Overview

Generate a comprehensive MLOps Strategy document that defines how ML/AI models will be developed, deployed, monitored, and governed throughout their lifecycle. Ensures AI systems are reliable, reproducible, and compliant with governance requirements.

When to Use

Use /arckit.mlops when your project includes:
  • Machine Learning models (classification, regression, NLP, computer vision)
  • Large Language Models (LLMs) or Generative AI
  • Algorithmic decision-making systems
  • AI-assisted automation
Run after:
  1. /arckit.requirements - understand ML use cases
  2. /arckit.data-model - understand training data
  3. /arckit.ai-playbook - governance context (UK Gov)

Usage

/arckit.mlops SageMaker for fraud detection model
/arckit.mlops Vertex AI GenAI chatbot with LLM fine-tuning
/arckit.mlops Azure ML classification pipeline

What It Creates

File: projects/{project}/ARC-{PID}-MLOP-v1.0.md Sections:
  1. ML Use Cases - Model purpose, inputs, outputs, performance targets
  2. Model Lifecycle - Training, validation, deployment, monitoring, retirement
  3. MLOps Maturity - Level 0-4 assessment and target state
  4. Training Pipeline - Data prep, feature engineering, training, evaluation
  5. Serving Infrastructure - Batch vs real-time, scaling, latency SLAs
  6. Feature Store - Feature engineering, storage, serving
  7. Model Monitoring - Drift detection, performance degradation, fairness
  8. Model Registry - Versioning, lineage, metadata
  9. Responsible AI - Bias testing, explainability, human oversight
  10. Governance - UK AI Playbook, ATRS, MOD JSP 936 (if applicable)
  11. Cost Management - Training costs, inference costs, optimization
