Deployment types
There are three types of Deployments: standard, external, and registration.
Standard Deployments
A model, along with an optional explainer and/or transformer, is deployed on Deeploy using one of the available deployment services (KServe, SageMaker, or Azure Machine Learning). Standard Deployments must be connected to a Repository and come with an endpoint, allowing communication with the model to retrieve predictions and explanations. All functionalities are available for Standard Deployments.
External Deployments
A model deployed on external infrastructure is accessed through an external endpoint. External Deployments can optionally be connected to a Repository. While an endpoint is available to retrieve predictions, some functionalities, specifically explanation requests and container logs, are not supported for external Deployments.
Registration Deployments
Serves as documentation for a model. Registration Deployments can optionally be connected to a Repository. Select functionalities are available for registration Deployments, including model and data cards, metadata, and compliance documentation.
