MLOps (Machine Learning Operations) is a set of practices that combines machine learning, DevOps, and data engineering to reliably build, deploy, and maintain ML models in production. It covers automation of training pipelines, continuous integration/delivery for models, monitoring, and governance to ensure models remain accurate and performant over time. ML engineers and platform teams use MLOps practices and tools like MLflow, Kubeflow, and SageMaker to bridge the gap between experimental model development and production reliability.
