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.

Setting up the production infrastructure

In this section, we will set up the required infrastructure to serve our business use case (to predict weather conditions – raining or not raining at the port of Turku to plan and optimize resources at the port). We will set up an autoscaling Kubernetes cluster to deploy our ML model in the form of a web service. Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration system for automating software application deployment, scaling, and management. Many cloud service providers offer a Kubernetes-based infrastructure as a service. Similarly, Microsoft Azure provides a Kubernetes-based infrastructure as a service called Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). We will use AKS to orchestrate our infrastructure.

There are multiple ways to provision an autoscaling Kubernetes cluster on Azure. We will explore the following two ways to learn about the different perspectives of infrastructure provisioning:
