# Real-time inference
<a name="realtime-endpoints"></a>

 Real-time inference is ideal for inference workloads where you have real-time, interactive, low latency requirements. You can deploy your model to SageMaker AI hosting services and get an endpoint that can be used for inference. These endpoints are fully managed and support autoscaling (see [Automatic scaling of Amazon SageMaker AI models](endpoint-auto-scaling.md)). You can monitor individual instances and containers on your endpoints with enhanced metrics (see [Amazon SageMaker AI enhanced metrics for inference endpoints](monitoring-cloudwatch-enhanced-metrics.md)).
