Did you know that over 50% of machine learning failures in production come from unmanaged data drift, unsafe rollouts, or unmonitored retraining pipelines? Automating your ML lifecycle is the key to keeping models both powerful and trustworthy.
This short course was created to help ML and AI professionals operationalize machine learning systems with robust performance monitoring, governance compliance, and automated lifecycle management in production environments.
By completing this course, you will be able to automate, validate, and safely promote machine learning models using CI/CD pipelines, compliance checks, and drift-triggered retraining—skills you can apply immediately to improve reliability and control in your ML operations.
By the end of this 4-hour long course, you will be able to:
• Analyze pipeline logs to identify performance bottlenecks.
• Evaluate CI/CD policies for responsible AI compliance and rollback safety.
• Create an automated pipeline for model retraining and promotion triggered by data drift.
This course is unique because it unites MLOps automation, ethical AI governance, and continuous delivery—helping you build intelligent pipelines that retrain and adapt responsibly without sacrificing speed or safety.
To be successful in this project, you should have:
• ML fundamentals and Python proficiency
• Basic CI/CD pipeline knowledge
• Familiarity with data versioning
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
Learners will master systematic diagnosis of ML pipeline performance issues through methodical log analysis and targeted investigation of pipeline stages.

"When I need courses on topics that my university doesn't offer, Coursera is one of the best places to go."
Chaitanya A.
"Learning isn't just about being better at your job: it's so much more than that. Coursera allows me to learn without limits."
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
