Complete guide to deploy ActualCode multi-agent system to Google Cloud's Vertex AI Agent Engine for production use.
According to Vertex AI Agent Engine documentation, Agent Engine provides:
✅ Production Runtime: Scalable, managed infrastructure for AI agents
✅ A2A Protocol Support: Native support for Agent-to-Agent communication
✅ Enterprise Security: CMEK, VPC Service Controls, HIPAA compliance
✅ Sessions & Memory: Built-in session management and Memory Bank
✅ Monitoring: Integrated logging, tracing, and monitoring
✅ Multi-Region: Available in 13+ regions globally
For Hackathon: This demonstrates production-ready, enterprise-grade deployment!
