Course Introduction

• This section welcomes learners to the Big Data and Machine Learning Fundamentals course and provides an overview of the course structure and goals.

Big Data and Machine Learning on Google Cloud

• This section explores the key components of Google Cloud’s infrastructure. We introduce many of the big data and machine learning products and services that support the data-to AI lifecycle on Google Cloud.

Data Engineering for Streaming Data

• This section introduces Google Cloud’s solution to managing streaming data. It examines an end-to-end pipeline, including data ingestion with Pub/Sub, data processing with Dataflow, and data visualization with Looker and Data Studio.

Big Data with BigQuery

• This section introduces learners to BigQuery, Google’s fully managed, serverless data warehouse. It also explores BigQuery ML and the processes and key commands that are used to build custom machine learning models.

Machine Learning Options on Google Cloud

• This section explores four different options to build machine learning models on Google Cloud. It also introduces Vertex AI, Google’s unified platform for building and managing the lifecycle of ML projects.

The Machine Learning Workflow with Vertex AI

• This section focuses on the three key phases—data preparation, model training, and model preparation—of the machine learning workflow in Vertex AI. Learners can practice building a machine learning model with AutoML.
