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.

Using TensorFlow Enterprise in AI Platform

In this section, we are going to see firsthand how easy it is to access data stored in one of the Google Cloud Storage options, such as a storage bucket or BigQuery. To do so, we need to configure an environment to execute some example TensorFlow API code and command-line tools in this section. The easiest way to use TensorFlow Enterprise is through the AI Platform Notebook in Google Cloud:

  1. In the GCP portal, search for AI Platform.
  2. Then select NEW INSTANCE, with TensorFlow Enterprise 2.3 and Without GPUs. Then click OPEN JUPYTERLAB:

  3. Click on Python 3, and it will provide a new notebook to execute the remainder of this chapter's examples:
