DevOps and MLOps

DevOps, DevSecOps and MLOps: a clear path from code to production

Shipping should be boring. I set up pipelines, infrastructure and monitoring so a change goes from a commit to production safely, and so models keep improving after launch instead of quietly going stale.

What I set up

  • CI/CD pipelines. Automated builds, checks and deployments. Hexenex ERP deploys on every push to main: GitHub Actions builds the API and web app, uploads an atomic release over SSH, restarts the app server and verifies the login page.
  • Containers. Docker and Docker Compose setups so the app runs the same on every machine.
  • Cloud and hosting. Hosting architecture that matches your stage, from Vercel and managed platforms to servers you control, with networking and cost in mind.
  • MLOps. The model lifecycle around the code. SecureOps connects packet collection, detection, reinforcement-learning security decisions and Azure ML training to a threshold-based retraining and redeployment cycle, with monitoring that closes the loop.
  • Security in the pipeline. Secrets kept out of code, least-privilege deploy targets and checks before anything reaches production.

DevOps vs MLOps

DevOps ships code. MLOps ships code plus data plus models, which means versioning datasets, tracking model performance and deciding when to retrain. I explain the difference in DevOps vs MLOps.

What you get

  • A pipeline that builds, tests and deploys on every merge, with a way to roll back.
  • Environments and secrets managed outside the code, with deploy targets locked to where the app belongs.
  • Containers where they help, so the app runs the same everywhere.
  • For machine learning projects: versioned data, a model registry, monitoring and a written retraining rule.
  • A short runbook: how to deploy, roll back and respond when something breaks.

Questions

Can you set up CI/CD for an existing project?

Yes. Most pipelines are added to running projects: build, test, deploy and verify, with rollbacks for when something goes wrong.

What does MLOps add to a machine learning project?

Reproducible training, model versioning, monitoring and clear rules for retraining and redeploying, so the model stays accurate after launch.

Do you work with shared hosting as well as cloud?

Yes. Hexenex ERP, for example, deploys to shared hosting through an SSH pipeline with atomic releases.
