ML模型生命週期發展每個階段的基本活動之一是協作。從ML模型的概念到部署，需要建構模型所涉及的不同角色之間的參與與互動。此外，ML模型開發的本質涉及實驗、工件（artifacts）和指標的追蹤、模型版本管理等，所有這些都需要透過有效的組織來正確維護ML模型生命週期。
幸運的是，目前已經出現類似MLflow這樣的開發和維護模型生命週期的工具。在本文中，我們將詳細剖析MLflow，包括其主要組件及特性等內容的分析。此外，我們還將提供範例來說明MLflow在實務上是如何運作的。
MLflow是一個開源工具，用於在ML模型生命週期的每個階段進行開發、維護和協作。此外，MLflow是一個與框架無關的工具；因此，任何ML/DL（機器學習/深度學習）框架都可以快速適應MLflow所提出的生態系統。
MLflow是作為一個平台的形式出現的，其中提供了追蹤指標、工件和元資料等的一系列工具。此外，它還提供了打包、分發以及部署模型和項目等的標準格式支援。
MLflow也提供了管理模型版本的工具。這些工具分別封裝在下面四個主要元件中：
MLflow追蹤是一種基於API的工具，用於記錄指標、參數、模型版本、程式碼版本和文件。 MLflow追蹤與一個UI整合在一起，用於視覺化和管理工件、模型、檔案等。
其中，每個MLflow追蹤會話都是在運行（run）的概念下組織和管理的。運行是指程式碼的執行；其中，工件日誌部分是被明確執行的。
MLflow追蹤可讓您透過MLflow提供的Python、R、Java等語言以及REST形式的API等方式來產生運行。預設情況下，運行是儲存在執行程式碼會話的目錄中。然而，MLflow也允許在本地或遠端伺服器上儲存工件。
MLflow模型允許將機器學習模型打包成標準格式，以便透過REST API、Microsoft Azure ML、Amazon SageMaker或Apache Spark等不同服務直接使用。 MLflow模型協定的優點之一是包裝是多語言或多風味（flavor）支持的。
［譯者註］MLflow中經常遇到「flavor」一詞，其主要是指對於多種語言、多種類型組件及庫的廣泛支持，透過下面展示的配置文件容易看出這一點。在此，本文統一直接翻譯為「風味」。
在打包方面，MLflow產生一個包含兩個檔案的目錄，一個是模型，另一個是指定模型打包和載入細節的檔案。例如，下面的程式碼片段顯示了MLmodel檔案的內容，其中指定了風味載入器（flavor loader）以及定義環境的「conda.yaml」檔案。

MLflow專案提供了打包、共用和重複使用機器學習專案的標準格式。每個項目可以是遠端儲存庫或本機目錄。與MLflow模型不同，MLflow專案旨在實現機器學習專案的可移植性和分佈性。
MLflow專案由名為「MLProject」的一個YAML宣告檔來定義，其中公開了對應專案的一系列規範內容。
模型實作的關鍵特徵在MLProject檔案中指定，這些特徵包括：
下面的程式碼片段顯示了一個MLProject檔案的範例，其中要實現的模型是一棵決策樹形式，其唯一的參數對應樹的深度，預設值為2。

在這兩個範例中，環境是基於MLProject檔案規格所產生的。觸發模型的命令將在命令列上傳遞的參數下執行。由於模型允許輸入參數，因此這些參數可以透過`-P'標誌指定。在這兩個範例中，模型參數都是指決策樹的最大深度。
預設情況下，如範例中所示的運行將把工件儲存在一個名字為「.mlruns」的目錄。
實現MLflow時最常見的用例之一是使用MLflow伺服器記錄指標和工件。 MLflow伺服器負責管理MLflow客戶端產生的工件和檔案。這些工件可以儲存在從檔案目錄到遠端資料庫等不同儲存形式的方案中。例如，要在本機上運行MLflow伺服器，我們可以鍵入以下命令：
<span style="color: rgb(89, 89, 89); margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background: none 0% 0% / auto repeat scroll padding-box border-box rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">$</span> <span style="color: rgb(89, 89, 89); margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background: none 0% 0% / auto repeat scroll padding-box border-box rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">mlflow</span> <span style="color: rgb(89, 89, 89); margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background: none 0% 0% / auto repeat scroll padding-box border-box rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">server</span>
上述命令将通过IP地址http://127.0.0.1:5000/启动MLflow服务。为了存储工件和指标，在客户端会话中定义服务器的跟踪URI。
在下面的代码片段中，我们将看到MLflow服务器中工件存储的基本实现：

