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.

Understanding the need for testing and securing your ML application

The growing adoption of data-driven and ML-based solutions is causing businesses to have to handle growing workloads, exposing them to extra levels of complexities and vulnerabilities.

Cybersecurity is the most alarming risk for AI developers and adopters. According to a survey released by Deloitte (https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/focus/cognitive-technologies/state-of-ai-and-intelligent-automation-in-business-survey.html), in July 2020, 62% of adopters saw cybersecurity risks as a significant or extreme threat, but only 39% said they felt prepared to address those risks.

In this section, we will look into the need for securing ML-based systems and solutions. We will reflect on some of the broader challenges of ML systems such as bias, ethics, and explainability. We will also study some of the challenges present at each stage of the ML life cycle relating to confidentiality, integrity, and availability...
