# CreateInferenceExperiment
<a name="API_CreateInferenceExperiment"></a>

 Creates an inference experiment using the configurations specified in the request. 

 Use this API to setup and schedule an experiment to compare model variants on a Amazon SageMaker inference endpoint. For more information about inference experiments, see [Shadow tests](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/shadow-tests.html). 

 Amazon SageMaker begins your experiment at the scheduled time and routes traffic to your endpoint's model variants based on your specified configuration. 

 While the experiment is in progress or after it has concluded, you can view metrics that compare your model variants. For more information, see [View, monitor, and edit shadow tests](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/shadow-tests-view-monitor-edit.html).

## Request Parameters
<a name="API_CreateInferenceExperiment_RequestParameters"></a>

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Parameters](CommonParameters.md).

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

 ** [DataStorageConfig](#API_CreateInferenceExperiment_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="sagemaker-CreateInferenceExperiment-request-DataStorageConfig"></a>
 The Amazon S3 location and configuration for storing inference request and response data.   
 This is an optional parameter that you can use for data capture. For more information, see [Capture data](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/model-monitor-data-capture.html).   
Type: [InferenceExperimentDataStorageConfig](API_InferenceExperimentDataStorageConfig.md) object  
Required: No

 ** [Description](#API_CreateInferenceExperiment_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="sagemaker-CreateInferenceExperiment-request-Description"></a>
A description for the inference experiment.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 1024.  
Pattern: `.*`   
Required: No

 ** [EndpointName](#API_CreateInferenceExperiment_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="sagemaker-CreateInferenceExperiment-request-EndpointName"></a>
 The name of the Amazon SageMaker endpoint on which you want to run the inference experiment.   
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 63.  
Pattern: `[a-zA-Z0-9](-*[a-zA-Z0-9]){0,62}`   
Required: Yes

 ** [KmsKey](#API_CreateInferenceExperiment_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="sagemaker-CreateInferenceExperiment-request-KmsKey"></a>
 The AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) key that Amazon SageMaker uses to encrypt data on the storage volume attached to the ML compute instance that hosts the endpoint. The `KmsKey` can be any of the following formats:   
+ KMS key ID

   `"1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab"` 
+ Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a KMS key

   `"arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab"` 
+ KMS key Alias

   `"alias/ExampleAlias"` 
+ Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a KMS key Alias

   `"arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:alias/ExampleAlias"` 
 If you use a KMS key ID or an alias of your KMS key, the Amazon SageMaker execution role must include permissions to call `kms:Encrypt`. If you don't provide a KMS key ID, Amazon SageMaker uses the default KMS key for Amazon S3 for your role's account. Amazon SageMaker uses server-side encryption with KMS managed keys for `OutputDataConfig`. If you use a bucket policy with an `s3:PutObject` permission that only allows objects with server-side encryption, set the condition key of `s3:x-amz-server-side-encryption` to `"aws:kms"`. For more information, see [KMS managed Encryption Keys](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/UsingKMSEncryption.html) in the *Amazon Simple Storage Service Developer Guide.*   
 The KMS key policy must grant permission to the IAM role that you specify in your `CreateEndpoint` and `UpdateEndpoint` requests. For more information, see [Using Key Policies in AWS KMS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/key-policies.html) in the * AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide*.
