Engineering MLOps

By: Emmanuel Raj

Overview of this book

Engineering MLps presents comprehensive insights into MLOps coupled with real-world examples in Azure to help you to write programs, train robust and scalable ML models, and build ML pipelines to train and deploy models securely in production. The book begins by familiarizing you with the MLOps workflow so you can start writing programs to train ML models. Then you’ll then move on to explore options for serializing and packaging ML models post-training to deploy them to facilitate machine learning inference, model interoperability, and end-to-end model traceability. You’ll learn how to build ML pipelines, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, and monitor pipelines to systematically build, deploy, monitor, and govern ML solutions for businesses and industries. Finally, you’ll apply the knowledge you’ve gained to build real-world projects. By the end of this ML book, you'll have a 360-degree view of MLOps and be ready to implement MLOps in your organization.

Introduction to APIs and microservices

APIs and microservices are powerful tools that help to enable your ML (ML) models to become useful in production or legacy systems for serving the models or communicating with other components of the system. Using APIs and microservices, you can design a robust and scalable ML solution to cater to your business needs. Let's take a look at what APIs and microservices are and how they realize your model's potential in the real world.

What is an Application Programming Interface (API)?

An API is the gateway that enables developers to communicate with an application. APIs enable two things:

  • Access to an application's data
  • The use of an application's functionality

By accessing and communicating with application data and functionalities, APIs have enabled the world's electronics, applications, and web pages to communicate with each other in order to work together to accomplish business or operations...
