MLOps (2)
The discipline of deploying, monitoring and maintaining machine learning systems reliably in production.
What MLOps (2) is
MLOps extends DevOps with the parts that are specific to learned systems: data versioning, experiment tracking, model registries, drift monitoring and retraining pipelines.
How it works
Pipelines automate data validation, training, evaluation gates, registration and deployment. Monitoring covers both service health and prediction quality, with alerts on distribution shift.
Why it matters
A model that is not monitored is a model that is quietly failing. Most of the total cost of an ML system arrives after launch.
Common uses
- →Automated retraining
- →Model registries and approval workflows
- →Drift and performance monitoring
Strengths
- ✓Reproducibility and auditability
- ✓Faster safe iteration
Watch for
- ✓Tooling sprawl
- ✓Overkill for a single model
