Starts a transform job. A transform job uses a trained model to get inferences on a dataset and saves these results to an Amazon S3 location that you specify.
To perform batch transformations, you create a transform job and use the data that you have readily available.
In the request body, you provide the following:
TransformJobName
- Identifies the transform job. The name must be unique within an Amazon Web Services Region in an Amazon Web Services account.
ModelName
- Identifies the model to use. ModelName
must be the name of an existing Amazon SageMaker model in the same Amazon Web Services Region and Amazon Web Services account. For information on creating a model, see CreateModel .
TransformInput
- Describes the dataset to be transformed and the Amazon S3 location where it is stored.
TransformOutput
- Identifies the Amazon S3 location where you want Amazon SageMaker to save the results from the transform job.
TransformResources
- Identifies the ML compute instances for the transform job.
For more information about how batch transformation works, see Batch Transform .

--transform-job-name
(string)
The name of the transform job. The name must be unique within an Amazon Web Services Region in an Amazon Web Services account.
--model-name
(string)
The name of the model that you want to use for the transform job.
ModelName
must be the name of an existing Amazon SageMaker model within an Amazon Web Services Region in an Amazon Web Services account.
--max-concurrent-transforms
(integer)
The maximum number of parallel requests that can be sent to each instance in a transform job. If
MaxConcurrentTransforms
is set to0
or left unset, Amazon SageMaker checks the optional execution-parameters to determine the settings for your chosen algorithm. If the execution-parameters endpoint is not enabled, the default value is1
. For more information on execution-parameters, see How Containers Serve Requests . For built-in algorithms, you don’t need to set a value forMaxConcurrentTransforms
.
--model-client-config
(structure)
Configures the timeout and maximum number of retries for processing a transform job invocation.
InvocationsTimeoutInSeconds -> (integer)
The timeout value in seconds for an invocation request. The default value is 600.
InvocationsMaxRetries -> (integer)
The maximum number of retries when invocation requests are failing. The default value is 3.
Shorthand Syntax:
InvocationsTimeoutInSeconds=integer,InvocationsMaxRetries=integer
JSON Syntax:
{
"InvocationsTimeoutInSeconds": integer,
"InvocationsMaxRetries": integer
}
--max-payload-in-mb
(integer)
The maximum allowed size of the payload, in MB. A payload is the data portion of a record (without metadata). The value in
MaxPayloadInMB
must be greater than, or equal to, the size of a single record. To estimate the size of a record in MB, divide the size of your dataset by the number of records. To ensure that the records fit within the maximum payload size, we recommend using a slightly larger value. The default value is6
MB.The value of
MaxPayloadInMB
cannot be greater than 100 MB. If you specify theMaxConcurrentTransforms
parameter, the value of(MaxConcurrentTransforms * MaxPayloadInMB)
also cannot exceed 100 MB.For cases where the payload might be arbitrarily large and is transmitted using HTTP chunked encoding, set the value to
0
. This feature works only in supported algorithms. Currently, Amazon SageMaker built-in algorithms do not support HTTP chunked encoding.
--batch-strategy
(string)
Specifies the number of records to include in a mini-batch for an HTTP inference request. A record is a single unit of input data that inference can be made on. For example, a single line in a CSV file is a record.
To enable the batch strategy, you must set the
SplitType
property toLine
,RecordIO
, orTFRecord
.To use only one record when making an HTTP invocation request to a container, set
BatchStrategy
toSingleRecord
andSplitType
toLine
.To fit as many records in a mini-batch as can fit within the
MaxPayloadInMB
limit, setBatchStrategy
toMultiRecord
andSplitType
toLine
.Possible values:
MultiRecord
SingleRecord
--environment
(map)
The environment variables to set in the Docker container. We support up to 16 key and values entries in the map.

--transform-input
(structure)
Describes the input source and the way the transform job consumes it.
DataSource -> (structure)
Describes the location of the channel data, which is, the S3 location of the input data that the model can consume.
S3DataSource -> (structure)
The S3 location of the data source that is associated with a channel.
S3DataType -> (string)
If you choose
S3Prefix
,S3Uri
identifies a key name prefix. Amazon SageMaker uses all objects with the specified key name prefix for batch transform.If you choose
ManifestFile
,S3Uri
identifies an object that is a manifest file containing a list of object keys that you want Amazon SageMaker to use for batch transform.The following values are compatible:
ManifestFile
,S3Prefix
The following value is not compatible:
AugmentedManifestFile
S3Uri -> (string)
Depending on the value specified for the
S3DataType
, identifies either a key name prefix or a manifest. For example:
A key name prefix might look like this:
s3://bucketname/exampleprefix
.A manifest might look like this:
s3://bucketname/example.manifest
The manifest is an S3 object which is a JSON file with the following format:[ {"prefix": "s3://customer_bucket/some/prefix/"},
"relative/path/to/custdata-1",
"relative/path/custdata-2",
...
"relative/path/custdata-N"
]
The preceding JSON matches the followingS3Uris
:s3://customer_bucket/some/prefix/relative/path/to/custdata-1
s3://customer_bucket/some/prefix/relative/path/custdata-2
...
s3://customer_bucket/some/prefix/relative/path/custdata-N
The complete set ofS3Uris
in this manifest constitutes the input data for the channel for this datasource. The object that eachS3Uris
points to must be readable by the IAM role that Amazon SageMaker uses to perform tasks on your behalf.ContentType -> (string)
The multipurpose internet mail extension (MIME) type of the data. Amazon SageMaker uses the MIME type with each http call to transfer data to the transform job.
CompressionType -> (string)
If your transform data is compressed, specify the compression type. Amazon SageMaker automatically decompresses the data for the transform job accordingly. The default value is
None
.SplitType -> (string)
The method to use to split the transform job’s data files into smaller batches. Splitting is necessary when the total size of each object is too large to fit in a single request. You can also use data splitting to improve performance by processing multiple concurrent mini-batches. The default value for
SplitType
isNone
, which indicates that input data files are not split, and request payloads contain the entire contents of an input object. Set the value of this parameter toLine
to split records on a newline character boundary.SplitType
also supports a number of record-oriented binary data formats. Currently, the supported record formats are:
RecordIO
TFRecord
When splitting is enabled, the size of a mini-batch depends on the values of the
BatchStrategy
andMaxPayloadInMB
parameters. When the value ofBatchStrategy
isMultiRecord
, Amazon SageMaker sends the maximum number of records in each request, up to theMaxPayloadInMB
limit. If the value ofBatchStrategy
isSingleRecord
, Amazon SageMaker sends individual records in each request.Note
Some data formats represent a record as a binary payload wrapped with extra padding bytes. When splitting is applied to a binary data format, padding is removed if the value of
BatchStrategy
is set toSingleRecord
. Padding is not removed if the value ofBatchStrategy
is set toMultiRecord
.For more information about
RecordIO
, see Create a Dataset Using RecordIO in the MXNet documentation. For more information aboutTFRecord
, see Consuming TFRecord data in the TensorFlow documentation.Shorthand Syntax:

