Overview of this book

While AI has become an integral part of every organization today, the development of large-scale ML solutions and management of complex ML workflows in production continue to pose challenges for many. Google’s unified data and AI platform, Vertex AI, directly addresses these challenges with its array of MLOPs tools designed for overall workflow management. This book is a comprehensive guide that lets you explore Google Vertex AI’s easy-to-advanced level features for end-to-end ML solution development. Throughout this book, you’ll discover how Vertex AI empowers you by providing essential tools for critical tasks, including data management, model building, large-scale experimentations, metadata logging, model deployments, and monitoring. You’ll learn how to harness the full potential of Vertex AI for developing and deploying no-code, low-code, or fully customized ML solutions. This book takes a hands-on approach to developing u deploying some real-world ML solutions on Google Cloud, leveraging key technologies such as Vision, NLP, generative AI, and recommendation systems. Additionally, this book covers pre-built and turnkey solution offerings as well as guidance on seamlessly integrating them into your ML workflows. By the end of this book, you’ll have the confidence to develop and deploy large-scale production-grade ML solutions using the MLOps tooling and best practices from Google.

Summary

In this chapter, we discussed the transformative influence of no-code platforms in democratizing AI and machine learning, allowing individuals without specialized coding knowledge to develop sophisticated models. You also learned about the no-code machine learning options available through Google Cloud’s Vertex AI toolset, and we explored the steps to build, evaluate, deploy, and generate predictions with an AutoML model. The chapter serves as a practical guide for users interested in leveraging Google Cloud’s machine learning capabilities without writing code.

In the next chapter, we will explore some low-code options to build a machine learning model. Although that would require some additional technical skills compared to the no-code options discussed in this book, it would also give you more fine-grained control over how your model is built.
