Open source MLOps infrastructure deployment on Public Cloud providers

Open source MLOps: Open source tools for different stages in an MLOps lifecycle.

Public Cloud Providers: Supporting all major cloud providers including AWS, GCP, Azure and Oracle Cloud

mlinfra is the swiss army knife for deploying MLOps tooling anywhere. It aims to make MLOps infrastructure deployment easy and accessible to all ML teams by liberating IaC logic for creating MLOps stacks which is usually tied to other frameworks.

Contribute to the project by opening a issue or joining project roadmap and design related discussion on discord. Complete roadmap will be released soon!

🚀 Installation

Requirements

mlinfra requires the following to run perfectly:

• terraform >= 1.10.2 should be installed on the system.

mlinfra can be installed simply by creating a python virtual environment and installing mlinfra pip package

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install mlinfra

Copy a deployment config from the examples folder, change your AWS account in the config file, configure your AWS credentials and deploy the configuration using

mlinfra terraform apply --config-file <path-to-your-config>

For more information, read the mlinfra user guide

Deployment Config

mlinfra deploys infrastructure using declarative approach. It requires resources to be defined in a yaml file with the following format

name: aws-mlops-stack
provider:
  name: aws
  account-id: xxxxxxxxx
  region: eu-central-1
deployment:
  type: cloud_vm # (this would create ec2 instances and then deploy applications on it)
stack:
  data_versioning:
    - lakefs # can also be pachyderm or lakefs or neptune and so on
  experiment_tracker:
    - mlflow # can be weights and biases or determined, or neptune or clearml and so on...
  orchestrator:
    - zenml # can also be argo, or luigi, or airflow, or dagster, or prefect or flyte or kubeflow or ray and so on...
  model_inference:
    - bentoml # can also be ray or KF serving or seldoncore or tf serving
  monitoring:
    - nannyML # can be grafana or alibi or evidently or neptune or prometheus or weaveworks and so on...
  alerting:
    - mlflow # can be mlflow or neptune or determined or weaveworks or prometheus or grafana and so on...

• For examples, check out the documentation.

• NOTE: This was minimal spec for aws cloud as infra with custom applications. Other stacks such as feature_store, event streamers, loggers or cost dashboards can be added via community requests. For more information, please check out the docs.

Supported Providers

The core purpose is to build for all cloud and deployment platforms out there. Any user should be able to just change the cloud provider or runtime environment (whether it be linux or windows) and have the capability to deploy the same tools.

mlinfra will be supporting the following providers:

Local machine (for development)

• kind
• minikube
• k3s
• docker compose
• k0s (for a more hybrid approach)

Cloud Providers (for deployment and production ready)

• AWS
• GCP
• Azure
• AliBaba
• Openstack
• Oracle Cloud
• Bare metal (such as Hetzner or DigitalOcean)

Supported deployment types

When deploying on managed cloud providers, users can deploy their infrastructure on top of either:

• Virtual Machines such as EC2 on AWS Cloud, Google Virtual machine instances on GCP Cloud and Azure Virtual Machine on Azure Cloud.
• or Kubernetes such as EKS on AWS Cloud, GKE on GCP Cloud and AKS on Azure Cloud.

Supported MLOps Tools

mlinfra intends to support as many MLOps tools deployable in a platform in their standalone as well as high availability across different layers of an MLOps stack:

• data_ingestion
• data_versioning
• data_processing
• vector_database
• experiment_tracker
• orchestrator
• model_inference
• monitoring
• alerting

Development

• This project relies on terraform for IaC code and python to glue it all together.
• To get started, install terraform and python.
• You can install the required python packages by running uv sync
• You can run any of the available examples from the examples/ folder by running the following command in root directory python src/mlinfra/cli/cli.py terraform <action> --config-file examples/<deployment-type>/<file>.yaml where <action> corresponds to terraform actions such as plan, apply and destroy.

For more information, please refer to the Engineering Wiki of the project (https://mlinfra.io/user_guide/) regarding what are the different components of the project and how they work together.

Contributions

• Contributions are welcome! Help us onboard all of the available mlops tools on currently available cloud providers.
• For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change. A team member will get to you soon.
• For information on the general development workflow, see the contribution guide.
