In this first chapter, we motivate the use of MLOps in an industrial setting. You’ll learn about its importance in supporting the generation of value in businesses. You’ll also recap the ML stages, focusing on how MLOps enhances these. At the end of the chapter, you’ll explore a reference architecture for a fully automated MLOps system. You will then use this architecture to explore components important for any MLOps system and a starting point for the rest of the course.

Exercise 1: Introduction to fully automated MLOps Exercise 2: Hidden technical debt must be paid Exercise 3: Hidden tech debt in ML is different Exercise 4: MLOps lifecycle stages Exercise 5: Fully automated MLOps Exercise 6: To automate or not to automate...Exercise 7: Building for scale Exercise 8: Reference architecture: Fully automated MLOps Exercise 9: Reference architectures in IT and MLOps Exercise 10: MLOps architecture components

In this chapter, you will continue your exploration of the critical components that make up a fully automated MLOps system. First, you’ll examine the importance of orchestration in MLOps and how it helps to ensure the efficiency and scalability of ML pipelines. After this, you’ll examine the different deployment strategies in MLOps and learn how to choose the right strategy for your system. Finally, you’ll learn about CI/CD/CT/CM and how it complements orchestration and best practices to achieve full automation in MLOps systems. With these lessons under your belt, you will be better equipped to build a fully automated MLOps system that is efficient, accurate, and reliable.
