Model Naming Requirements
Model names map onto Kubernetes objects, and must be DNS compliant. The strings for model names must lower case ASCII alpha-numeric characters or dash (-) only. .
and _
are not allowed.
Wallaroo supports SKLearn models by containerizing the model and running as an image.
Sci-kit Learn aka SKLearn.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Web Site | https://scikit-learn.org/stable/index.html |
Supported Libraries |
|
Framework | Framework.SKLEARN aka sklearn |
Runtime | onnx / flight |
During the model upload process, the Wallaroo instance will attempt to convert the model to a Native Wallaroo Runtime. If unsuccessful based , it will create a Wallaroo Containerized Runtime for the model. See the model deployment section for details on how to configure pipeline resources based on the model’s runtime.
SKLearn Schema Inputs
SKLearn schema follows a different format than other models. To prevent inputs from being out of order, the inputs should be submitted in a single row in the order the model is trained to accept, with all of the data types being the same. For example, the following DataFrame has 4 columns, each column a float
.
sepal length (cm) | sepal width (cm) | petal length (cm) | petal width (cm) | |
---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 5.1 | 3.5 | 1.4 | 0.2 |
1 | 4.9 | 3.0 | 1.4 | 0.2 |
For submission to an SKLearn model, the data input schema will be a single array with 4 float values.
input_schema = pa.schema([
pa.field('inputs', pa.list_(pa.float64(), list_size=4))
])
When submitting as an inference, the DataFrame is converted to rows with the column data expressed as a single array. The data must be in the same order as the model expects, which is why the data is submitted as a single array rather than JSON labeled columns: this insures that the data is submitted in the exact order as the model is trained to accept.
Original DataFrame:
sepal length (cm) | sepal width (cm) | petal length (cm) | petal width (cm) | |
---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 5.1 | 3.5 | 1.4 | 0.2 |
1 | 4.9 | 3.0 | 1.4 | 0.2 |
Converted DataFrame:
inputs | |
---|---|
0 | [5.1, 3.5, 1.4, 0.2] |
1 | [4.9, 3.0, 1.4, 0.2] |
SKLearn Schema Outputs
Outputs for SKLearn that are meant to be predictions
or probabilities
when output by the model are labeled in the output schema for the model when uploaded to Wallaroo. For example, a model that outputs either 1 or 0 as its output would have the output schema as follows:
output_schema = pa.schema([
pa.field('predictions', pa.int32())
])
When used in Wallaroo, the inference result is contained in the out
metadata as out.predictions
.
pipeline.infer(dataframe)
time | in.inputs | out.predictions | check_failures | |
---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 2023-07-05 15:11:29.776 | [5.1, 3.5, 1.4, 0.2] | 0 | 0 |
1 | 2023-07-05 15:11:29.776 | [4.9, 3.0, 1.4, 0.2] | 0 | 0 |
Uploading SKLearn Models
SKLearn models are uploaded to Wallaroo through the Wallaroo Client upload_model
method.
Upload SKLearn Model Parameters
The following parameters are required for SKLearn models. Note that while some fields are considered as optional for the upload_model
method, they are required for proper uploading of a SKLearn model to Wallaroo.
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
name | string (Required) | The name of the model. Model names are unique per workspace. Models that are uploaded with the same name are assigned as a new version of the model. |
path | string (Required) | The path to the model file being uploaded. |
framework | string (Required) | Set as the Framework.SKLEARN . |
input_schema | pyarrow.lib.Schema (Required) | The input schema in Apache Arrow schema format. |

arch | wallaroo.engine_config.Architecture | The architecture the model is deployed to. If a model is intended for deployment to an ARM architecture, it must be specified during this step. Values include: X86 (Default): x86 based architectures. ARM : ARM based architectures. |
Once the upload process starts, the model is containerized by the Wallaroo instance. This process may take up to 10 minutes.
Model Config Options
Model version configurations are updated with the wallaroo.model_version.config
and include the following parameters. Most are optional unless specified.
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
runtime | String (Optional) | The model runtime from wallaroo.framework. } |
tensor_fields | (List[string]) (Optional) | A list of alternate input fields. For example, if the model accepts the input fields ['variable1', 'variable2'] , tensor_fields allows those inputs to be overridden to ['square_feet', 'house_age'] , or other values as required. |

Pipeline Deployment Configurations
Pipeline deployments allocate resources from the cluster to the pipeline and its models with the wallaroo.pipeline.deploy(deployment_config: Optional[wallaroo.deployment_config.DeploymentConfig])
method. The wallaroo.deployment_config.DeploymentConfig.DeploymentConfigBuilder
class creates DeploymentConfig
settings such as the number of CPUs, the amount of RAM, the architecture, etc. For full details, see the Pipeline deployment configurations guides.
The settings for a pipeline configuration are dependent on whether the model is converted to the Native Runtime space, or Containerized Model Runtime space during the model upload process. The method wallaroo.model_config.runtime()
displays which runtime the uploaded model was converted to.
Runtime | Type | Pipeline Deployment Details |
---|---|---|
onnx | Wallaroo Native | See Native Runtime Configuration Methods |
flight | Wallaroo Container | See Containerized Runtime Configuration Methods |
Wallaroo Native Runtime Deployment
Wallaroo Native Runtime models typically use the following settings for pipeline resource allocation. See See Native Runtime Configuration Methods for complete options.
