MLOps: What You Need To Know

MLOps is a relatively new concept in the AI (Artificial Intelligence) world and stands for "machine learning operations." Its about how to best manage data scientists and operations people to allow for the effective development, deployment and monitoring of models. "MLOps is the natural progression of DevOps in the context of AI," said Samir Tout, who is a Professor of Cybersecurity at the Eastern Michigan University's School of Information Security & Applied Computing (SISAC). "While it leverages DevOps' focus on security, compliance, and management of IT resources, MLOps' real emphasis is on the consistent and smooth development of models and their scalability." The origins of MLOps goes back to 2015 from a paper entitled "Hidden Technical Debt in Machine Learning Systems."
