Use the
c4a-standard-4 machine type with four vCPUs and 16 GB of memory.Open TCP port
8000 with a VPC firewall rule. After you start the project’s HTTP server, visit http://EXTERNAL_IP:8000. A page that loads confirms the rule and service are configured.Install Python 3.11. Additionally, install development tools with zypper to support building OpenCV’s pip package.
Use the
~/opencv-project directory and a virtual environment named cv-env. Run subsequent scripts from that directory with the environment activated.Use
joblib.dump in the training script to save the classifier as iris_model.joblib and the label names as iris_labels.joblib. In the OpenCV pipeline, use joblib.load to load both files so you can generate predictions without retraining the model.
