One of the main reasons teams struggle to build and maintain their MLOps pipelines are vendor specific packaging. As a model is handed off between data science teams, app development teams, and SRE/DevOps teams, the teams are required to repackage the model to work with their unique toolset. This is tedious, and stands in contrast to well adopted development processes where teams have standardized on the use of containers to ensure that project definitions, dependencies, and artifacts are shared in a consistent format. KitOps is a robust and flexible tool that addresses these exact shortcomings in the MLOps pipeline. It packages the entire ML project in an OCI-compliant artifact called a ModelKit. It is uniquely designed with flexible development attributes to accommodate ML workflows. They present more convenient processes for ML development than DevOps pipelines. Some of these benefits include:

Internally, Google used a platform called Borg which is still used by Google to this day. It also served as the basis for Kubernetes. Borg is a container-based platform whose goal was to allow developers to focus on code, not infrastructure. Google has an entire infrastructure team to manage the datacenters. This system came out circa 2004. This predates the advent of modern OCI Containers by about a decade.

Back in 2013, a little company called Docker made it really easy to start using containers to package up applications. A big key to their success was the OCI (you can learn about that here), an industry wide initiative to have standards around how we package up our applications. Because of OCI standards, we have hundreds (maybe thousands?) of tools that can be combined to manage and deploy applications. So why aren’t we using this for packaging up Notebooks and AI models as well? It would make deploying, sharing, and managing our models easier for everyone involved.

Kubernetes on the backend used to utilize docker for much of its container runtime solutions. One of the modular features of Kubernetes is the ability to utilize a Container Runtime Interface or CRI. The problem was that Docker didn't really meet the spec properly and they had to maintain a shim to translate properly. Instead users could utilize the popular containerd or cri-o runtimes. These follow the Open Container Initiative or OCI's guidelines on container formats.

OCI stands for Open Container Initiative, and its goal as an organization is to define a specification for container formats and runtime.

Here is Containerfile from the repo: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/blob/main/Containerfile

apko allows us to build OCI container images from .apk packages.

Flagger's load testing service can be installed via a Kustomization resource based on manifests packaged as an artifact in an Open Container Initiative (OCI) registry

If there's a workaround, it's ok. Users usually post workarounds in the thread.

I first heard of Solarpunk from the Imaginary Worlds podcast:

Which I prompted me to post the Wikipedia link 4 years ago, several others posted similar links prior to that, and others have posted interesting links hear too:

I will deeply deeply having someone so well connected to such incredibly complex contemporary digital rights issues in a place of power. Patrick Breyer's work in advocating & sharing what's going on has been such an incredibly high form of service, has illuminated such a dark & scary part of governance, and it's hard to imagine who else in the world is going to step up & be the light in Patrick's absence.

Patrick, thank you for the many years of incredible service. Your writing online about what's happening is without peer. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=patrick%20breyer&sort=byDate

Anything this common becomes noise, since it doesn't add any new information.

Heres' another way to look at it: since the idea of HN is to be intellectually interesting (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...), repetition is the most important thing to avoid (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).

At least as far as Hacker News is concerned, I'd call htmx way more marketed. It has hundreds of HN submissions in the past year alone [0] including one that broke 1000 points, compared to Hotwire which is sitting at about 40 submissions in the past year [1], the most popular of which is this one.
