Supported Storage Types¶

This library currently supports several places where you can save your models. You specify the storage type when you create a ModelStore instance:

Supported storage types¶
Storage	Requires	Example code
AWS s3	The name of an existing s3 bucket	AWS Example
Azure Container	The name of an existing container	Azure Example
Google Cloud Storage	The name of an existing bucket	Cloud Storage Example
File system	A path	File system Example

File system storage¶

The file system model storage assumes that (a) the root directory exists, and (b) the library user has permission to write to it.

If you want to create the root directory if it does not exist, pass along the create_directory=True argument.

model_store = ModelStore.from_file_system(
  root_directory="/path/to/directory",
  create_directory=True,
)

Read-only access¶

The three cloud storage types (AWS s3, Google GCS, Azure Containers) assume that (a) the bucket/container exists, and (b) the library user has both read and write permissions.

As of 0.0.74, modelstore also supports read-only access to public Google Cloud Storage buckets.
