A simple guide to MLOps through ZenML and its various integrations.

ZenBytes

ZenBytes is a series of short practical MLOps lessons through ZenML and its various integrations. It is intended for people looking to learn about MLOps generally, and also for ML practitioners who want to get started with ZenML.

🚩 ZenML 0.20.0 chapters coming soon!

The release of ZenML 0.20.0 marks a big breaking change in ZenML history, and requires an equally big update to this repository. The ZenML team is working on this renovation as we speak, and will bring you a brand-new ZenBytes with the latest ZenML soon!

💡 What you will learn

• Define an MLOps stack tailored to your project requirements.
• Build transparent and reproducible data-centric ML pipelines with automated artifact versioning, tracking, caching, and more.
• Deploy ML pipelines with tooling and infrastructure of your choice (e.g. as a serverless microservice in the cloud).
• Monitor and address production issues like training-serving skew and data drift.
• Use some of the most popular MLOps tools like ZenML, Kubeflow, MLflow, Weights & Biases, Evidently, Seldon, Feast, and many more.

In the end, you will be able to take any of your ML models from experimentation to a customized, fully fleshed-out production-grade MLOps setup in a matter of minutes!

🙏 About ZenML

ZenML is an extensible, open-source MLOps framework for creating production-ready ML pipelines. Built for data scientists, it has a simple, flexible syntax, is cloud- and tool-agnostic, and has interfaces/abstractions that are catered towards ML workflows.

💻 Setup

System Requirements

• Linux or MacOS
• Python 3.7 or 3.8
• Jupyter notebook and ZenML: pip install zenml notebook

Integrations

As you progress through the course, you will need to install additional packages for the various other MLOps tools we will use. You will find corresponding instructions in the respective notebooks, but we recommend you install all integrations ahead of time with the following command:

zenml integration install sklearn wandb evidently mlflow -y

🚀 Getting Started

If you haven't done so already, clone ZenBytes to your local machine. Then, use Jupyter Notebook to go through the course lesson-by-lesson, starting with 1-1_Pipelines.ipynb:

git clone https://github.com/zenml-io/zenbytes
cd zenbytes
jupyter notebook

❓ FAQ

1. ZenML cannot find a component even though I have it in my stack

Updating or switching your ZenML stack is sometimes not immediately loaded in Jupyter notebooks.

Solution: First, make sure you really have the correct component installed and registered in your currently active stack with zenml stack describe. If the component is indeed there, restart the kernel of your Jupyter notebook, which will also reload the stack.
