deploymentUri property

The Cloud Storage URI of a directory containing trained model artifacts to be used to create the model version.

See the [guide to deploying models](/ai-platform/prediction/docs/deploying-models) for more information. The total number of files under this directory must not exceed 1000. During projects.models.versions.create, AI Platform Prediction copies all files from the specified directory to a location managed by the service. From then on, AI Platform Prediction uses these copies of the model artifacts to serve predictions, not the original files in Cloud Storage, so this location is useful only as a historical record. If you specify container, then this field is optional. Otherwise, it is required. Learn [how to use this field with a custom container](/ai-platform/prediction/docs/custom-container-requirements#artifacts).
