This repository contains code to train, tune and deploy a Hugging Face Transformer model with Vertex AI.

custom_training_docker - Dockerfile and training code for custom training container

training.py - Creation of the custom training container, hyperparameter-tuning job ,training job and model deployment

Make sure you run "gcloud auth application-default login" before running the training.py file. or you can use the service account key json file.

I've created a medium article to explain the code in this repository. You can find it here.
