Problem Solved
Data science teams deploy models via ad-hoc manual scripts, creating unmaintainable technical debt, untracked model versions, and fragile production services that break without warning.
When to Use
- •Establishing an enterprise-wide MLOps platform supporting dozens of data science teams
- •Automating Continuous Training (CT) and Continuous Delivery for Machine Learning (CD4ML)
- •Deploying unified model registries with cryptographic signing and automated CI/CD evaluation gates
When NOT to Use
- •For general software CI/CD compilation and unit testing without ML models (use TPL-DEL-002)
- •For basic relational database storage strategy (use TPL-ARC-011)

Frequently Asked Questions
What distinguishes Google MLOps Maturity Level 2 from lower levels?
Level 0 is completely manual (notebook-driven). Level 1 introduces automated pipeline execution for model training. Level 2 represents full CI/CD and Continuous Training (CT) automation: code changes trigger automated testing and pipeline deployment, while data distribution shifts or schedules trigger automated model retraining, validation, and canary promotion with zero human intervention.
Why should enterprise AI platforms deploy Triton Inference Server rather than basic Flask/FastAPI wrappers?
Basic Python API frameworks suffer from Python's Global Interpreter Lock (GIL), high memory overhead, and lack of GPU dynamic batching. Triton is a C++ inference engine supporting multiple frameworks (ONNX, TensorRT, PyTorch) simultaneously, executing dynamic batching, concurrent model execution, and hardware-accelerated memory sharing at sub-millisecond latencies.
How does cryptographic model signing guarantee production AI integrity?
Similar to container signing with Sigstore/Cosign, cryptographic model signing creates a hash digest of the trained weights file signed by the automated CI pipeline's private key. In-cluster admission controllers verify this signature before loading weights, preventing malicious tampering, unauthorized backdoor insertion, or untested model deployments.
