Summary
In this chapter, we started by creating a GCP free-tier account and provisioning our VM and storage bucket in the cloud. Then, we looked at the GCP organization’s structure, resource hierarchy, and IAM. Finally, we looked at the GCP services that are related to ML, including compute, storage, big data and analytics, and AI, to have a solid understanding of each GCP service.
To help you with your hands-on GCP skills, we have provided examples in Appendix 1, Practicing with Basic GCP Services, where we have provided labs for provisioning basic GCP resources, step by step.
In the next chapter, we will build another foundation: Python programming. We will focus on Python basic skill development and Python data library usage.
