This document discusses machine learning development lifecycles and tools. It notes that ML development differs from traditional development due to large datasets and computational needs. Training models can be very expensive requiring GPUs, TPUs, and significant computing resources. Kubernetes has become popular for deploying ML workloads but adds complexity with additional components required for networking, load balancing, and managing state. The document recommends starting simply by running Kubernetes locally before exploring more advanced ML tools that integrate with Kubernetes like Kubeflow, TensorRT inference server, and Pachyderm for data versioning. It stresses the importance of observability tools like metrics, logs, and traces for understanding errors in complex distributed ML systems.
