Breaking boundaries: Empowering channel partners to unite DevOps and MLOps for a stronger software supply chain
"DevOps pipelines are built around continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), emphasizing speed and reliability. MLOps, on the other hand, introduces stages such as data preparation, training models, and validation. When these operations are managed separately, the handoff from data science to engineering can be slow and error-prone. Data scientists may work in one environment, while engineers work in another, often requiring manual steps that disrupt the overall software lifecycle."
"Different toolchains only exacerbate the problem. DevOps and MLOps both require automation, reproducibility, and version control. However, keeping two systems running at the same time is a waste of resources when they're designed to achieve the same goal. Channel providers who serve these infrastructures typically have to deal with many of these cases, adding complexity without delivering extra value. Silos between teams further complicate matters, with broken communication and misaligned objectives."
"Unlike traditional code, ML models often rely on dynamic, data-driven outputs that can change depending on their training data or hyperparameters used. As a result, they don't always fit neatly into existing DevOps pipelines, meaning standard testing, validation, or security checks can be skipped or inconsistently applied. These problems increase the time it takes to get AI-powered features to market. Limited traceability of model versions, training data, and h"
Businesses incorporating machine learning face challenges integrating DevOps and MLOps. DevOps pipelines focus on CI/CD, speed, and reliability, while MLOps adds data preparation, model training, and validation. Separate management causes slow, error-prone handoffs, manual steps, and environment mismatches. Different toolchains duplicate effort and waste resources. Channel providers can add complexity without extra value. ML models are dynamic, changing with data and hyperparameters, and often bypass standard testing, validation, and security checks. These issues increase time-to-market and reduce traceability of model versions and training data, compromising reproducibility and operational reliability.
