Google Cloud AI & Machine Learning

Vertex AI

Unified AI platform: Gemini and other foundation models, model training, tuning, deployment and agents.

What is Vertex AI?

Vertex AI is Google's AI platform. Use Gemini and other models for text, images, code and agents, ground them in your own data, or train, tune and deploy your own ML models with MLOps tooling.

Key features

  • Gemini and Model Garden models
  • Agent Builder and grounding with your data
  • Custom training and tuning
  • Online and batch prediction
  • Pipelines and model monitoring

What it is used for

  • Generative AI apps
  • Custom ML models
  • AI agents

When to use it

  • Adding generative AI to apps
  • Search and Q&A over documents
  • Custom ML models

When something else fits better

  • Simple logic that needs no AI

How pricing works

Generative models are mostly priced per input/output token or character; training and prediction are priced by compute used. Prices change and differ by region; we confirm current costs for your setup before you commit.

Equivalent on AWS

The closest AWS service is Amazon Bedrock: build generative AI applications with leading foundation models through one managed API.

How DomainHostly helps with Vertex AI

  • Plan: choose the right setup, size and region for your workload and budget.
  • Set up securely: configure Vertex AI with least-privilege access, encryption and backups where they apply.
  • Migrate: move from shared hosting, your own servers or the other cloud with minimal downtime.
  • Run and optimise: monitoring, updates and regular cost reviews so you only pay for what you use.

AI & Machine Learning: Generative AI, model training and hosting, and ready-made AI for vision, speech and language.

What to consider: AI & Machine Learning

  • Start with a ready-made model or API before training your own; it is faster and usually cheaper.
  • Keep personal and confidential data out of prompts unless your setup guarantees how it is stored and used.
  • Measure quality on your own examples and set usage limits so costs cannot run away.
