=======AI/ML Operations Pipeline
Google Cloud MLOps Platform with Vertex AI & Kubeflow
From Manual ML to Automated MLOps at Scale
🎯 The Challenge: Enterprise MLOps at Scale
Required to build a production-grade machine learning operations platform supporting the complete ML lifecycle from data ingestion to model deployment, monitoring, and retraining with automated governance and compliance for enterprise AI initiatives.
🚨 The ML Operations Challenge
- Manual ML Processes: Data scientists manually managing training and deployment
- Model Drift: No automated monitoring or retraining for degrading models
- Deployment Complexity: Inconsistent environments and manual model serving
- Governance Gaps: No model versioning, lineage, or compliance tracking
- Scaling Bottlenecks: Limited ability to train multiple models simultaneously
