Chapter 8: Building Machine Learning Solutions on Google Cloud Platform
The first machine learning (ML) solution came from the 1950s era. And I believe most of you know that in recent years, it's become very popular. It's undeniable that the discussion of artificial intelligence (AI) and ML is one of the hottest topics in the 21st century. There are two main drivers of this. One is the advancement in the infrastructure, while the second is data. This second driver brings us, as data engineers, into the ML area.
In my experience discussing ML with data engineers, there are two different reactions – either very excited or totally against it. Before you lose interest in finishing this chapter, I want to be clear about what we are going to cover.
We are not going to learn about ML from any historical stories nor the mathematical aspects of it. Instead, I am going to prepare you, as data engineers, for potential ML involvement in your GCP environment....
