COURSE OBJECTIVES:
MLOps focuses on the deployment, testing, monitoring, and automation of ML systems in production. ML engineers use tools for continuous improvement and evaluation of deployed models. They work to enable fast and flexibile deploying the best performing ML models.
This course introduces students to MLOps tools and best practices for deploying, evaluating, monitoring and operating production ML systems on Google Cloud AI Platform.
In addition to UI operations, you also learn extensively how to program and automate MLOps tasks by using Google AI Unified API services
The course offers both theoretical and practical, lab-heavy modules. By completing you would be able to:
Identify and use core technologies required to support effective MLOps.
Implement reliable and repeatable training and inference workflows.
Configure and provision Google Cloud frameworks for reliable and effective MLOps environments.
Integrate ML workflows with overall data workflows to maintain end-to-end ML pipelines
Build key skills for Google professional ML engineers Link to certification
This course is packed with practical exercises and code labs.
* We meet twice a week at online classroom (powered by zoom)
* Practical walkthroughs that present solutions to actual, real-world problems and challenges
* A no-nonsense teaching style that cuts through all the cruft and help you master MLOps on Google Cloud AI Platform
