AIOps Course Overview — What You Will Learn
Six operational pillars define the scope of the program, from model pipelines and inference serving to observability, drift control, and governance.
01
MLOps Foundations
Build reproducible ML pipelines with experiment tracking, model versioning, and CI/CD for model deployments.
▸Experiment tracking with MLflow 2.11+: hyperparameters, metrics, artifacts, and model registry
▸Dataset versioning with DVC 3.0+ — reproducible training runs with lineage tracking
▸CI/CD pipelines for model releases with eval gates and rollback policies
02
LLMOps & Serving
Deploy foundation models with vLLM v0.4+, LangServe, and TGI — optimized for latency, throughput, and cost.
▸High-throughput serving with PagedAttention, continuous batching, and KV-cache sizing
▸Quantization tradeoffs: GPTQ, AWQ, INT4/INT8 — pick the right balance for your workload
▸p95/p99 latency profiling with GPU utilization monitoring and autoscaling
03
AgentOps & Orchestration
Build autonomous agents with LangGraph 0.1+, CrewAI, and Model Context Protocol — secure tool calling and multi-agent workflows.
▸Tool-calling agents with schema validation and allowlisted function execution
▸Model Context Protocol (MCP): connect agents to databases, APIs, and external systems
▸Guardrails: input/output filters, sandboxing, and audit logging for every action
04
Observability & Tracing
Instrument every model call with LangSmith and Langtrace — traces, cost analytics, and drift detection.
▸Token-level tracing: latency, cost-per-request, and error diagnostics per chain step
▸Semantic drift detection: compare outputs across weekly golden-set snapshots
▸Alert rules: latency breach, hallucination spike, budget exceeded → Slack/PagerDuty
05
Drift Detection
Monitor data drift, model drift, and prompt drift across the entire AI pipeline with Evidently and custom detectors.
▸Data drift: statistical tests on input distributions with automated retraining triggers
▸Model drift: accuracy degradation tracking with A/B comparison pipelines
▸Prompt drift: semantic similarity regression with version-controlled prompt configs
06
Security & Cost Control
Enforce guardrails, budget caps, and governance policies across all AI workloads.
▸Prompt injection defense: multi-layer sanitization, model-side filters, output scanning
▸Budget caps per team/model with auto-throttle at threshold and usage dashboards
▸Audit logs: every request traced with user identity, tool calls, and compliance checks
Every pillar ends with a working system — traced, monitored, and deployed. Your capstone wires all six into one production-ready AIOps platform.
