Process flow for models in watsonx.governance on AWS
Model groups are children of use cases, and models are children of model groups.
Process flow
Watsonx.governance includes a predefined workflow for models, the Model Lifecycle workflow. You can customize the workflow to meet your business needs. This topic describes the predefined workflow. The Amazon SageMaker model lifecycle stages and statuses are updated by the workflow as shown in the following figure.
The Amazon SageMaker model lifecycle stages and statuses can be used for ML pipelines. For example, when development is complete, the workflow process progresses to the verification stage. At the same time, the model lifecycle stage and status are updated in Amazon SageMaker: Development stage with Complete status. You might use this status change, for example, to trigger a pipeline to promote the model to the test account for verification.
If a model is deleted or archived in Amazon SageMaker, that model is automatically decommissioned in watsonx.governance.
Model Status to Amazon SageMaker Model LifeCycle mapping
The model statuses in watsonx.governance are mapped to the model lifecycle stages and statuses as follows:
| watsonx.governance Model Status |
Amazon SageMaker Model Lifecycle Stage |
