MLOps for AI Engineers and Data Scientists

MLOps concepts will be taught with a real-world case study i.e. estimating daily energy generated from the sun(solar energy) using Abuja city. It will be implemented using Machine Learning and Deep Learning FrameWork.

Objective

The aim of this course is to teach AI/Data Scientist/ML Engineers to understand MLOps, and also how to deploy models across different resources and different cloud platforms.

At the end of the session, you will be able to have:

• Knowledge of MLOps implementation.
• Know how to deploy machine learning and deep learning models across different cloud infrastructures.
• Understand the automation of model deployments.

• Fundamental knowledge of how to develop and train machine learning and deep learning models.
• Some intermediate knowledge of python programming is necessary. And some knowledge of flask or fast API development will be an added advantage.
• Basic understanding of cloud computing: cloud storage(s3, azure blob, google cloud bucket), cloud virtual machine instances(ec2, data store ).
