Deploy NIM Microservice#

Deploy a NIM microservice.

Prerequisites#

Before you can deploy a NIM microservice, make sure that you have:

  • Access to the NeMo Deployment Management service through the NeMo platform host if you have installed the NeMo platform or the independent base URL if you have installed the service individually. Store the base URL in an environment variable DEPLOYMENT_SERVICE_URL.

  • Model details and deployment specifications you want to deploy. To find the models supported by NVIDIA NIM, see Models in the NVIDIA NIM for LLMs documentation.

Options#

You can deploy a NIM microservice in the following ways.

API#

  1. Submit a POST request to /v1/deployment/model-deployments.

    Use the following cURL command. For more details on the request body, see the Deployment Management API reference.

    curl -X POST \
  "${DEPLOYMENT_SERVICE_URL}/v1/deployment/model-deployments" \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
