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.

Serving, monitoring, and maintaining models in production

There is no point in deploying a model or an ML system and not monitoring it. Monitoring performance is one of the most important aspects of an ML system. Monitoring enables us to analyze and map out the business impact an ML system offers to stakeholders in a qualitative and quantitative manner. In order to achieve maximum business impact, users of ML systems need to be served in the most convenient manner. After that, they can consume the ML system and generate value. In previous chapters, we developed and deployed an ML model to predict the weather conditions at a port as part of the business use case that we had been solving for practical implementation. In this chapter, we will revisit the Explainable Monitoring framework that we discussed in Chapter 11, Key Principles for Monitoring Your ML System, and implement it within our business use case. In Figure 12.1, we can see the Explainable Monitoring framework and some of...
