GCP AI Notebook can't access storage bucket

Question

New to GCP. Trying to load a saved model file into an AI Platform notebook. Tried several approaches without success.

Most obvious approach seemed to be to set the value of a variable to the path copied from storage:

model_path = "gs://<my-bucket>/models/3B/export/1600635833/saved_model.pb"

Results: OSError: SavedModel file does not exist at: (the above path)

I know I can connect to the bucket and retrieve contents because I downloaded a csv file from the bucket and printed out the contents.

Answer 1

According to the GCP documentation enter here , you are able to access Cloud Storage. This page will guide to using Cloud Storage with AI Platform Training.

Answer 2

OSError to me sounds like you are trying to access GCS bucket with a regular file system which do not support looking at GCS. (Example: Python open() function)

To access files in GCS I recommend you use the Client Libraries. https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/reference/libraries

Another option for testing is to try to connect to SSH and use gsutil command.

Note : I assume <my-bucket> was edited to replace your real GCS bucket name.
