What Is a Workspace?
A Workspace is a comprehensive virtual environment designed for managing the entire lifecycle of machine learning operations (MLOps) projects. In a single, secure setting, it offers tools for isolation, resource allocation, model deployment, and more.
Core Capabilities
1. Isolation and Security
- Secure Boundaries – Each project operates in its own environment, preventing conflicts and safeguarding sensitive data.
- Access Control – Manage user permissions within a workspace using Workspace Access. For broader governance, see User Governance.
2. Resource Allocation
- Computational Resources – Distribute CPU, GPU, and memory to different projects within the workspace.
- Administrative Control – Tenant admins can manage and monitor resource distribution.
- Learn More – See Resource Allocation Documentation for details.
3. Usage Monitoring
- Resource Utilization Tracking – Monitor CPU, GPU, and memory usage across experiments.
- Optimization Insights – Identify bottlenecks and optimize overall resource allocation.
4. Model Management and Deployment
- End-to-End Lifecycle – Oversee the development, validation, and production deployment of ML models.
- Performance Monitoring – Keep tabs on model performance and quickly roll out updates.
5. Job Management
- Efficient Workflows – Jobs are responsible for model training, and most importantly distribute training accross several nodes.
- Timely Delivery – Automate tasks to ensure on-time completion of key deliverables.
6. Experiment Tracking
- Version Control – Log and track results from various experiments.
- Comparisons – Compare performance metrics across different models or code versions.
7. Dataset Management
- Data Integrity – Store, access, and version datasets consistently.
- Collaboration – Share and maintain datasets across projects without duplication.
Next Steps
