Configuring the Vertex AI integration in a RAG Pipeline

You can think of the Vertex AI integration as having two parts to it. The first is authorization for your region. This part is re-usable across pipelines and allows you to connect to this same integration in different pipelines without providing the credentials and specifying the region every time.

The second part is the configuration that's specific to your RAG Pipeline, which allows you to specify which foundation model to use.
