Session Title

Reinventing DevOps for Machine Learning Applications

Session Overview

"Are you interested in the practical challenges the brave new world of machine learning has for the DevOps professionals? Have you wondered how one tests machine learning applications? In short, have you ever been pained by how revolutionary tech stacks have made regular DevOps practices irrelevant or costly? If yes, this session is for you.

When it comes to Machine Learning applications, we need to rethink DevOps a little bit. What to test when the output of the system is not deterministic? How does one know optimal training is done and quality is acceptable? In such tech stacks, deterministic DevOps is impossible.

This talk aims to explore the challenges DevOps practitioners face at the face of revolutionary tech stacks and some meaningful ways of dealing with such challenges. Come join us to explore how one could practice DevOps in machine learning apps with examples and demos."
