Building an on-premise MLops platform for International Space Station data with a small team is challenging but possible with automation and open-source components.
- Automate as much as possible, especially for small teams
- Ask for help and give back to the community
- Experiment but also learn the basics
- Building an on-premise MLops platform for International Space Station data is challenging but possible with commitment
- Key pillars of the platform are Kubernetes, GitLab, and Kubeflow
- MicroK8s was chosen as the Kubernetes distribution for its ease of deployment and add-ons
- Kubeflow is a complete data science workbench that is Kubernetes native and actively developed
- Automation is necessary for managing the platform
- Telemetry data from the Columbus module of the International Space Station is used for anomaly detection, diagnostics, and configuration
- Microgravity introduces unique challenges for monitoring and ventilation
