Guillaume GAUTIER - OLEA MEDICAL
Course - MLflow
I enjoyed participating in the Kubeflow training, which was held remotely. This training allowed me to consolidate my knowledge for AWS services, K8s, all the devOps tools around Kubeflow which are the necessary bases to properly tackle the subject. I wanted to thank Malawski Marcin for his patience and professionalism for training and advice on best practices. Malawski approaches the subject from different angles, different deployment tools Ansible, EKS kubectl, Terraform. Now I am definitely convinced that I am going into the right field of application.
