This is where it all comes together. CI/CD lets dev teams ship code automatically — but only if your pipeline is built to handle the cloud. In this episode, I show you how local testing + automated deployment = cloud apps that ship faster, safer, and smarter. Stick around to the end, this is the final episode of WTH is the Cloud?!
The challenge with Machine Learning (ML) models is productionizing. It requires data ingestion, data preparation, model training, model deployment, and monitoring. Adopting MLOps practices is similar to DevOps practices. In MLOps, the workload changes, but some core principles like automation, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), and monitoring. Taking DevOps practices, I will discuss the similarities and differences in adopting MLOps practices. In this talk, Chinmay takes a production use case to scale ML models to 2 million+ daily requests. It leverages Google Cloud's (GCP) infrastructure to use its GPU and other services. This talk will help you draw similarities between DevOps and MLOps as a DevOps practitioner and help you learn how to run Machine Learning models at the production scale with best practices.
Testing AWS CI/CD pipelines in the cloud can be slow, error-prone, and hard to debug, especially when you're wrestling with IAM permissions or waiting on long feedback cycles. This session walks through how you can now emulate complete DevOps workflows locally using LocalStack. We cover recent additions to LocalStack that support new service providers such as CodeBuild for running build processes across different runtimes directly on your machine, CodeDeploy for emulating deployment steps without touching the real infrastructure, and CodePipeline for creating and testing CI pipelines, transitions, and triggers locally. Through a live demo, we’ll walk through a working example of a CI/CD pipeline — building a Rust project, deploying it, and running the pipeline stages — all without leaving your laptop. This session is useful for developers building or debugging AWS-native CI/CD workflows and looking for faster, more controlled ways to test them.
