Course Summary
The Intermediate Google Cloud for Data Engineers training course is designed to advance the skills of those students who are already familiar with data engineering capabilities of Google Cloud to build specialized types of data pipelines, including those for machine learning, streaming data analytics, and recommendation systems.
The course starts by exploring data engineering with unbounded data sets and how streaming data analytics pipelines built with Apache Beam and DataFlow compare to alternatives, including lambda architecture. After working on a data pipeline using BigTable, DataFlow, and BigQuery, students will learn about what it takes to create data pipelines for machine learning and recommendation systems. The course will cover the importance of reproducibility when creating training, evaluation, and test data and then will use TensorFlow together with Apache Beam for feature engineering of both structured and unstructured data.
This course is designed for students who have either taken the Introduction to Google Cloud for Data Engineers course or have equivalent knowledge/experience. The course will be conducted on Google Cloud Platform.
