How-to Guides

Datalab is deprecated and new Datalab instances cannot be created by using the datalab create command. Vertex AI Workbench provides a notebook-based environment that offers capabilities beyond Datalab. We recommend that you use Vertex AI Workbench for new projects and migrate your Datalab notebooks to Vertex AI Workbench. For more information, see Deprecation information. To get help migrating Datalab projects to Vertex AI Workbench see Get help.
