Cloud-Native Model Lifecycle Management for Enterprise AI Systems considers the full lifecycle of AI models at enterprise scale in the context of cloud-native design principles. In cloud-native AI applications, a constellation of services, both stateless and stateful, collaborate to serve large volumes of business transactions. Cloud-native AI continues traditional AI deployment goals but at higher scale, reliability, and performance. Quality Evidence-based Discussion details the architectural considerations for deployment, divides the problem domain into stages, and describes key properties for each stage.
Reciprocal benefits are examined. Cloud-native techniques provide general engineering practice provenance, audit capabilities, and prove essential for maintaining quality and reducing bias and drift. Enterprise-scale AI, in turn, informs cloud-native practice by presenting supporting engineering challenges such as observability, access, and high-volume data. Business stakeholders seek accurate, explainable cloud-native AI solutions applied to factors such as legal compliance or customer churn. Model quality, team productivity, and trust determine business impact and return on investment. Junior AI engineers and developers are empowered by supporting engineering techniques.
