Google Cloud Vertex AI

Vertex AI is an integrated set of products, features, and a management interface that simplifies the management of Google Cloud ML services. Vertex AI lets users build, train, and deploy ML models. As shown in Figure 10.1, Vertex AI unifies a set of disparate features and has a user interface that makes it easy to develop and integrate ML-related applications:
