Zero to Hero: Mastering MLOps with GCP, Vertex AI, and AI Platform

Imagine you’re assembling an Avengers squad, but instead of superheroes, you’ve got machine learning models, pipelines, and automation tools. MLOps is the ultimate way to keep your ML “Avengers” in top shape — always ready to tackle business problems. And what better universe to explore than Google Cloud Platform (GCP)? It’s like having Tony Stark’s lab for ML!

Strap in as we go from Zero to Hero and master MLOps with GCP.

Why GCP?

Google Cloud is MLOps heaven. It gives you:

• Vertex AI: Your one-stop shop for training, deploying, and monitoring models.
• AI Platform: Think of it as the assembly line for ML workflows.
• BigQuery & Dataflow: Tools to handle data like Thor’s hammer.

In short, GCP is like Hogwarts for machine learning nerds. So, let’s dive in!

Step 1: The Basics — Lay Your Foundation

Before you even touch Vertex AI, let’s get the basics straight:

1. Learn GCP Essentials:

• Google Cloud Fundamentals: Core Infrastructure (Free on Google Cloud Skills Boost).

1. Understand Containers: MLOps = Docker. Learn how to containerize your ML models.

• Resource: Docker for Absolute Beginners

Pro Tip: Spend time on the GCP console. Get comfy — this is…
