Kubeflow. (From the website:) The Machine Learning Toolkit for Kubernetes. The Kubeflow project is dedicated to making deployments of machine learning (ML) workflows on Kubernetes simple, portable and scalable. Our goal is not to recreate other services, but to provide a straightforward way to deploy best-of-breed open-source systems for ML to diverse infrastructures. Anywhere you are running Kubernetes, you should be able to run Kubeflow.

TensorFlow Extended (TFX). If using TensorFlow with Kubeflow, combine with TFX for maximum power. (From the website:) TensorFlow Extended (TFX) is an end-to-end platform for deploying production ML pipelines. When you're ready to move your models from research to production, use TFX to create and manage a production pipeline.

Dept uses Descript for some of their podcasting. I'm using it like a maniac, I think they're surprised at how into it I am. Check out the transcript & see how it performed.

• Descript
• The Ship It Podcast How to ship software, from the front lines. We talk with software developers about their craft, developer tools, developer productivity and what makes software development awesome. Hosted by your friends at Rocket Insights. AKA shipit.io

Consider developing against AWS as your local development environment, rather than only your cloud deployment environment. Solutions:

1. Stick to AWS Cloud IDEs (Lambda, SageMaker Studio, Cloud9

2. Connect to deployed infrastructure via Client VPN

   • Terraform example
   • YouTube tutorial
   • Creating the keys
3. LocalStack

Infrastructure as Code

• Terraform
• CDK
• Serverless
