The following documentation assumes working knowledge of containerized infrastructure and concepts like container images. If you are unfamiliar with these topics, we recommend reviewing the Docker overview documentation ↗
Foundry allows users to package container images along with a model adapter to create a container-backed Model. The model is then consumable in Foundry as with non-container-backed models. Container-backed models are particularly useful if the models are especially large, pre-trained, written in a language Foundry does not natively support (such as R), or already containerized for other usage.
