted by all SageMaker training jobs. This will be ignored for now and removed in a further release.
  • container_log_level (int) – Log level to use within the container (default: logging.INFO). Valid values are defined in the Python logging module.
  • code_location (str) – The S3 prefix URI where custom code will be uploaded (default: None). The code file uploaded in S3 is ‘code_location/source/sourcedir.tar.gz’. If not specified, the default code location is s3://default_bucket/job-name/. And code file uploaded to S3 is s3://default_bucket/job-name/source/sourcedir.tar.gz
  • image_name (str) – An alternate image name to use instead of the official Sagemaker image for the framework. This is useful to run one of the Sagemaker supported frameworks with an image containing custom dependencies.
  • dependencies (list[str]) –

    A list of paths to directories (absolute or relative) with any additional libraries that will be exported to the container (default: []). The library folders will be copied to SageMaker in the same folder where the entrypoint is copied. If ‘git_config’ is provided, ‘dependencies’ should be a list of relative locations to directories with any additional libraries needed in the Git repo. .. rubric:: Example

    The following call >>> Estimator(entry_point=’train.py’, dependencies=[‘my/libs/common’, ‘virtual-env’]) results in the following inside the container:

    >>> $ ls
    
    >>> opt/ml/code
    >>>     |------ train.py
    >>>     |------ common
    >>>     |------ virtual-env
    
  • enable_network_isolation (bool) – Specifies whether container will run in network isolation mode. Network isolation mode restricts the container access to outside networks (such as the internet). The container does not make any inbound or outbound network calls. If True, a channel named “code” will be created for any user entry script for training. The user entry script, files in source_dir (if specified), and dependencies will be uploaded in a tar to S3. Also known as internet-free mode (default: False).
  • **kwargs – Additional kwargs passed to the EstimatorBase constructor.

classmethod attach(training_job_name, sagemaker_session=None, model_channel_name='model')

Attach to an existing training job.

Create an Estimator bound to an existing training job, each subclass is responsible to implement _prepare_init_params_from_job_description() as this method delegates the actual conversion of a training job description to the arguments that the class constructor expects. After attaching, if the training job has a Complete status, it can be deploy() ed to create a SageMaker Endpoint and return a Predictor.

If the training job is in progress, attach will block and display log messages from the training job, until the training job completes.

Parameters:
  • training_job_name (str) – The name of the training job to attach to.
  • sagemaker_session (sagemaker.session.Session) – Session object which manages interactions with Amazon SageMaker APIs and any other AWS services needed. If not specified, the estimator creates one using the default AWS configuration chain.
  • model_channel_name (str) – Name of the channel where pre-trained model data will be downloaded (default: ‘model’). If no channel with the same name exists in the training job, this option will be ignored.

Examples

>>> my_estimator.fit(wait=False)
>>> training_job_name = my_estimator.latest_training_job.name
Later on:
>>> attached_estimator = Estimator.attach(training_job_name)
>>> attached_estimator.deploy()
Returns:Instance of the calling Estimator Class with the attached training job.

fit(inputs=None, wait=True, logs=True, job_name=None)

Train a model using the input training dataset.

The API calls the Amazon SageMaker CreateTrainingJob API to start model training. The API uses configuration you provided to create the estimator and the specified input training data to send the CreatingTrainingJob request to Amazon SageMaker.

This is a synchronous operation. After the model training successfully completes, you can call the deploy() method to host the model using the Amazon SageMaker hosting services.

Parameters:
  • inputs (str or dict or sagemaker.session.s3_input) –

    Information about the training data. This can be one of three types:

    • (str) the S3 location where training data is saved.
    • (dict[str, str] or dict[str, sagemaker.session.s3_input]) If using multiple channels for
      training data, you can specify a dict mapping channel names to strings or s3_input() objects.
    • (sagemaker.session.s3_input) - channel configuration for S3 data sources that can provide
      additional information as well as the path to the training dataset. See sagemaker.session.s3_input() for full details.
  • wait (bool) – Whether the call should wait until the job completes (default: True).
  • logs (bool) – Whether to show the logs produced by the job. Only meaningful when wait is True (default: True).
  • job_name (str) – Training job name. If not specified, the estimator generates a default job name, based on the training image name and current timestamp.
get_vpc_config(vpc_config_override='VPC_CONFIG_DEFAULT')

Returns VpcConfig dict either from this Estimator’s subnets and security groups, or else validate and return an optional override value.

model_data

str – The model location in S3. Only set if Estimator has been fit().
