Adding an Artifact

Add an artifact to a deployment in the OCI Generative AI service.

Add an artifact to introduce a new container image version (repository and version tag) for an existing deployment. When you add an artifact, it’s created in an inactive state. You can activate an artifact to make it the running version for the deployment.

Similar to Preparing Container Images, you can rebuild the container image from your code with a new version tag and push it to the container registry before adding it as an artifact.

This task documents the steps for adding an artifact by using the Oracle Cloud Console.

Tip

After you add an artifact, you can activate it from the artifact Actions menu (three dots). Only one artifact can be active at a time. When you activate a new artifact, the artifact that was active before becomes inactive. You can delete only inactive artifacts. For more information, see Listing artifacts.

To add an artifact, follow these steps:

  1. Open the navigation menu  and select Analytics & AI. Under AI Services, select Generative AI.
  2. Under Generative AI, select Applications.
  3. Select the application that contains the deployment you want to add an artifact to. If you need help finding the list page, see Listing applications.
  4. In the application's detail page, select the Deployments tab.
  5. Select the deployment that you want to add an artifact to. If you need help finding deployments, see Listing deployments.
  6. In the deployment details page, select Add artifact.
  7. Select the repository compartment, repository, and version tag for the container image.
  8. Select Add artifact.

    The new artifact is added in an inactive state. To activate this artifact, see Activating an Artifact.
