This course introduces MLOps, a methodology that applies DevOps practices, like continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), to ML workflows. You will learn about creating continuous flow structures to invoke pipelines. You will also make critical decisions about deployment infrastructure and automation strategies, focusing on risk mitigation and performance enhancement in production environments. Finally, this course covers building and integrating mechanisms to retrain models, which is essential for accommodating new data or updates to model code.
