 The overall aim is to build and create a MLOps architecture based on Airflow running on AWS EKS. Ideally, this architecture is create using terraform. Model tracking might be done using MLFlow, Data tracking using DVC. Further mentioned might be best practices in software development, CI/CD, Docker, and pipelines. I might also include a small Data Science use case utilizing the Airflow Cluster we built.
 
-The book contains two sections with distinct focuses. The first section comprises Chapters 3 to 6, which consist of tutorials on the specific tools aforementioned. These chapters also serve as prerequisites for the subsequent sections. Among these tutorials, the chapters dedicated to *Airflow* and *MLflow* are oriented towards Data Scientists, providing insights into their usage. The chapters centered around *Kubernetes* and *Terraform* target Data- and MLOps Engineers, offering detailed guidance on deploying and managing these tools.

While these chapters cover the essential tools introduced in the previous section, they may not explore certain intricate aspects used like OAuth authentication and networking details in great depth. Moreover, it is crucial to note that the ML Platform example presented is not intended for production deployment, as there should be significant security concerns considered. Instead, its main purpose is to serve as an informative illustration of ML platforms and MLOps engineering principles.

 **1. Data Preparation**
 In the first stage, data used to train a machine learning model is collected, cleaned, and preprocessed. Preprocessing includes tasks to remove missing or duplicate data, normalize data, and split data into a training and testing set.
+
 **2. Model Building** 
 In the second stage, a machine learning model is selected and trained using the prepared data. This includes tasks such as selecting an appropriate algorithm as a machine learning model, training the model, and tuning the model's parameters to improve its performance.
+
 **3. Model Evaluation**
 Afterward, the performance of the trained model is evaluated using the test data set. This includes tasks such as measuring the accuracy and other performance metrics, comparing the performance of different models, and identifying potential issues with the model.
+
 **4. Model Deployment** 
 Finally, the selected and optimized model is deployed to a production environment where it can be used to make predictions on new data. This stage includes tasks like scaling the model to handle large amounts of data, and deploying the model to different environments to be used in different contexts

 **5. Model Monitoring and Maintenance**
 It is important to monitor the model performance and update the model as needed, once the model is deployed. This includes tasks such as collecting feedback from the model, monitoring the model's performance metrics, and updating the model as necessary.

 Model Serving refers to the process of deploying a machine learning model in a production environment, so it can be used to make predictions on new data. This includes tasks such as scaling the model to handle large amounts of data, deploying the model to different environments, and monitoring the performance of the deployed model. Model serving tools are specifically used at the deployment stage of the machine learning workflow and can handle the necessary tasks mentioned beforehand.

 It's important to note that the specific tools used in MLOps and DevOps may vary depending on the organization's needs. Some of the tools are used in both but applied differently in each, e.g. container orchestration tools like Kubernetes. The above lists do also not claim to be complete and there are of course multiple more tools.
