MLflow Model Registry is a collaborative hub where teams can share ML models, work together from experimentation to online testing and production, integrate with approval and governance workflows, and monitor ML deployments and their performance.
Benefits
ONE COLLABORATIVE HUB
Facilitate the sharing of expertise and knowledge about building and deploying machine learning models by making models more discoverable, and providing collaborative features to jointly improve on common ML tasks.
FLEXIBLE CI/CD PIPELINES
Stay in control of machine learning models by either automatically transitioning a model into production based on predefined conditions, or manually controlling and validating lifecycle stage changes for your models from the experimentation phase to testing and production.
VISIBILITY AND GOVERNANCE
Large enterprises often have thousands of ML models in the experimentation, testing, and production phases at any point in time. The MLflow Model Registry provides full visibility and enables governance of each by keeping track of model history and managing who can approve changes.
Features
Central Repository: Register MLflow models with the MLflow Model Registry. A registered model has a unique name, version, stage, and other metadata.
Model Versioning: Automatically keep track of versions for registered models when updated.
Model Stage: Assigned preset or custom stages to each model version, like “Staging” and “Production” to represent the lifecycle of a model.
Model Stage Transitions: Record new registration events or changes as activities that automatically log users, changes, and additional metadata such as comments.
CI/CD Workflow Integration: Record stage transitions, request, review and approve changes as part of CI/CD pipelines for better control and governance.
Model Serving: Quickly serve machine learning models as RESTful APIs for online testing, dashboard updates, etc. on Databricks
