MLOps will help you to understand how to build the Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery pipeline for a ML/AI project. We will be using the Azure DevOps Project for build and release/deployment pipelines along with Azure ML services for model retraining pipeline, model management and operationalization.

This reference architecture shows how to implement continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), and retraining pipeline for an AI application using Azure DevOps and Azure Machine Learning. The solution is built on the scikit-learn diabetes dataset but can be easily adapted for any AI scenario and other popular build systems such as Jenkins and Travis.
1. Data Scientist writes/updates the code and push it to git repo. This triggers the Azure DevOps build pipeline (continuous integration).
35
-
2. Once the Azure DevOps build pipeline is triggered, it runs following types of tasks:
36
-
- Run for new code: Every time new code is committed to the repo, the build pipeline performs data sanity tests and unit tests on the new code.
37
-
- One-time run: These tasks runs only for the first time the build pipeline runs. It will programatically create an [Azure ML Service Workspace](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/concept-azure-machine-learning-architecture#workspace), provision [Azure ML Compute](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/how-to-set-up-training-targets#amlcompute) (used for model training compute), and publish an [Azure ML Pipeline](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/concept-ml-pipelines). This published Azure ML pipeline is the model training/retraining pipeline.

Once the Azure DevOps build pipeline is triggered, it performs code quality checks, data sanity tests, unit tests, builds an [Azure ML Pipeline](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/concept-ml-pipelines) and publishes it in an [Azure ML Service Workspace](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/concept-azure-machine-learning-architecture#workspace).

Once you have registered your ML model, you can use Azure ML + Azure DevOps to deploy it.

The **Package Model** task packages the new model along with the scoring file and its python dependencies into a [docker image](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/concept-azure-machine-learning-architecture#image) and pushes it to [Azure Container Registry](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-registry/container-registry-intro). This image is used to deploy the model as [web service](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/concept-azure-machine-learning-architecture#web-service).

The **Deploy Model** task handles deploying your Azure ML model to the cloud (ACI or AKS).

This pipeline deploys the model scoring image into Staging/QA and PROD environments.

In the Staging/QA environment, one task creates an [Azure Container Instance](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-overview) and deploys the scoring image as a [web service](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/concept-azure-machine-learning-architecture#web-service) on it.

[Azure DevOps release pipeline](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/release/?view=azure-devops) packages the new model along with the scoring file and its python dependencies into a [docker image](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/concept-azure-machine-learning-architecture#image) and pushes it to [Azure Container Registry](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-registry/container-registry-intro). This image is used to deploy the model as [web service](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/concept-azure-machine-learning-architecture#web-service) across QA and Prod environments. The QA environment is running on top of [Azure Container Instances (ACI)](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/container-instances/) and the Prod environemt is built with [Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/intro-kubernetes).

5. The deployment in production is a [gated release](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/release/approvals/gates?view=azure-devops). This means that once the model web service deployment in the Staging/QA environment is successful, a notification is sent to approvers to manually review and approve the release. Once the release is approved, the model scoring web service is deployed to [Azure Kubernetes Service(AKS)](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/intro-kubernetes) and the deployment is tested.
