Implementing CI/CD
CI/CD is a software engineering practice that promotes frequent code integration and automated deployment. This approach is becoming increasingly popular in ML projects to ensure models are constantly improved, validated, and deployed in a streamlined manner. In Azure Machine Learning, there are multiple tools and services to help you implement CI/CD in your ML life cycle.
- By using VS Code with Azure Machine Learning extensions for development, we can develop our scripts.
- Those scripts can be version-controlled using Git repositories (such as GitHub or Azure Repos).
- If we have the expertise, we can set up automated testing to validate our models. This might include unit tests, integration tests, and other validation or data checks.
- We can configure Azure Pipelines to automatically trigger when changes are made to the repository. A CI/CD pipeline could include the following:
- Training the model
- Logging metrics...
