What is the Risk-Managed ML Infrastructure Cost course about?
Teams launching machine learning at scale across multiple locations often face unpredictable cloud bills, duplicated models, and compliance gaps. Without a structured approach, cost containment becomes reactive rather than strategic, leading to wasted budget and delayed rollouts.
