Custom Containers — Google Cloud ML Engineer Practice Questions
Custom containers allow ML practitioners to package their own training and serving environments as Docker images and run them on Vertex AI, bypassing the constraints of pre-built runtimes. The ML Engineer exam tests knowledge of how to build a compliant training container, push it to Artifact Registry or Container Registry, and reference it in a Vertex AI CustomJob or CustomTrainingJob. Proper entry point configuration, environment variable handling, and model artifact output paths are practical details the exam covers. Custom containers are essential when using non-standard frameworks, specific library versions, or complex multi-step preprocessing logic.
