- Metaflow is a Python library for building and managing real-life data science projects.
- Onepanel is the open source, end-to-end computer vision platform.
- Orkestra is a cloud-native release orchestration and lifecycle management (LCM) platform for the fine-grained orchestration of inter-dependent Helm charts and their dependencies.
- Ploomber helps overcome the challenges of working with Jupyter notebooks and allows teams to develop collaborative, production-ready pipelines using JupyterLab or any text editor.
- provider-argocd is the Crossplane infrastructure provider for Argo CD.
- Seldon is an MLOps framework to package, deploy, monitor and manage thousands of production machine learning models.
- SQLFlow extends SQL to support AI and compiles the SQL program to a workflow that runs on Kubernetes.
- terraform-provider-argocd is the Terraform provider for Argo CD.
- Distributed Machine Learning Patterns teaches you how to take machine learning models from your personal laptop to large distributed clusters. You’ll explore key concepts and patterns behind successful distributed machine learning systems, and learn technologies like TensorFlow, Kubernetes, Kubeflow, and Argo Workflows with real-world scenarios and hands-on projects.
- GitOps and Kubernetes teaches you how to use Git and the GitOps methodology to manage a Kubernetes cluster. The book interleaves theory with practice, presenting core Ops concepts alongside easy-to-implement techniques so you can put GitOps into action. Learn to develop pipelines that trace changes, roll back mistakes, and audit container deployment.
