Operationalize machine learning and generative AI solutions
This course prepares learners to design, implement, and operate Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) and Generative AI Operations (GenAIOps) solutions on Azure. It covers building secure and scalable AI infrastructure, managing the full lifecycle of traditional machine learning models with Azure Machine Learning, and deploying, evaluating, monitoring, and optimizing generative AI applications and agents using Microsoft Foundry. Learners will gain hands-on knowledge of automation, continuous integration and delivery, infrastructure as code, and observability by using tools such as GitHub Actions, Azure CLI, and Bicep. The course emphasizes collaboration with data science and DevOps teams to deliver reliable, production-ready AI systems aligned with modern MLOps and GenAIOps best practices.
