Course Overview

🧠 Why CI/CD for ML with Vertex AI and Cloud Build?

Machine learning models require continuous updates, testing, and deployment to stay effective. CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment) for ML ensures that models are built, tested, and deployed reliably and efficiently. Leveraging Vertex AI and Cloud Build helps you:

  • Automate model training, testing, and deployment workflows

  • Reduce errors and downtime in ML pipelines

  • Accelerate delivery of production-ready ML models

Mastering CI/CD for ML enables teams to deploy AI solutions faster while maintaining high quality and scalability.


🔧 Key Tools & Concepts in CI/CD for ML:

  • Vertex AI – End-to-end platform for building, deploying, and monitoring ML models on Google Cloud

  • Cloud Build – Automates building, testing, and deploying ML pipelines in a CI/CD framework

  • Pipeline Automation – Define workflows for training, testing, and deploying ML models

  • Model Versioning & Monitoring – Track and manage multiple model versions with performance monitoring

  • Integration with Git & Repositories – Ensure smooth collaboration and reproducibility across teams


🚀 What You Can Do with CI/CD for ML Skills:

  • Automate end-to-end ML workflows from code commit to production deployment

  • Build reliable and scalable ML pipelines using Vertex AI and Cloud Build

  • Monitor and maintain ML models effectively in production

  • Reduce manual intervention and improve deployment speed

  • Ensure consistent, high-quality delivery of machine learning solutions
