Publishing a Free Algorithm

Prerequisites

• You have created an algorithm in Algorithm Management on the ModelArts console. For details about how to create an algorithm, see Creating an Algorithm.
  

  When creating an algorithm, ensure that the names of files and folders in the OBS bucket where the algorithm code is stored are unique. Otherwise, the algorithm may fail to be published. If the algorithm is published, the code fails to be opened.
