Purpose |
Cloud Storage |
Stores raw multimodal datasets (images, text logs, sensor telemetry). |
Pub/Sub |
Ingests real-time sensor or event data streams for processing. |
Dataflow |
Preprocesses data streams, performs feature extraction, and prepares inputs for ML models. |
BigQuery |
Stores structured data (sensor readings, textual features) for analytics and historical analysis. |
Vertex AI |
Central platform to train, deploy, and manage multimodal ML models; supports pipelines, AutoML, and custom training. |
AI Platform Pipelines |
Orchestrates end-to-end ML workflows including preprocessing, training, evaluation, and deployment. |
Cloud Functions |
Event-driven automation (trigger model inference or retraining when new data arrives). |
Cloud Monitoring / Logging |
Monitors model performance, prediction latency, and system health. |
Looker / Data Studio |
Visualize predictions, trends, and aggregated insights from multimodal data. |
Cloud Key Management Service (KMS) |
Encrypts sensitive data (medical, industrial, or personal sensor data) for compliance. |
