TensorFlow is an open source software library for high performance numerical computation that's great for writing models that can train and run on platforms ranging from your laptop to a fleet of servers in the Cloud to an edge device. This quest takes you beyond the basics of using predefined models and teaches you how to build, train and deploy your own on Google Cloud.
Incorporating machine learning into data pipelines increases the ability to extract insights from data. This course covers ways machine learning can be included in data pipelines on Google Cloud. For little to no customization, this course covers AutoML. For more tailored machine learning capabilities, this course introduces Notebooks and BigQuery machine learning (BigQuery ML). Also, this course covers how to productionalize machine learning solutions by using Vertex AI.
In this intermediate course, you will learn to design, build, and optimize robust batch data pipelines on Google Cloud. Moving beyond fundamental data handling, you will explore large-scale data transformations and efficient workflow orchestration, essential for timely business intelligence and critical reporting. Get hands-on practice using Dataflow for Apache Beam and Serverless for Apache Spark (Dataproc Serverless) for implementation, and tackle crucial considerations for data quality, monitoring, and alerting to ensure pipeline reliability and operational excellence. A basic knowledge of data warehousing, ETL/ELT, SQL, Python, and Google Cloud concepts is recommended.
Complete the intermediate Build a Data Warehouse with BigQuery skill badge course to demonstrate skills in the following: joining data to create new tables, troubleshooting joins, appending data with unions, creating date-partitioned tables, and working with JSON, arrays, and structs in BigQuery.
Complete the introductory Prepare Data for ML APIs on Google Cloud skill badge to demonstrate skills in the following: cleaning data with Dataprep by Trifacta, running data pipelines in Dataflow, creating clusters and running Apache Spark jobs in Dataproc, and calling ML APIs including the Cloud Natural Language API, Google Cloud Speech-to-Text API, and Video Intelligence API.
While the traditional approaches of using data lakes and data warehouses can be effective, they have shortcomings, particularly in large enterprise environments. This course introduces the concept of a data lakehouse and the Google Cloud products used to create one. A lakehouse architecture uses open-standard data sources and combines the best features of data lakes and data warehouses, which addresses many of their shortcomings.
In this introductory-level course, you get hands-on practice with the Google Cloud’s fundamental tools and services. Optional videos are provided to provide more context and review for the concepts covered in the labs. Google Cloud Essentials is a recommendeded first course for the Google Cloud learner - you can come in with little or no prior cloud knowledge, and come out with practical experience that you can apply to your first Google Cloud project. From writing Cloud Shell commands and deploying your first virtual machine, to running applications on Kubernetes Engine or with load balancing, Google Cloud Essentials is a prime introduction to the platform’s basic features.
