Overview of this book

TensorFlow as a machine learning (ML) library has matured into a production-ready ecosystem. This beginner’s book uses practical examples to enable you to build and deploy TensorFlow models using optimal settings that ensure long-term support without having to worry about library deprecation or being left behind when it comes to bug fixes or workarounds. The book begins by showing you how to refine your TensorFlow project and set it up for enterprise-level deployment. You’ll then learn how to choose a future-proof version of TensorFlow. As you advance, you’ll find out how to build and deploy models in a robust and stable environment by following recommended practices made available in TensorFlow Enterprise. This book also teaches you how to manage your services better and enhance the performance and reliability of your artificial intelligence (AI) applications. You’ll discover how to use various enterprise-ready services to accelerate your ML and AI workflows on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Finally, you’ll scale your ML models and handle heavy workloads across CPUs, GPUs, and Cloud TPUs. By the end of this TensorFlow book, you’ll have learned the patterns needed for TensorFlow Enterprise model development, data pipelines, training, and deployment.

Chapter 1: Overview of TensorFlow Enterprise

In this introductory chapter, you will learn how to set up and run TensorFlow Enterprise in a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environment. This will enable you to get some initial hands-on experience of how TensorFlow Enterprise integrates with other services in GCP. One of the most important improvements in TensorFlow Enterprise is the integration with the data storage options in Google Cloud, such as Google Cloud Storage and BigQuery.

This chapter starts by covering how to complete a one-time setup for the cloud environment and enable the necessary cloud service APIs. Then we will see how easy it is to work with these data storage systems at scale.

In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:

  • Understanding TensorFlow Enterprise
  • Configuring cloud environments for TensorFlow Enterprise
  • Accessing the data sources
