    • Q: What exactly does Cloud Prediction API end-of-life mean?

      A: End-of-life means that after May 1st, 2018, Google Cloud Platform will no longer be providing technical support, additional releases, or any other support for that version of the software and users won't be able to access Cloud Prediction API.

    • Q: Why is Google Cloud Platform no longer supporting Cloud Prediction API?

      A: As we've expanded our Cloud Machine Learning services, many of the use-cases supported by Cloud Prediction API can be better served by Cloud Machine Learning Engine.
