Question

Your data science team has requested a system that supports scheduled model retraining, Docker containers, and a service that supports autoscaling and monitoring for online prediction requests. Which platform components should you choose for this system?

  • AVertex AI Pipelines and App Engine
  • BVertex AI Pipelines, Vertex AI Prediction, and Vertex AI Model Monitoring
  • CCloud Composer, BigQuery ML, and Vertex AI Prediction
  • DCloud Composer, Vertex AI Training with custom containers, and App Engine

Explanation

The requirements map directly to three Vertex AI components: (1) Vertex AI Pipelines for scheduled, containerized model retraining workflows using Docker; (2) Vertex AI Prediction for serving online predictions with built-in autoscaling; (3) Vertex AI Model Monitoring for detecting data drift and performance degradation in production. App Engine (A, D) is a general-purpose web app platform not designed for ML model serving with autoscaling GPU/CPU resources. BigQuery ML (C) does not use custom Docker containers. Cloud Composer (C, D) is a managed Apache Airflow service that could orchestrate retraining but is more complex to set up than Vertex AI Pipelines for this use case. Option B is the most cohesive, purpose-built solution entirely within the Vertex AI ecosystem.
