# Deploy models

Deploy an available trained model using a saved [deployment configuration](/ui-guides/deployment/configuration). Check that the deployment is running before evaluating it or requesting explanations.

## Before you begin

Have an **AVAILABLE** [trained model](/ui-guides/models/models) and a saved deployment configuration. Verify the model's dataset and training-job references. For a feature-engineered model, prepare a running [Feature Transform Service](/ui-guides/deployment/feature-transform-services).

## Deploy a trained model

1. Open the **Deployed models** tab and select **Create**.

2. Enter a **Deployment name**.

3. Select the trained **Model** you intend to deploy.

4. Select the infrastructure **Configuration** created for that deployment.

5. Review the model and configuration, then select **Deploy**. For a model that uses feature engineering, select a running service in **Select a Feature Transform Service** and confirm the deployment.

6. Open the resulting deployment and inspect its status. Wait until it is **RUNNING** before querying or evaluating it.

Keep any selected Feature Transform Service running so that prediction inputs can be transformed. Use the deployment in Model Evaluation and Explanation Lab. For API requests, use the deployed-model identifier and [REST API authentication](/guides/setup/authentication).

## Verify a deployment

Open a deployed model's **Overview**. Check its name, **Status**, underlying **Model**, **Deployment Configuration**, creator and timestamps. Verify that the configuration matches the serving setup you intended.

The example **9e7d4f3a-payments_fraud_raw_100k-Andy** is **RUNNING** and references model **acdd220f-payments_fraud_raw_100k-Andy** with configuration **4vCPUx16RAM**. It uses a different configuration from the [Serverless example](/ui-guides/deployment/configuration). Follow the model and configuration references to verify the resources used by your deployment.

## Use the deployment

Once the intended model and deployment are available, continue to [Explanation views](/ui-guides/explanations/overview) for the Explanation Lab. Keep the model identity and source dataset in view so that explanations and evaluation results can be traced to the correct resources.

## Delete a deployment

Open the deployed model and select **Delete**. Review the deployment identity and confirmation before proceeding. Removing the serving resource makes it unavailable for evaluation and explanation queries; check whether it is still in use before deleting it.

## Next steps

Continue to [Evaluate models](/ui-guides/deployment/evaluation).
