Question

Your team has built a Vertex AI Pipeline that retrains a demand-forecasting model. The business wants the pipeline to run automatically every Monday at 6:00 AM without any manual intervention or external code. The pipeline definition is already compiled to a JSON file and uploaded to Cloud Storage. What is the most appropriate way to set up this recurring execution?

Accepted Answer

Create a Vertex AI Pipelines schedule (PipelineJob schedule) using a cron expression that references the compiled pipeline specification.

Answer

Deploy a Cloud Function that polls Cloud Storage every minute and starts the pipeline when the system clock reaches Monday 6:00 AM.

Answer

Configure a Cloud Build trigger tied to a Git push and instruct the team to push a commit every Monday morning.

Answer

Set the pipeline's component caching so it reruns automatically once the cached artifacts expire each week.
