Building Machine Learning Pipelines on Google Cloud

In modern data science, training a model is only the first step; the real challenge lies in building robust, repeatable workflows to manage data and model deployment. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of designing and managing machine learning pipelines on Google Cloud. You will transition from running manual, disconnected scripts to creating structured, automated pipelines that track metadata and manage artifacts seamlessly. By reading our detailed explanations and studying practical configuration examples, you will understand how to orchestrate the entire machine learning lifecycle in a cloud environment. What you'll learn: - Understand core pipeline concepts and the fundamentals of machine learning orchestration - Configure metadata tracking to monitor model lineage, inputs, and outputs - Design automated workflows to handle data preprocessing, training, and evaluation - Apply MLOps best practices using Vertex AI Pipelines and modern cloud tools - Manage pipeline artifacts and versioning for reproducible machine learning runs - Implement basic security and monitoring for cloud-based machine learning workflows The course begins with essential terminology and foundational pipeline architectures before moving into step-by-step configurations for orchestrating training and deployment. You will study clear, written examples of pipeline definitions and metadata management strategies. This course is designed for aspiring ML engineers, data scientists, and developers who are new to cloud-based pipelines. No prior experience with Google Cloud machine learning tools is required, though a basic understanding of Python is helpful.
