Overview
Hands-on Python for MLOps
Build powerful APIs, tools, and scripts with Python
Use Python to create APIs and automation scripts for machine learning operations. Learn to leverage APIs, build CLI tools, and develop web services. If you are new to Machine Learning Operations or want to know more about the foundations of Python for MLOps, this course will walk you through the basics.
In this course, you'll learn how to use Python for automation, APIs, and building useful command-line interfaces. We'll cover consuming APIs, creating CLI tools, packaging projects, and building web services to expose machine learning models.
The course includes hands-on examples and projects so you can apply what you learn right away. By the end of the course, you'll have practical skills to automate workflows and develop interfaces for machine learning.
This course includes GitHub repositories you can reference:
