Build and Deploy the Application to Cloud Run
/ 100
In this lab, you will learn how to build a generative AI application using the Gemini API in Vertex AI and deploying it on Cloud Run. You'll use the Streamlit framework to create an interactive interface for generating stories.
The lab involves running the application locally in Cloud Shell to test its functionality and then deploying it to Cloud Run for scalable serving. You'll gain practical experience integrating Gemini with a user interface and leveraging Cloud Run for efficient deployment.
Gemini is a family of powerful generative AI models developed by Google DeepMind, capable of understanding and generating various forms of content, including text, code, images, audio, and video.
The Gemini API in Vertex AI provides a unified interface for interacting with Gemini models. This allows developers to easily integrate these powerful AI capabilities into their applications. For the most up-to-date details and specific features of the latest versions, please refer to the official Gemini documentation.
Before starting this lab, you should be familiar with:
In this lab, you will learn how to:
Read these instructions. Labs are timed and you cannot pause them. The timer, which starts when you click Start Lab, shows how long Google Cloud resources are made available to you.
This hands-on lab lets you do the lab activities in a real cloud environment, not in a simulation or demo environment. It does so by giving you new, temporary credentials you use to sign in and access Google Cloud for the duration of the lab.
To complete this lab, you need:
Click the Start Lab button. If you need to pay for the lab, a dialog opens for you to select your payment method. On the left is the Lab Details pane with the following:
Click Open Google Cloud console (or right-click and select Open Link in Incognito Window if you are running the Chrome browser).
The lab spins up resources, and then opens another tab that shows the Sign in page.
Tip: Arrange the tabs in separate windows, side-by-side.
If necessary, copy the Username below and paste it into the Sign in dialog.
You can also find the Username in the Lab Details pane.
Click Next.
Copy the Password below and paste it into the Welcome dialog.
You can also find the Password in the Lab Details pane.
Click Next.
Click through the subsequent pages:
After a few moments, the Google Cloud console opens in this tab.
In this section, you will run the Streamlit application locally in Cloud Shell.
Open a new Cloud Shell terminal by clicking on the Cloud Shell icon in the top right corner of the Cloud console.
Run the following commands to clone the repo and navigate to gemini-streamlit-cloudrun
directory in Cloud Shell using the following commands.
To run the Streamlit Application, you will need to perform some additional steps.
GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT
: This the Google Cloud project ID.GOOGLE_CLOUD_REGION
: This is the region in which you are deploying your Cloud Run app. For e.g. us-central1
.These variables are needed since the Vertex AI initialization needs the Google Cloud project ID and the region. The specific code line from the app.py
function is shown here: vertexai.init(project=PROJECT_ID, location=LOCATION)
In Cloud Shell, execute the following commands:
Output:
The application will startup and you will be provided a URL to the application. Click the link to view the application in the browser or use Cloud Shell's web preview function to launch the preview page.
Adjust the parameters for the story generation and click Generate my story.
Navigate back to Cloud Shell and "AUTHORIZE" the application to access the Gemini API when prompted. Once you have authorized the application, you can navigate back to the application to see the response.
In this section, you will deploy the Streamlit Application in Cloud Run.
You will now build the Docker image for the application and push it to Artifact Registry. To do this, you will need one environment variable set that will point to the Artifact Registry name. The commands below will create this Artifact Registry repository for you.
Output:
On successful deployment, you will be provided a URL to the Cloud Run service. You can visit that in the browser to view the Cloud Run application that you just deployed.
Output:
Choose the functionality that you would like to check out and the application will prompt the Gemini API in Vertex AI and display the responses.
Click Check my progress to verify the objective.
Congratulations! In this lab, you have learned how to integrate Gemini API in Vertex AI with applications and build and deploy the developed sample application on Google Cloud Run.
