Practical MLOps: Operationalizing Machine Learning Models
Purchase options and add-ons
Getting your models into production is the fundamental challenge of machine learning. MLOps offers a set of proven principles aimed at solving this problem in a reliable and automated way. This insightful guide takes you through what MLOps is (and how it differs from DevOps) and shows you how to put it into practice to operationalize your machine learning models.
Current and aspiring machine learning engineers--or anyone familiar with data science and Python--will build a foundation in MLOps tools and methods (along with AutoML and monitoring and logging), then learn how to implement them in AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. The faster you deliver a machine learning system that works, the faster you can focus on the business problems you're trying to crack. This book gives you a head start.
You'll discover how to:
- Apply DevOps best practices to machine learning
- Build production machine learning systems and maintain them
- Monitor, instrument, load-test, and operationalize machine learning systems
- Choose the correct MLOps tools for a given machine learning task
- Run machine learning models on a variety of platforms and devices, including mobile phones and specialized hardware

From the Publisher
How This Book Is Organized
We designed this book so that you can consume each chapter as a standalone section designed to give you immediate help. At the end of each chapter are discussion questions that are intended to spur critical thinking and technical exercises to improve your understanding of the material.
These discussion questions and exercises are also well suited for use in the classroom in a Data Science, Computer Science, or MBA program and for the motivated self-learner. The final chapter contains several case studies helpful in building a work portfolio as an expert in MLOps.
The book is divided into 12 chapters, which we’ll break down a little more in the following section. At the end of the book, there is an appendix with a collection of valuable resources for implementing MLOps.
Chapters
The first few chapters cover the theory and practice of both DevOps and MLOps. One of the items covered is how to set up continuous integration and continuous delivery. Another critical topic is Kaizen, i.e., the idea of continuous improvement in everything.
There are three chapters on cloud computing that cover AWS, Azure, and GCP. Alfredo, a developer advocate for Microsoft, is an ideal source of knowledge for MLOps on the Azure platform. Likewise, Noah has spent years getting students trained on cloud computing and working with the education arms of Google, AWS, and Azure. These chapters are an excellent way to get familiar with cloud-based MLOps.
Other chapters cover critical technical areas of MLOps, including AutoML, containers, edge computing, and model portability. These topics encompass many cutting-edge emerging technologies with active traction.
Finally, in the last chapter, Noah covers a real-world case study of his time at a social media startup and the challenges they faced doing MLOps.
Appendixes
The appendixes are a collection of essays, ideas, and valuable items that cropped up in years between finishing Python for DevOps (O’Reilly) and this book. The primary way to use them is to help you make decisions about the future.
Exercise Questions
In this book’s exercises, a helpful heuristic considers how you can leverage them into a portfolio using GitHub and a YouTube walkthrough of what you did. In keeping with the expression “a picture is worth a thousand words,” a YouTube link to a walkthrough of a reproducible GitHub project on a resume may be worth 10,000 words and puts the resume in a new category of qualification for a job.
