Overview
This course introduces participants to MLOps tools and best practices for deploying, evaluating, monitoring and operating production ML systems on Google Cloud. MLOps is a discipline focused on the deployment, testing, monitoring, and automation of ML systems in production. Machine Learning Engineering professionals use tools for continuous improvement and evaluation of deployed models. They work with (or can be) Data Scientists, who develop models, to enable velocity and rigor in deploying the best performing models.
Target Audience
This course is best suited for:
- Data Scientists looking to quickly go from machine learning prototype to production to deliver business impact.
- Software Engineers looking to develop Machine Learning Engineering skills.
- ML Engineers who want to adopt Google Cloud.
