AI Agents, Agent Platform and ADK
The developer and architect side of AI on Google Cloud. These guides explain Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (formerly Vertex AI), how to build agents with the Agent Development Kit, deploy them to Agent Runtime, connect tools through MCP and let agents talk to each other with A2A. Security, evaluation and model choice get their own guides, so agents reach production with the same controls as any other system.
