Jordan Edwards: ML Engineering and DevOps on AzureML

This week we had a super insightful conversation with Jordan Edwards, Principal Program Manager for the AzureML team! Jordan is on the coalface of turning machine learning software engineering into a reality for some of Microsoft's largest customers.

ML DevOps is all about increasing the velocity of- and orchastrating the non-interactive phase of- software deployments for ML. We cover ML DevOps and Microsoft Azure ML. We discuss model governance, testing, intepretability, tooling. We cover the age-old discussion of the dichotomy between science and engineering and how you can bridge the gap with ML DevOps. We cover Jordan's maturity model for ML DevOps.

We also cover off some of the exciting ML announcments from the recent Microsoft Build conference i.e. FairLearn, IntepretML, SEAL, WhiteNoise, OpenAI code generation, OpenAI GPT-3.
