Configure and create an endpoint

Create a new endpoint configuration to fit your model, and use this configuration to create the endpoint. You can use the model container validated in the pre-check step to create an endpoint and enable the SageMaker Clarify online explainability feature.

Use the sagemaker_client object to create an endpoint using the CreateEndpointConfig API. Set the member ClarifyExplainerConfig inside the ExplainerConfig parameter as follows:

sagemaker_client.create_endpoint_config(
    EndpointConfigName='name-of-your-endpoint-config',
    ExplainerConfig={
        'ClarifyExplainerConfig': {
            'EnableExplanations': '`true`',
            'InferenceConfig': {
                ...
            },
            'ShapConfig': {
                ...
            }
        },
    },
    ProductionVariants=[{
        'VariantName': 'AllTraffic',
        'ModelName': 'name-of-your-model',
        'InitialInstanceCount': 1,
        'InstanceType': 'ml.m5.xlarge',
    }]
     ...
)
sagemaker_client.create_endpoint(
    EndpointName='name-of-your-endpoint',
    EndpointConfigName='name-of-your-endpoint-config'
)

The first call to the sagemaker_client object creates a new endpoint configuration with the explainability feature enabled. The second call uses the endpoint configuration to launch the endpoint.
