The best way to learn AI is by building. From finding quick ways to deploy open models to building complex, multi-agentic systems, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of resources out there. To that end, we've compiled a living, curated collection of our 25+ favorite how-to guides for Google Cloud. This collection is split into four areas: Faster model deployment: Create efficient CI/CD pipelines, deploy Gemma 3, and use open models in Vertex AI Studio.

As the excitement around AI agents reaches enterprise customers, a critical question emerges: How can we empower these agents to securely and intelligently interact with enterprise data systems like Google Cloud BigQuery? Currently, the developers building agentic applications have been forced to build and maintain their own custom tools, a process that is slow, risky, and distracts from building innovative applications.

Anthropic's Claude models on Vertex AI now have improved overall availability with the global endpoint for Claude models. Now generally available, the global endpoint unlocks the ability to dynamically route your requests to any region with available capacity supported by the Claude model you're using.

On premises customers using NetApp storage arrays in their own data centers often have strict network and firewall access control rules in place to secure their data, but this type of security usually introduces Network Address Translation (NAT) into the path between the arrays.
