1. AI Model Deployment Hostname Configuration

    Python

    In the context of deploying an AI model, the term "Hostname Configuration" often refers to the process of setting up a domain name through which the model's API can be accessed. This might involve provisioning a server or cloud service to host the model, configuring DNS records, and potentially setting up SSL/TLS for secure HTTPS access.

    Given Pulumi's infrastructure as code capabilities, you can automate the deployment of these resources. Below is a program written in Python that demonstrates how to do this on Azure, as Azure provides a straightforward way to deploy and manage such resources.

    The program will:

    1. Use Azure App Service to deploy a web app. The web app can host the API for AI model inference.
    2. Bind a custom hostname to the Azure App Service. This hostname will be the URL where users can send requests to your AI model.
    3. Configure an SSL binding for the custom hostname.

    For this example, let's assume you already have a domain name and an SSL certificate to secure the custom hostname.

    import pulumi import pulumi_azure_native as azure_native import pulumi_azure_native.web.v20201201 as web # Create an Azure Resource Group resource_group = azure_native.resources.ResourceGroup("resourceGroup") # Create an App Service Plan app_service_plan = web.AppServicePlan("appServicePlan", resource_group_name=resource_group.name, kind="Linux", reserved=True, # Required for Linux sku=web.SkuDescriptionArgs( name="B1", # Choose pricing tier suitable for your needs tier="Basic", )) # Create an App Service app_service = web.WebApp("appService", resource_group_name=resource_group.name, server_farm_id=app_service_plan.id, site_config=web.SiteConfigArgs( app_settings=[ web.NameValuePairArgs(name="WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_SERVICE_STORAGE", value="false"), # Additional environment variables can be set here ], # Choose the runtime stack appropriate for your AI model / API linux_fx_version="PYTHON|3.8", )) # Define Custom Hostname Binding for the App Service # Replace `custom_domain_name` with your domain and `ssl_thumbprint` with your SSL cert's thumbprint. custom_hostname_binding = web.HostNameBinding( "customHostnameBinding", domain_id=f"{app_service.id}/hostnames/{custom_domain_name}", host_name_type="Verified", # Use "Verified" once you have verified domain ownership resource_group_name=resource_group.name, site_name=app_service.name, ssl_state="SniEnabled", thumbprint=ssl_thumbprint) # Export the App Service default hostname pulumi.export("default_hostname", app_service.default_host_name) # Export the App Service custom hostname pulumi.export("custom_hostname", custom_hostname_binding.host_name)

    Here's what we have done:

    1. We've created an Azure Resource Group to organize all of our Azure resources.
    2. We've set up an App Service Plan, which is the underlying VM(s) that your App Service will run on. For simplicity's sake, we've chosen the "B1" SKU which is suitable for small applications or development/testing scenarios.
    3. We've instantiated an App Service, which is the PaaS offering from Azure where our AI model API will live. We've also chosen a Linux environment and specified the Python 3.8 runtime, appropriate for many AI/ML workloads.
    4. A custom hostname binding is created and bound to the App Service, enabling it to be reached at the custom domain that you provide.

    Remember to replace custom_domain_name with your actual domain name and ssl_thumbprint with the thumbprint of your SSL certificate before running this program.

    To run this code, you need to have Pulumi installed, and you should have configured the Azure provider credentials. Once you have Pulumi CLI set up, you can execute pulumi up to preview and deploy the changes.

    Please note that in an actual production environment, there will be additional considerations such as setting up continuous deployment, monitoring, scaling, and managing costs.
