Convolutional Neural Networks with Swift for Tensorflow: Image Recognition and Dataset Categorization

Appendix A: Cloud Setup

We will look at how to get bootstrapped running Swift for Tensorflow on Google Cloud.

Technically speaking, you can skip this Appendix if you wish, but I would highly suggest you spend some time to learn how to use the cloud sooner rather than later. The cloud in general is a deep subject which we could spend an entire book on. I would suggest you not try to do it all at once, but rather get the basics down at first, and then you can slowly add more cloud usage into your workflows over time.

Once you are comfortable working with the command-line workflow we are teaching, then scaling becomes a natural extension of technique. There are various workflows you can make parallel very easily. For example, once you have a particular ...
