Containerizing with Docker
In MLOps, Docker plays a crucial role by allowing you to package your application, its dependencies, and even your trained machine learning models into a single, portable container image. This image can be run on any machine that supports Docker, ensuring the environment remains consistent from your local development laptop to a production server or cloud environment. By eliminating "works on my machine" problems, Docker helps you deliver reliable, reproducible deployments for your FastAPI-based model services.
Containerization with Docker makes it much easier to scale your machine learning services horizontally and deploy them in cloud or on-premise infrastructure. You can spin up multiple identical containers to handle increased load, or quickly move your service between different environments without worrying about dependency conflicts.
