GitHub Actions for MLOps

MLOps using GitHub Actions involves automating the machine learning pipeline, deployment, and testing using GitHub Actions, which helps to improve the efficiency and consistency of machine learning operations.
GitHub Actions for MLOps

GitHub Actions can be used to automate the ML pipeline execution every time a pull request is merged to a specific branch, which helps to ensure that the code is consistent and tested before deployment. This can be achieved by creating a GitHub Actions workflow that triggers the ML pipeline execution on every pull request merge. For example, the following YAML code can be used to create a GitHub Actions workflow:

name: ML Pipeline
on:
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - main
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Run ML pipeline
        run: |
          # Run ML pipeline commands here

This workflow will trigger the ML pipeline execution every time a pull request is merged to the main branch.

Deploying ML Models with GitHub Actions.

GitHub Actions can be used to deploy a Hugging Face Spaces application, which involves creating a GitHub Actions workflow that pushes the model to Hugging Face Spaces. This can be achieved by creating a GitHub Actions workflow that uses the Hugging Face API to push the model to Hugging Face Spaces. For example, the following Python code can be used to push a model to Hugging Face Spaces:

import os
import requests

# Set Hugging Face API token
token = os.environ['HUGGING_FACE_TOKEN']

# Set model name and path
model_name = 'my-model'
model_path = 'path/to/model'

# Push model to Hugging Face Spaces
response = requests.post(
    f'https://huggingface.co/{model_name}/push',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}'},
    data={'model': model_path}
)

if response.status_code == 200:
    print('Model pushed successfully')
else:
    print('Error pushing model')

Using GitHub Container Registry

GitHub Container Registry can push a built container and automate the deployment of ML models. This involves creating a GitHub Actions workflow that builds the container and pushes it to the GitHub Container Registry. For example, the following YAML code can be used to create a GitHub Actions workflow:

name: Build and Push Container
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Build container
        run: |
          # Build container commands here
      - name: Push container to GitHub Container Registry
        uses: docker/login-action@v1
        with:
          username: ${{ github.actor }}
          password: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      - name: Push container
        uses: docker/build-push-action@v2
        with:
          context: .
          push: true
          tags: ${{ github.actor }}/${{ github.event.repository.name }}

I write to remember, and if, in the process, I can help someone learn about Containers, Orchestration (Docker Compose, Kubernetes), GitOps, DevSecOps, VR/AR, Architecture, and Data Management, that is just icing on the cake.
