Building a smart machine learning model is like creating a powerful engine. But what good is a powerful engine if you don’t have the right car around it—the chassis, the wheels, the steering? In the world of artificial intelligence, MLOps is that complete car. It’s the set of practices that takes your brilliant AI model from a science experiment on a researcher’s laptop to a reliable, valuable tool that runs in the real world, day in and day out.
Many companies hit a frustrating wall. They invest time and money into developing clever AI, only to find they can’t deploy it reliably, monitor its performance, or update it without breaking things. This is where the journey from “model” to “machine learning system” often stalls. The solution is MLOps, or Machine Learning Operations. It brings together the best practices of DevOps—automation, collaboration, and monitoring—and applies them specifically to the machine learning lifecycle.
If you’re facing these challenges, you’re not alone. The good news is that expert help is available. DevOpsSchool offers specialized MLOps services and training designed to bridge this gap. Led by a globally recognized expert with over two decades of experience, they provide the roadmap and hands-on support to turn your AI ambitions into operational realities.
What is MLOps and Why Does Your Business Need It?
Let’s break down MLOps in simple terms. Imagine you have a team that builds models (data scientists) and a team that runs software (IT/operations). Often, these teams speak different languages and have different goals. MLOps is the common language and shared process that connects them. It creates a smooth pipeline for:
- Building Models: Using automated, repeatable steps so anyone can understand and recreate the work.
- Deploying Models: Getting the model out of the lab and safely into your app, website, or service where users can interact with it.
- Monitoring Models: Constantly checking to make sure the model is still working correctly as real-world data changes.
- Governing Models: Keeping track of different versions, who made them, and ensuring they meet company rules and regulations.
Without MLOps, companies struggle with “model drift” (where a model’s predictions become less accurate over time), manual and error-prone deployment processes, and an inability to scale their AI efforts. Adopting MLOps means faster time to market for AI features, more reliable performance, and the ability to manage hundreds of models as easily as one.
DevOpsSchool’s Comprehensive MLOps Services
DevOpsSchool doesn’t just teach MLOps theory; they provide end-to-end services to implement it within your organization. Their approach is practical, tool-agnostic, and focused on delivering real business value. Their suite of MLOps services is designed to meet you wherever you are on your AI journey.
Their services can be broadly categorized into three main areas:
- MLOps Consulting & Strategy: They start by understanding your unique goals, team structure, and existing technology. Then, they help you design a tailored MLOps strategy. This includes selecting the right tools and platforms (like Kubernetes, MLflow, Kubeflow, or cloud-specific services from AWS, Azure, or GCP), and designing the architecture for your machine learning pipelines.
- Implementation & Pipeline Development: This is where strategy becomes reality. Their experts roll up their sleeves to build and automate your CI/CD for ML. They set up the entire pipeline—from data ingestion and preparation, to model training and validation, to deployment, monitoring, and feedback loops. They ensure the process is robust, reproducible, and scalable.
- Training & Enablement: The best system is useless if your team doesn’t understand it. DevOpsSchool offers corporate training and workshops to upskill your data scientists, ML engineers, and DevOps teams. They empower your people with the knowledge to use and maintain the new MLOps practices independently.
Whether you need help with a specific tool like MLflow or a full-scale enterprise MLOps platform implementation, their services are structured to provide clear, measurable outcomes.
Course Overview: MLOps Certified Professional
For professionals looking to build or validate their expertise, DevOpsSchool offers the MLOps Certified Professional program. This isn’t a simple lecture series; it’s a deep dive into the practical skills needed to design, build, and maintain production-grade ML systems.
The course covers the full spectrum of the MLOps lifecycle:
- Introduction to MLOps: Core concepts, benefits, and the overall workflow.
- Data and Model Management: Versioning datasets and models with tools like DVC and MLflow.
- CI/CD for Machine Learning: Automating testing, building, and deployment of ML pipelines.
- Model Deployment Strategies: From simple REST APIs to scalable serving on Kubernetes.
- Monitoring & Observability: Tracking model performance, data drift, and system health in production.
- Governance and Scalability: Implementing best practices for managing multiple models and teams.
A key benefit that sets this certification apart is the lifetime access it provides. Enrollees get lifetime access to the Learning Management System (LMS), lifetime technical support, and practical resources like interview kits and training notes. This ensures your learning continues to grow long after the course ends.
Here is a comparison of what you typically get with a standard online tutorial versus the structured, supported approach of the DevOpsSchool certification:
| Feature | Standard Online Tutorial / Course | DevOpsSchool’s MLOps Certified Professional Program |

| Learning Path | Often scattered or tool-specific | Structured, end-to-end coverage of the complete MLOps lifecycle |
| Support | Limited forums or none | Lifetime technical support from experts |
| Content Access | Usually limited (6-12 months) | Lifetime LMS access with updated materials |
| Practical Focus | Theory or basic demos | Hands-on labs & real-world projects |
| Career Help | Rarely included | Interview preparation kits & guidance |
| Instructor | Often an academic or junior professional | 20+ year industry expert (Rajesh Kumar) with real consulting experience |

Questions and Answers (Q&A)
Q: My team has data scientists but no dedicated ML engineers. Can your services still help?
A: Absolutely. A key part of our MLOps consulting is to design processes and automation that empower your existing data scientists to deploy and manage models more independently, while also helping to define if and when you need to grow your team with ML engineering roles.
Q: We are just starting with our first ML project. Is it too early for MLOps?
A: It’s the perfect time! Starting with MLOps principles from day one (“MLOps from Day 0”) prevents costly rework later. We can help you set up a simple, scalable pipeline that grows with your project, avoiding the common pitfalls that teams face when they try to add operations as an afterthought.
Q: What are the main tools you work with?
A: We work with the industry’s leading and most effective tools. This includes MLflow for experiment tracking and model registry, Kubernetes for scalable deployment, Docker for containerization, and all major cloud platforms (AWS SageMaker, Azure ML, GCP Vertex AI). We choose the right tool based on your specific environment and goals.
Q: How long does it take to see results from implementing MLOps?
A: The timeline varies based on your starting point and project complexity. However, even a basic automated pipeline for a single model can often be set up in a matter of weeks, immediately reducing deployment errors and providing basic monitoring. The full cultural and process transformation is an ongoing journey.
