The Google Cloud Platform Terms of Service (section "Discontinuation of Services") defines the deprecation policy that applies to Vertex AI. The deprecation policy only applies to the services, features, or products listed therein.
After a service, feature, or product is officially deprecated, it continues to be available for at least the period of time defined in the Terms of Service. After this period of time, the service is scheduled for shutdown.
| Feature | Deprecated date | Shutdown date | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| AutoML Video | July 31, 2024 | July 31, 2025 | AutoML Video is no longer available. See Video tuning for detailed instructions for fine-tuning Gemini on video data using supervised learning. |
| AutoML Text | September 15, 2024 | June 15, 2025 | Starting on September 15, 2024, you can only customize Text classification, entity extraction, and sentiment analysis objectives by moving to Vertex AI Gemini prompts and tuning. Training or updating models for Vertex AI AutoML for Text classification, entity extraction, and sentiment analysis objectives will no longer be available. You can continue using existing Vertex AI AutoML Text models until June 15, 2025. For more information about how Gemini offers enhanced user experience through improved prompting capabilities, see Introduction to tuning. |
| Legacy AI Platform Training | January 23, 2023 | April 7, 2025 | Migrate to Vertex AI custom training, which includes all functionality of legacy AI Platform Training as well as new features. |
| Legacy AI Platform Prediction | January 23, 2023 | April 7, 2025 | All models, associated metadata, and deployments were deleted after the shutdown date. Migrate your resources to Vertex AI prediction to get the latest machine learning features, simplify end-to-end journeys, and productionize models with MLOps. |
| Vertex AI Workbench managed notebooks | January 16, 2024 | April 14, 2025 |
On April 14, 2025, support for managed notebooks ended, and the ability to create managed notebooks instances was removed. Existing instances will continue to function until March 30, 2026, but patches, updates, and upgrades won't be available. On March 30, 2026, all managed notebooks instances and their associated data will be deleted. There is no recovery of managed notebooks instances after deletion. There isn't a way to convert these instances to Compute Engine virtual machines (VMs). To continue using Vertex AI Workbench, migrate your managed notebooks instances to Vertex AI Workbench instances before March 30, 2026. |
| Vertex AI Workbench user-managed notebooks | January 16, 2024 | April 14, 2025 |
On April 14, 2025, support for user-managed notebooks ended, and the ability to create user-managed notebooks instances was removed. Existing instances will continue to function until March 30, 2026, but patches, updates, and upgrades won't be available. On March 30, 2026, your user-managed notebooks instances will be converted to standard Compute Engine virtual machines (VMs). You will have full control over these VMs, but they won't be supported or available through Vertex AI Workbench. You will incur costs for these Compute Engine VMs, so we recommend that you delete any VMs that you don't plan to use. To continue using Vertex AI Workbench, migrate your user-managed notebooks instances to Vertex AI Workbench instances before March 30, 2026. |
