MLOPs Primer
Machine learning operations (MLOps) is becoming an exciting space as we figure out the best practices and technologies to deploy machine learning models in the real world. MLOps enable ML teams to build responsible and scalable machine learning systems and infrastructure. This facilitates tasks that range from risk assessment to building and testing to monitoring. While still in its infancy, MLOps has attracted machine learning engineers and software engineers in general. With every new paradigm comes new challenges and opportunities to learn. In this primer, we highlight a few available resources to upskill and inform yourself on the latest in the world of MLOps. We have listed a few educational resources as a start but plan to build this out as a more comprehensive guide for the future.
