ChannelSpecification - Amazon SageMaker
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

ChannelSpecification

Defines a named input source, called a channel, to be used by an algorithm.

Contents

Name

The name of the channel.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.

Pattern: [A-Za-z0-9\.\-_]+

Required: Yes

SupportedContentTypes

The supported MIME types for the data.

Type: Array of strings

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 256.

Pattern: .*

Required: Yes

SupportedInputModes

The allowed input mode, either FILE or PIPE.

In FILE mode, Amazon SageMaker copies the data from the input source onto the local Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes before starting your training algorithm. This is the most commonly used input mode.

In PIPE mode, Amazon SageMaker streams input data from the source directly to your algorithm without using the EBS volume.

Type: Array of strings

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item.

Valid Values: Pipe | File | FastFile

Required: Yes

Description

A brief description of the channel.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 1024.

Pattern: [\p{L}\p{M}\p{Z}\p{S}\p{N}\p{P}]*

Required: No

IsRequired

Indicates whether the channel is required by the algorithm.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

SupportedCompressionTypes

The allowed compression types, if data compression is used.

Type: Array of strings

Valid Values: None | Gzip

Required: No
