Model Deployment
In this module, we will be talking about the model deployment techniques
and techniques around making your model scalable, robust and reproducible.

Topics Covered • Packaging Models • Rest APIs, Dockers

• ML Pipeline and Model scalability
Why are Some Modules Self-paced?
The self-paced modules cater to skills that are complementary to those learnt in
guided modules. Since all learners do not need to/may not want to learn them,
they have been kept as part of self-paced modules.

All these modules have similar high-quality recorded video lectures by UT

Austin faculty, global academicians, and industry experts but do not have men-
torship sessions. You can learn them at your own pace and schedule, based on
your interests and the current and future demands of your role.

For all academic and non-academic questions in these modules, your Program
Manager will be there to assist you.
