# VariantProperty
Specifies a production variant property type for an Endpoint.
If you are updating an endpoint with the `RetainAllVariantProperties` option of [UpdateEndpointInput](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/APIReference/API_UpdateEndpoint.html) set to `true`, the `VariantProperty` objects listed in the `ExcludeRetainedVariantProperties` parameter of [UpdateEndpointInput](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/APIReference/API_UpdateEndpoint.html) override the existing variant properties of the endpoint.
