What is the Production-Grade MLOps Foundations course about?
As machine learning becomes embedded in core operations, compliance officers face increasing pressure to validate models they didn’t build, audit systems they didn’t design, and govern pipelines they can’t trace. Traditional checklists fall short when models evolve daily. Without a structured MLOps foundation, teams risk compliance gaps, audit delays, and operational friction, despite technical success.