Resource | Method | Description | |
---|---|---|---|
Replicas | wallaroo.deployment_config.DeploymentConfigBuilder.replica_count(count: int) | The number of replicas of the Wallaroo Native pipeline resources to allocate. Each replica has the same number of cpus, ram, etc. For example: DeploymentConfigBuilder.replica_count(2) | |
Auto-allocated replicas | wallaroo.deployment_config.DeploymentConfigBuilder.replica_autoscale_min_max(maximum: int, minimum: int = 0) | Replicas that will auto-allocate more replicas to the pipeline from 0 to the set maximum as more inference requests are made. | |
CPU | wallaroo.deployment_config.DeploymentConfigBuilder.cpus(core_count: float) | Fractional number of cpus to allocate. For example: DeploymentConfigBuilder.cpus(0.5) | |
Memory | wallaroo.deployment_config.DeploymentConfigBuilder.memory(memory_spec: string) | Memory resources in Kubernetes Memory resource units | |
GPUs | wallaroo.deployment_config.DeploymentConfigBuilder.gpus(core_count: int) | Number of GPU’s to deploy; GPUs can only be deployed in whole increments. If used, must be paired with the deployment_label pipeline configuration option. | |
Deployment Label | wallaroo.deployment_config.DeploymentConfigBuilder.deployment_label(label:string) | Required if gpus are set and must match the GPU nodepool label. |
The following example shows deploying a Native Wallaroo Runtime model with the pipeline configuration of one replica, half a cpu and 1 Gi of RAM.
Note that for native runtime models, total pipeline resources are shared by all the native runtime models for each replica.
model.config().runtime()
'onnx'
# add the model as a pipeline step
pipeline.add_model_step(model)
# DeploymentConfigBuilder is used to create the pipeline's deployment configuration object
from wallaroo.deployment_config import DeploymentConfigBuilder
# deploy using native runtime deployment
deployment_config_native = DeploymentConfigBuilder() \
.replica_count(1) \
.cpus(0.5) \
.memory('1Gi') \
.build()
# deploy the pipeline with the pipeline configuration
pipeline.deploy(deployment_config=deployment_config_native)
Wallaroo Containerized Runtime Deployment
Wallaroo Containerized Runtime models typically use the following settings for pipeline resource allocation. See See Containerized Runtime Configuration Methods for complete options.
Containerized Runtime models resources are allocated with the sidekick
name, with the containerized model specified for resources.
Resource | Method | Description | |
---|---|---|---|
Replicas | wallaroo.deployment_config.DeploymentConfigBuilder.replica_count(count: int) | The number of replicas of the Wallaroo Native pipeline resources to allocate. Each replica has the same number of cpus, ram, etc. | |
Auto-allocated replicas | wallaroo.deployment_config.DeploymentConfigBuilder.replica_autoscale_min_max(maximum: int, minimum: int = 0) | Replicas that will auto-allocate more replicas to the pipeline from 0 to the set maximum as more inference requests are made. | |
CPU | wallaroo.deployment_config.DeploymentConfigBuilder.sidekick_cpus(model: wallaroo.model.Model, core_count: float) | Fractional number of cpus to allocate for the containerized model. | |
Memory | wallaroo.deployment_config.DeploymentConfigBuilder.sidekick_memory(model: wallaroo.model.Model, memory_spec: string) | Memory resources in Kubernetes Memory resource units | |
GPUs | wallaroo.deployment_config.DeploymentConfigBuilder.sidekick_gpus(model: wallaroo.model.Model, core_count: int) | Number of GPU’s to deploy; GPUs can only be deployed in whole increments. If used, must be paired with the deployment_label pipeline configuration option. | |
Deployment Label | wallaroo.deployment_config.DeploymentConfigBuilder.deployment_label(label:string) | Required if gpus are set and must match the GPU nodepool label. |
The following example shows deploying a Containerized Wallaroo Runtime model with the pipeline configuration of one replica, half a cpu and 1 Gi of RAM.
Note that for containerized models, each containerized model’s resources are set independently of each other and duplicated for each pipeline replica, and are considered separate from the native runtime models.
model_native.config().runtime()
'onnx'
model_containerized.config().runtime()
'flight'
# add the models as a pipeline steps
pipeline.add_model_step(model_native)
pipeline.add_model_step(model_containerized)
# DeploymentConfigBuilder is used to create the pipeline's deployment configuration object
from wallaroo.deployment_config import DeploymentConfigBuilder
# deploy using containerized runtime deployment
deployment_config_containerized = DeploymentConfigBuilder() \
.replica_count(1) \
.cpus(0.5) \ # shared by the native runtime models
.memory('1Gi') \ # shared by the native runtime models
.sidekick_cpus(model_containerized, 0.5) \ # 0.5 cpu allocated solely for the containerized model
.sidekick_memory(model_containerized, '1Gi') \ #1 Gi allocated solely for the containerized model
.build()
# deploy the pipeline with the pipeline configuration
pipeline.deploy(deployment_config=deployment_config_containerized)
Pipeline Deployment Timeouts
Pipeline deployments typically take 45 seconds for Wallaroo Native Runtimes, and 90 seconds for Wallaroo Containerized Runtimes.
If Wallaroo Pipeline deployment times out from a very large or complex ML model being deployed, the timeout is extended from with the wallaroo.Client.Client(request_timeout:int)
setting, where request_timeout
is in integer seconds. Wallaroo Native Runtime deployments are scaled at 1x the request_timeout
setting. Wallaroo Containerized Runtimes are scaled at 2x the request_timeout
setting.
The following example shows extending the request_timeout
to 2 minutes.
wl = wallaroo.Client(request_timeout=120)
wl.timeout
120