--transform-output
(structure)Describes the results of the transform job.
S3OutputPath -> (string)
The Amazon S3 path where you want Amazon SageMaker to store the results of the transform job. For example,
s3://bucket-name/key-name-prefix
.For every S3 object used as input for the transform job, batch transform stores the transformed data with an .``out`` suffix in a corresponding subfolder in the location in the output prefix. For example, for the input data stored at
s3://bucket-name/input-name-prefix/dataset01/data.csv
, batch transform stores the transformed data ats3://bucket-name/output-name-prefix/input-name-prefix/data.csv.out
. Batch transform doesn’t upload partially processed objects. For an input S3 object that contains multiple records, it creates an .``out`` file only if the transform job succeeds on the entire file. When the input contains multiple S3 objects, the batch transform job processes the listed S3 objects and uploads only the output for successfully processed objects. If any object fails in the transform job batch transform marks the job as failed to prompt investigation.Accept -> (string)
The MIME type used to specify the output data. Amazon SageMaker uses the MIME type with each http call to transfer data from the transform job.
AssembleWith -> (string)
Defines how to assemble the results of the transform job as a single S3 object. Choose a format that is most convenient to you. To concatenate the results in binary format, specify
None
. To add a newline character at the end of every transformed record, specifyLine
.KmsKeyId -> (string)
The Amazon Web Services Key Management Service (Amazon Web Services KMS) key that Amazon SageMaker uses to encrypt the model artifacts at rest using Amazon S3 server-side encryption. The
KmsKeyId
can be any of the following formats:
Key ID:
1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab
Key ARN:

--data-processing
(structure)The data structure used to specify the data to be used for inference in a batch transform job and to associate the data that is relevant to the prediction results in the output. The input filter provided allows you to exclude input data that is not needed for inference in a batch transform job. The output filter provided allows you to include input data relevant to interpreting the predictions in the output from the job. For more information, see Associate Prediction Results with their Corresponding Input Records .
InputFilter -> (string)
A JSONPath expression used to select a portion of the input data to pass to the algorithm. Use the
InputFilter
parameter to exclude fields, such as an ID column, from the input. If you want SageMaker to pass the entire input dataset to the algorithm, accept the default value$
.Examples:
"$"
,"$[1:]"
,"$.features"
OutputFilter -> (string)
A JSONPath expression used to select a portion of the joined dataset to save in the output file for a batch transform job. If you want SageMaker to store the entire input dataset in the output file, leave the default value,
$
. If you specify indexes that aren’t within the dimension size of the joined dataset, you get an error.Examples:
"$"
,"$[0,5:]"
,"$['id','SageMakerOutput']"
JoinSource -> (string)
Specifies the source of the data to join with the transformed data. The valid values are
None
andInput
. The default value isNone
, which specifies not to join the input with the transformed data. If you want the batch transform job to join the original input data with the transformed data, setJoinSource
toInput
. You can specifyOutputFilter
as an additional filter to select a portion of the joined dataset and store it in the output file.For JSON or JSONLines objects, such as a JSON array, SageMaker adds the transformed data to the input JSON object in an attribute called
SageMakerOutput
. The joined result for JSON must be a key-value pair object. If the input is not a key-value pair object, SageMaker creates a new JSON file. In the new JSON file, and the input data is stored under theSageMakerInput
key and the results are stored inSageMakerOutput
.For CSV data, SageMaker takes each row as a JSON array and joins the transformed data with the input by appending each transformed row to the end of the input. The joined data has the original input data followed by the transformed data and the output is a CSV file.
For information on how joining in applied, see Workflow for Associating Inferences with Input Records .

--cli-input-json
|--cli-input-yaml
(string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by--generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with--cli-input-yaml
.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the valueinput
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for--cli-input-json
. Similarly, if providedyaml-input
it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with--cli-input-yaml
. If provided with the valueoutput
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.Global Options¶
--debug
(boolean)Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url
(string)Override command’s default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl
