Advanced Machine Learning Operations

In this course, you will be provided with a comprehensive understanding of the machine learning lifecycle and MLOps, emphasizing best practices for data and model management, testing, and scalable architectures. It covers key MLOps components, including CI/CD, pipeline management, and environment separation, while showcasing Databricks’ tools for automation and infrastructure management, such as Declarative Automation Bundles (DABs), Lakeflow Jobs, and Model Serving. You will learn about monitoring, custom metrics, drift detection, model rollout strategies, A/B testing, and the principles of reliable MLOps systems, providing a holistic view of implementing and managing ML projects in Databricks.

Note:

1. This course is the second in the series of Advanced Machine Learning.

Model Development at Scale

In this course, you will learn to design and implement machine learning workflows that scale from a single machine to distributed compute on Databricks. The curriculum is organized into three modules: foundations of model development (when and why to distribute, and how Spark executes work), scalable model development with Spark ML and MLflow, and distributed model training with Ray and PyTorch — closing with a framework for choosing the right tool for a given workload.

Through hands-on demos and labs, you will build distributed Spark ML pipelines using Transformers, Estimators, and the fit/transform paradigm; scale existing pandas code with the Pandas API on Spark; and track, compare, and govern experiments with MLflow 3 and Unity Catalog. You will then train models across a cluster with Ray Train and PyTorch (TorchDistributor and DeepSpeed), and learn to match each workload to the right framework based on data size, model size, hardware, and cost.

The course concludes with a capstone that takes a problem end to end — engineering features, training a model at scale, tracking it with MLflow, and registering it in Unity Catalog with a governance alias. (Production deployment, serving, and monitoring are covered in the separate Advanced MLOps course.)

By the end, you will be able to choose, build, and justify distributed, reproducible, and governed model-development workflows on Databricks.
