Challenge 1: Let’s start exploring & data importing!
Introduction
We’ll start with an easy challenge. Jupyter notebooks are great for interactive exploration. We can run those locally, but Vertex AI provides managed environments where you get to run Jupyter with the right security controls. Create a Managed Notebook on Vertex AI. We’ve prepared a sample project on Github, navigate there and clone the notebook into your environment. Open the notebook student_demand_forecasting_ghack_notebook.ipynb. You should now be able to run the first notebook until the model training section and get familiar with some of the Vertex AI concepts.
Success Criteria
- There’s a new (User-)Managed Notebook
- The sample notebook student_demand_forecasting_ghack_notebook.ipynb is successfully run and there is VertexAI managed dataset in place.
- No code changes are needed for this challenge
Tips
- You can use the terminal in VertexAI Workbench to clone the repository. If you prefer a UI, here is a tutorial on how to do it.
