Deploying a machine learning model involves several key steps to ensure it runs efficiently in production. Here's a concise guide:
1. Prepare the Model
- Export the trained model in a compatible format (e.g.,
.pkl
,.h5
, or.onnx
). - Validate model performance with test data.
👉 Example: Model Preparation
2. Containerization with Docker
- Package the model and dependencies into a Docker container.
- Use
Dockerfile
to define the environment. - 📄 Dockerfile Template
3. Deploy to Cloud Platform
- Choose a cloud provider (e.g., AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Set up a server or use serverless functions.

4. Monitor and Maintain
- Track model performance with tools like Prometheus or ELK Stack.
- Schedule retraining with CI/CD pipelines.
