Overview

  • Understanding MLOps fundamentals and CI/CD for ML systems
  • Setting up version control for ML projects and data
  • Implementing automated testing for ML models
  • Building continuous training and deployment pipelines
  • Monitoring ML systems in production
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for ML environments

Implementation Scenarios

Version Control for ML Assets

DevOps Foundation

Setting up version control for code, data, and ML artifacts

Implementation Steps

  • Structuring ML projects for version control
  • Setting up Git workflows for ML teams
  • Data versioning with DVC and Git-LFS
  • ML experiment tracking and versioning
  • Model artifact versioning
  • CI/CD pipeline integration with Git actions

Code Example

# Example code for setting up Git and DVC for an ML project
# 1. Initialize Git repository
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "Initial commit"

# 2. Set up DVC for data versioning
pip install dvc
dvc init
dvc config core.autostage true

# 3. Add data sources to DVC tracking
mkdir -p data/raw data/processed
dvc add data/raw/training_data.csv
git add data/.gitignore data/raw/training_data.csv.dvc
git commit -m "Add raw training data"

# 4. Set up remote storage for data
dvc remote add -d storage s3://my-ml-bucket/dvcstore
dvc push

# 5. Create simple CI workflow for GitHub Actions
cat > .github/workflows/ml-pipeline.yml << EOF

  push:
    branches: [ main ]
  pull_request:
