MLOps with Red Hat OpenShift

By: Ross Brigoli, Faisal Masood

Overview of this book

MLOps with OpenShift offers practical insights for implementing MLOps workflows on the dynamic OpenShift platform. As organizations worldwide seek to harness the power of machine learning operations, this book lays the foundation for your MLOps success. Starting with an exploration of key MLOps concepts, including data preparation, model training, and deployment, you’ll prepare to unleash OpenShift capabilities, kicking off with a primer on containers, pods, operators, and more. With the groundwork in place, you’ll be guided to MLOps workflows, uncovering the applications of popular machine learning frameworks for training and testing models on the platform. As you advance through the chapters, you’ll focus on the open-source data science and machine learning platform, Red Hat OpenShift Data Science, and its partner components, such as Pachyderm and Intel OpenVino, to understand their role in building and managing data pipelines, as well as deploying and monitoring machine learning models. Armed with this comprehensive knowledge, you’ll be able to implement MLOps workflows on the OpenShift platform proficiently.

Understanding operators

In traditional organizations, specialized and dedicated teams were required to maintain applications and other software components such as databases, caches, and messaging components. Moreover, those teams were continuously observing the software ecosystem and doing specific things, such as taking backups for databases, upgrading and patching newer versions of software components, and more.

Operators in Kubernetes are like system administrators or human operators, continuously monitoring applications running on the Kubernetes environment and performing operational tasks associated with the specific component. In summary, an operator extends Kubernetes to automate the management of the complete life cycle of an application. For example, a PostgreSQL operator automates the database’s high availability, installation, patching, and backup abilities, to name a few. Many operators are available for various software components, such as databases, caches,...
