Day 5 - Week 10 Review: ML Implementation & Operations 1 — Deployment & Inference

This week covered "how to release trained models to production." Inference option selection (Day 1), real-time endpoint operations (Day 2), inference optimization (Day 3), deployment strategies (Day 4) look separate but form one decision flow: which inference mode → which endpoint config → how to optimize → how to deploy safely. Today we compress this flow into one page and organize keywords that split answers on the exam.

Week 10 Decision Flow at a Glance

The rest is Pro only

Week 1 is free for everyone. Week 2 onwards — plus mock exams and unlimited review — is included in the Pro plan.
