Chapter 2. New features and enhancements

With this update, you can stop and start deployed models to better manage resources and costs. When a model is not in use, you can stop it to release its dedicated resources, including GPUs. When you need the model again, you can restart it.

This feature is available on the Model deployments page for models deployed on the single-model serving platform.

From OpenShift AI version 2.23, if the external database associated with your model registry instance is configured to enforce Transport Layer Security (TLS), then you must add a Certificate Authority (CA) certificate for the database.

Existing model registries will fail if the associated database enforces TLS and you did not add a CA certificate. Affected model registries will appear with an Unavailable status on the Model registry settings page, and you might see Retrying connection to MySQL errors in the pod logs for the registry.

You can add a certificate by selecting the Add CA certificate to secure database connection option when you create or edit your model registry. For more information about creating and editing a model registry instance, see Managing model registries.
