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.

Summary

In this chapter, you have learned how to launch the JupyterLab environment to run TensorFlow Enterprise. TensorFlow Enterprise is available in three different forms: AI Platform Notebook, DLVM, and a Docker container. The computing resources used by these methods can be found in the Google Cloud Compute Engine panel. These compute nodes do not shut down on their own, therefore it is important to stop or delete them once you are done using them.

The BigQuery command tool is seamlessly integrated with the TensorFlow Enterprise environment. Parameterized data extraction via the use of a SQL query string enables the quick and easy creation of a derived dataset and feature selection.

TensorFlow Enterprise works even when your data is not yet in Google Cloud storage. By pulling and running the TensorFlow Enterprise Docker container, you can use it with on-premises or local data sources.

Now that you have seen how to leverage data availability and accessibility for TensorFlow...
