Managed notebooks versions
Vertex AI Workbench managed notebooks isdeprecated. On
April 14, 2025, support for
managed notebooks will end and the ability to create managed notebooks instances
will be removed. Existing instances will continue to function
but patches, updates, and upgrades won't be available. To continue using
Vertex AI Workbench, we recommend that youmigrate
your managed notebooks instances to Vertex AI Workbench instances.
This page describes how Vertex AI Workbench managed notebooks versions
are named and how frequently they are updated.
Version names
Managed notebooks version names
match the naming convention ofDeep Learning VM Images versions.
Both are named with the letter M followed by a version number.
For example, the M93 versions of managed notebooks
and Deep Learning VM were released on May 27, 2022.
Managed notebooks and Deep Learning VM
releases that have the same version number also have matching
versions of frameworks and pre-installed packages.
For example, the M93 version of managed notebooks
contains a TensorFlow kernel that runs TensorFlow 2.9,
and the M93 version of Deep Learning VM
includes an image with a TensorFlow 2.9 environment.
Update frequency
Managed notebooks versions are not necessarily updated
at the same time as Deep Learning VM.
For example, the M91 version of managed notebooks
was released after the M91 version of Deep Learning VM.
Managed notebooks versions are not necessarily updated
as frequently as Deep Learning VM.
As a result, managed notebooks versions can skip
version numbers. For example,
Deep Learning VM released versions M91, M92, and M93,
while managed notebooks released versions M91 and M93.
