Migration Services
Move SageMaker machine learning and generative AI workloads to Vertex AI through a structured migration focused on scalable development, MLOps, and deployment.
Why Vertex AI?
Use managed notebooks, custom training, AutoML, experiments, pipelines, and scalable compute within one AI environment.
Register, version, evaluate, govern, and deploy models through Vertex AI Model Registry.
Automate training and deployment using Vertex AI Pipelines, metadata, model evaluation, monitoring, and CI/CD integrations.
Access Gemini and selected open and third-party models for generative AI development, customization, evaluation, grounding, and deployment.
How We Migrate
Review SageMaker Studio environments, notebooks, training jobs, pipelines, models, features, endpoints, monitoring, security, and AWS dependencies.
Define the Vertex AI architecture for development, training, experiments, pipelines, registry, prediction, monitoring, networking, and governance.
Adapt notebooks, training code, containers, dependencies, datasets, and compute configurations for Vertex AI Workbench and managed training.
Move model artifacts, experiment metadata, pipeline logic, registry processes, endpoints, batch inference, and monitoring workflows.
Compare predictions, metrics, latency, throughput, security, monitoring, and business outcomes before transitioning production workloads.
Why Codimite?
Codimite combines Google Cloud architecture, data science, machine learning engineering, MLOps, and generative AI expertise.
Start Your MigrationWorkload and Dependency Discovery. We identify notebooks, frameworks, containers, datasets, features, models, pipelines, endpoints, and connected AWS services.
Capability-Based Target Mapping. We map each SageMaker workload to the appropriate Vertex AI, BigQuery, Dataflow, Dataproc, or supporting Google Cloud service.
Reproducible MLOps Migration. We rebuild training and deployment workflows with versioned components, tracked metadata, automated evaluation, and controlled releases.
Controlled Production Transition. We reduce risk through benchmark testing, shadow predictions, parallel inference, staged traffic, monitoring, and rollback planning.

FAQs
Codimite can migrate SageMaker notebooks, training code, model artifacts, containers, experiments, pipelines, feature workflows, registry metadata, endpoints, monitoring, and connected machine learning processes.
Not directly. Each SageMaker capability must be assessed and mapped to the most suitable Vertex AI or supporting Google Cloud service based on the workload, architecture, and operational requirements.
Often yes. Reuse depends on the model framework, serialization format, runtime dependencies, data access, container configuration, and Vertex AI training or prediction requirements.
Pipeline logic can be rebuilt using Vertex AI Pipelines, experiment data can be mapped to Vertex AI Experiments and ML Metadata, and model versions and approvals can move to Vertex AI Model Registry.
Endpoints are redesigned using Vertex AI online or batch prediction. Feature workflows may move to Vertex AI Feature Store or BigQuery, while monitoring is rebuilt using Vertex AI Model Monitoring and Cloud Monitoring.
We compare feature inputs, evaluation metrics, predictions, latency, throughput, explainability, monitoring behavior, security, and business acceptance criteria before production cutover.
Assess your SageMaker models, pipelines, endpoints, features, and MLOps workflows to build a practical Vertex AI migration roadmap.
