Building a scalable MLOps system with Vertex AI AutoML and Pipeline

When you build a Machine Learning (ML) product, consider at least two MLOps scenarios. First, the model is replaceable, as breakthrough algorithms are introduced in academia or industry. Second, the model itself has to evolve with the data in the changing world. You can handle both scenarios with the services provided by Vertex AI. For example: AutoML capability automatically identifies the best model based on your budget, data, and settings. You can easily manage the dataset with Vertex Managed Datasets by creating a new dataset or adding data to an existing dataset. You can build an ML pipeline to automate a series of steps that start with importing a dataset and end with deploying a model using Vertex Pipelines. This blog post Chansung Park, ML Google Developer Expert shows you how to build this system. You can find the full notebook for reproduction here. Many folks focus on the ML pipeline when it comes to MLOps, but there are more parts to building MLOps as a “system”. In

Spatial Clustering on BigQuery - Best Practices

Remy Welch, Customer Engineer, and Michael Entin Software Engineer from Google Cloud recently summarized the best practices of spatial clustering on BigQuery. Their explanation is excellent. I share here that this might help those who want to reduce the cloud cost and increase the BigQuery performance. Most data analysts are familiar with the concept of organizing data into clusters so that it can be queried faster and at a lower cost. The user behavior dictates how the dataset should be clustered: for example, when a user seeks to analyze or visualize geospatial data (a.k.a location data), it is most efficient to cluster on a geospatial column. This practice is known as spatial clustering, and in this blog, we will share best practices for implementing it in BigQuery (hint — let BigQuery do it for you). BigQuery is a petabyte-scale data warehouse that has many geospatial capabilities and functions. In the following sections, we will describe how BigQuery does spatial clustering out

ML improvement by explainability Examples-based Vertex AI Explanations

Today, Google Cloud announces the public preview of Explanations based on examples of Vertex AI, a new feature that provides usable explanations to mitigate data challenges like mislabelled examples. Explanations based on examples Vertex AI, data scientists can quickly identify misplaced data, improve datasets and involve stakeholders more effectively in decisions and progress. This new feature takes the model refinement riddle games, allowing you to identify problems faster and accelerate the value time.Artificial intelligence (AI) is a potent tool for extracting more value from data since it can automatically understand patterns that people cannot.A high-performing model starts with high-quality data, but frequently datasets have problems, including inaccurate labels or murky examples, which affect the performance of the model.Enterprises always struggle with data quality issues; label errors can even be found in some datasets used as ML standards.As a result, it is frequently diffic

Google Kubernetes Engine: 7 years and 7 amazing benefits

Today, as Google cloud celebrate seven years of general availability of the most automated and scalable managed Kubernetes, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Google cloud present seven of the common ways that GKE helps customers do amazing things. Increases developers' productivity Developer time is at a premium. GKE provides a rich set of integrated tools to help their customers ship faster and more often. The practice of continuous integration (CI) allows developers to frequently integrate all their code changes back into a main branch, exposing failures faster by revealing issues as early as possible in the process. A CI pipeline typically produces an artifact that you can deploy in later stages of the deployment process with continuous delivery (CD). CD lets you release code at any time. The ecosystem of developer tools for GKE spans across CI and CD. Developers write, deploy, and debug code faster with Cloud Code and Cloud Shell Continuously integrate and deliver updates with Cl

Announcing Virtual Machine Threat Detection now generally available to Cloud customers

The Google Cloud team has given hard work on virtual machine scaling the service, refining virtual machine detection capabilities, and preparing google cloud's next major feature set. VMTD in general availability has been scaled to support significantly more frequent scanning across a tremendously large number of instances. Scaling the scanning of memory from the Google Cloud Compute Engine (GCE) fleet has posed unique challenges, and google cloud invested in caching scan results to enable more frequent scans of smaller – but more important – sections of memory.Today Google cloud are announce that their unique, first-to-market detection capability with Virtual Machine Threat Detection (VMTD) in Security Command Center is now generally available for all Google Cloud customers.

How to use Vertex AI Pipeline to orchestrate benchmark jupyter notebooks

Hi,I am working on Document AI solution where I extracts the texts from a group of pdf documents to document AI processors and upload some of the extracted informations to BigQuery, Basically, I have two python scripts, very long codes, in vertex ai benchmark jupyter notebook environment. Now I want to build a pipeline to automate the sequence of execution of these two python script. I have been searching the possible way to run a jupyter notebook from Vertex Pipeline which is basically Kubeflow without success. I know that I can execute python functions from vertex pipeline but what I need is to run the whole python script from vertex benchmark jupyter notebook. Any help will be very much appreciated.Regrads

The cloud storage new Prefix and suffix lifecycle conditions

Recently, Google Cloud Storage launch powerful new object lifecycle rules for GCS to help us control cloud storage costs in new ways. Two new features are included in this launch.Prefix/suffix lifecycle conditionsBefore, we already had several lifecycle conditions to choose from, such as the age of an object, its version history, a custom timestamp, and more. Now, we can add conditions on the names of objects; specifically, matching a prefix or a suffix. Prefix and suffix conditions are helpful for a number of cases. Here are two:Managing common object prefixes separately. It's quite common to group objects using a common prefix, such as in a dataset. Now, lifecycle conditions can act on those groups using a MatchesPrefix rule.Managing categories of objects separately. It's also common to use "extensions" on object keys to denote the format of the data; .mp4, .zip, .csv, and so on. we often have a mix of these within a bucket, and would like to use the extension to manage them separ
