SageMaker to Vertex AI Migration

Re-platform your Amazon SageMaker ML estate onto Vertex AI, models, training pipelines, feature stores and serving endpoints, on Google's managed MLOps and Model Garden. Delivered workload by workload by a Google Cloud Partner.

SageMaker to Vertex AI migration
Quick answer

Yes, you can migrate from Amazon SageMaker to Vertex AI. It is a re-platform, not a copy: Codimite, a Google Cloud Partner, moves your trained models to the Vertex AI Model Registry, rebuilds training jobs as Vertex AI Pipelines, re-creates SageMaker endpoints as Vertex AI Endpoints, and rewrites SDK and custom container code from SageMaker to Vertex AI. Model artifacts and data move; pipelines, containers, feature stores and IAM are reworked because the platforms differ.

Why migrate

Why teams move from SageMaker to Vertex AI

Managed MLOps

Vertex AI Pipelines, Model Registry, Feature Store and monitoring give an integrated MLOps platform under one roof.

Model Garden & no lock-in

Gemini, open models and third-party models in one catalog, you are not tied to a single model family.

BigQuery integration

Train and serve directly against data in BigQuery without heavy ETL.

Foundation for Gemini apps

Vertex AI is where grounded Gemini apps and Codimite's ADK + n8n agents are built.

Consolidation

If you are already moving compute and data to GCP, keeping ML on AWS means cross-cloud egress and split tooling.

What we migrate

What we migrate from SageMaker

SageMaker component Migrates to Vertex AI Notes
Trained model artifacts Cloud Storage + Model Registry Artifacts move; container format may be rebuilt
Training jobs Vertex AI Training / Pipelines Orchestration reworked (Kubeflow-based)
SageMaker Pipelines Vertex AI Pipelines Re-authored, different DSL
Endpoints (real-time/batch) Vertex AI Endpoints / Batch Prediction Re-created and load-tested
Feature Store Vertex AI Feature Store Schema + ingestion re-built
Studio notebooks Vertex AI Workbench Environments re-provisioned
SDK / custom containers Vertex AI SDK / containers Code rewritten from SageMaker SDK
IAM & networking Google IAM / VPC Re-mapped, roles and VPC differ

Effort is scoped per workload during assessment, tightly AWS-coupled jobs take more rework.

Our process

Our SageMaker to Vertex AI migration process

  1. 1

    Assess

    We inventory models, pipelines, endpoints, feature stores and AWS dependencies, and rate each workload's effort.

  2. 2

    Map

    We map each SageMaker component to its Vertex AI equivalent and design IAM, networking and data flow.

  3. 3

    Re-platform

    We move artifacts and data, rebuild pipelines and containers, and re-create endpoints on Vertex AI.

  4. 4

    Validate

    We compare predictions and metrics against the SageMaker baseline to confirm parity.

  5. 5

    Cut over

    Traffic shifts to Vertex AI endpoints in waves, with rollback available.

  6. 6

    Optimise

    We tune cost and performance and wire monitoring and MLOps.

Why Codimite

Why Codimite for your Vertex AI migration

Vertex AI, BigQuery and Google ADK are our core stack, delivered as a Google Cloud Partner: we de-risk by migrating one ML workload at a time, prove parity against the SageMaker baseline, and can layer Gemini grounding and ADK + n8n agents once you're on Vertex AI.

  • Google Cloud Partner. Vertex AI, BigQuery and Google ADK are our core stack.

  • Workload-by-workload delivery. We de-risk by migrating and validating one ML workload at a time.

  • Parity verification. Prediction and metric comparison proves the re-platform did not regress.

  • Agent-ready. Once on Vertex AI, we can layer Gemini grounding and ADK + n8n agents on your models.

FAQs

SageMaker to Vertex AI migration FAQ

Can you migrate SageMaker models to Vertex AI?

Yes, artifacts and data move to Cloud Storage and the Model Registry; training jobs, pipelines, endpoints and SDK code are re-platformed onto Vertex AI.

How hard is it?

Medium. Models and data move cleanly; pipelines, custom containers, feature stores and IAM need rework because the platforms differ.

What replaces SageMaker Pipelines?

Vertex AI Pipelines (Kubeflow-based). Studio maps to Workbench, Endpoints to Vertex AI Endpoints, Feature Store to Vertex AI Feature Store.

Will my AWS integrations still work?

Workloads deeply embedded in AWS take more effort, SageMaker's AWS integration is a genuine strength. We assess those dependencies first and re-map them to GCP services.

How long does it take?

Days to weeks for a single model and endpoint; weeks to months for a full ML platform.
