MLOps Fundamental BootcampFundamental ⋅ DevOps or ML background

Notebook to production,and every stop after.

Getting a model to work once is data science. Keeping it trained, versioned, served, watched and retrained is MLOps. Learn the whole line: experiment tracking, feature stores, pipelines, serving, drift monitoring, CI/CD for ML and Kubernetes, mostly on AWS.

The job

Hold the train, or let it through.

A data scientist hands over a better model. Before it carries real traffic, an MLOps engineer checks it against what the business actually requires, not just its accuracy. Here are the requirements from the course's three capstones. Pick one, see what's holding the candidate, and fix it.

Requirements are from the capstone briefs in Lesson 12. The candidate models and their numbers are illustrative.

What changes between the notebook and production

Destinations

Where the line takes you.

The same skills are hired under several titles. Each board shows the lines (lessons) that stop there.

A Fundamental-tier bootcamp: expect the first level of these titles, coming from DevOps or from data science.

Who it's for

Which line are you changing from?

MLOps is the interchange between DevOps and machine learning. You need one of the two already; the bootcamp teaches the other half. Tick what you've actually done.

From the DevOps line

From the ML line

This is your line if you…

  • run infrastructure or pipelines and want to move into the ML platform space
  • are a data scientist or ML engineer whose models keep stalling before production
  • work with AWS and want to go deep on SageMaker, EKS and the AWS ML services
  • want written reference material you'll reopen on the job, and capstones to show employers

Probably not if you…

  • have neither a DevOps nor an ML background. Start with DevOps Beginner
  • want to learn ML theory or model design. This is about running models, not inventing them
  • want AI for IT operations (anomaly detection, alert noise). That's AIOps Fundamental
  • need video, live classes or a cohort. Everything here is written and self-paced
Network map

Ten lines. A hundred stations.

Each lesson is a line and each chapter a station. Where two chapters cover the same ground from different sides, you can change lines. Pick a line on the map, then a station.

Lesson 11 ⋅ Installation guide

12 chapters setting up the toolchain, ending with Killercoda, a free browser sandbox for Kubernetes and container practice.

Lesson 12 ⋅ Capstones

Three companies, three phases each, and a reference solution. See them ↓

Lesson 13 ⋅ Portfolio

Eight modules that turn the capstones into case studies, a model card and an experiment report.

One station

Chapter 6.3, stop by stop.

Data Drift Detection: five written sections, a practice set of five assignments and a 30-question assessment. Then try the chapter's most useful warning for yourself.

    Can an average hide a drifting model?

    A credit model's input feature, split into 10 equal-frequency bins on the training data, so each bin should hold 10%. Mobile users are 10% of traffic. Drift their distribution and compare the two monitors.

    Overall PSI (all users)–
    Mobile-only PSI–

    PSI = Σ (p − q) ⋅ ln(p / q), with a small epsilon for empty bins. Bands from Section B: under 0.10 stable, 0.10–0.20 investigate, over 0.20 significant, over 0.25 major.

    Capstones

    Three routes, end to end.

    Each capstone is a company with real constraints, worked through in three phases: data and feature assessment, pipeline and deployment design, then monitoring and rollout. The reference solution compares reasoning, not answers: four decisions, each with the option chosen and the alternative set aside.

    Lesson 13: turn the routes into a portfolio

    Eight modules make your capstone work something a hiring manager can judge, with guidance on anonymising anything confidential first.

    Salaries

    Fares by country.

    Gross annual base salary. Each country is a line running from a first MLOps role to senior; stations mark the sourced figures it's based on. Germany has real MLOps data; for the Netherlands and Belgium we read across related roles.

    Help point

    Stuck between stations? Ask Bob.

    Self-paced doesn't mean on your own. Mentor Bob is an AI study assistant in the corner of every section. It has already read the section you're on, so you can ask about it in your own words.

    • Answers from the section you're reading, not from the whole internet
    • Explains a concept another way, or with a new example
    • There in every lesson, at any hour. Included, not an upsell

    FAQ

    Before you board.

    I'm a data scientist. Is this for me?

    Yes, if you want your models to reach production and stay there. Expect the infrastructure lessons to be the steepest: containers and infrastructure as code (Lesson 1), CI/CD for ML (Lesson 7) and Kubernetes (Lesson 8). Lesson 11 walks you through installing the toolchain.

    I'm from DevOps. How much ML do I need?

    Enough to read Python. The course doesn't teach model theory; it teaches what you need to run models: training infrastructure, tuning, experiment tracking and registries in Lesson 2, and what drift and model quality mean in Lesson 6. Expect those to be the steepest lessons for you.

    How is this different from AIOps?

    MLOps runs machine-learning models in production: training, serving, monitoring and retraining them. AIOps uses data, ML and automation to run IT systems: anomaly detection, alert noise, automatic remediation. For the second, see AIOps Fundamental.

    Is it all AWS?

    It's AWS-focused: SageMaker (training, endpoints, pipelines, Feature Store, Model Monitor), EKS, Step Functions. It also covers the open tools teams use with it or instead: MLflow, Kubeflow, Airflow, Feast, KServe, Seldon, Triton, Ray, DVC, Evidently, ONNX and Argo, with comparisons between them.

    Is it hands-on?

    It's written material, but every chapter has a practice section built around realistic scenarios, with code and configuration to work through, plus an assessment with explained answers. The three capstones are where you design a whole system.

    Does it cover LLMs?

    Where they matter to operations, such as inference optimisation, GPU cost and serving. But the course is about running ML models in general, not building LLM applications. For that, see LLM Engineer for Beginners.

    How long will it take?

    That depends on your pace and background, so we don't promise a number of weeks. For scale, there are about 2.5 million words across the lessons, code included. Access is for life, so there's no deadline.

    What happens after I pay?

    Every lesson unlocks straight away in your dashboard, with Mentor Bob in each section. It's a one-time payment with lifetime access, so no subscription and no renewal.