其中，命令“MLflow.set_tracking_uri()”负责设置服务器的位置。
在没有身份验证的情况下暴露服务器可能会有风险。因此，添加身份验证非常必要，当然也非常方便。身份验证将取决于您将在其中部署服务器的生态系统：
为了说明这些，让我们看一个使用基本身份验证（用户名和密码）部署的MLflow服务器的示例。此外，我们还将看到如何通过配置客户端方式来使用此服务器。
在本例中，我们通过Nginx反向代理将基本用户和密码身份验证应用于MLflow服务器。
让我们从Nginx的安装开始，我们可以通过以下方式完成：

对于Windows操作系统，您必须使用本机Win32 API。您可以按照链接（https://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html）处的详细说明进行这些操作，在此省略有关介绍。
安装结束后，我们将继续使用“htpasswd”命令生成具有相应密码的用户，如下所示：

上述命令为nginx服务的“.htpasswd”文件中指定的名字为“mlflow-user”的用户生成凭据。稍后，要在创建的用户凭据下定义代理，请使用配置文件“/usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf”进行定义，默认情况下具有以下内容：

尝试在浏览器中访问http://localhost时，需要通过创建的用户名和密码请求身份验证。

输入凭据后，您将被导航到MLflow服务器用户界面中，如图2所示。

要从客户端将数据存储在MLflow服务器中，您必须：
对于凭证，我们将导出以下环境变量：

当执行上面的代码片段时，我们可以看到测试指标和参数反映在服务器上。

开发机器学习模型时的一个日常需求是维护模型版本中的顺序。为此，MLflow提供了MLflow注册表。
MLflow注册表是一个扩展，有助于：
注册模型有四种选择：
在以下示例中，使用“MLflow.

如果是新模型，MLFlow将其初始化为版本1。如果模型已进行版本控制，则将其初始化成版本2（或后续版本）。
默认情况下，注册模型时，分配的状态为“无”。要将状态分配给已注册模型，我们可以通过以下方式执行：

在上面的代码片段中，决策树模型的版本2被分配给模拟环境(staging)。在服务器UI中，我们可以看到如图4所示的状态：

为了实现模型服务，我们可以使用MLflowCLI。为此，我们只需要服务器URI、模型名称和模型状态这些信息即可，如下所示：

需要指出的是，MLFlow允许定义数据结构，以便通过实现签名在“MLmodel”文件中进行推断。同样，通过请求传递的数据可以是不同类型的，可以在链接（https://www.mlflow.org/docs/latest/_modules/mlflow/models/signature.html）处查阅。
前面示例的完整实现可以在下面的链接处找到：

由于MLflow的框架不可知性，导致了MLflow插件的出现。该插件的主要功能是以自适应方式将MLflow的功能扩展到不同的框架。
MLflow插件允许为特定平台定制和调整工件的部署和存储。
例如，下面这些是用于平台特定部署的插件：
另一方面，为了管理MLflow项目，我们还提供了MLflow-yarn，这是一个在Hadoop/Yarn支持下管理MLProject的插件。对于MLflow跟踪的定制，我们有MLflow-elasticsearchstore，它允许在Elasticsearch环境下管理MLflow追踪扩展。
同样，也提供了特定的插件以支持部署到AWS和Azure等平台，它们是：
必须提到的是，MLflow提供了根据需要创建和定制插件的能力。
由于对开发和维护机器学习模型生命周期的工具的需求不断增加，出现了不同的管理方案，例如MLflow和KubeFlow等。
正如我们在本文中已经看到的，MLflow是一种工具，它允许在开发机器学习模型的生命周期中进行协作，主要关注跟踪工件（MLflow跟踪）、协作、维护和项目版本控制。
另一方面，还有一个类似的工具是Kubeflow，它与MLflow一样，是一种开发具有特定差异的机器学习模型的工具。
Kubeflow是一个在Kubernetes集群上工作的平台；也就是说，Kubeflow利用了Kubernetes的集装箱化特性。此外，Kubeflow还提供了Kubeflow管道线等工具，旨在通过SDK扩展生成和自动化管道（DAGs）。
此外，Kubeflow还提供Katib，这是一种大规模优化超参数的工具，并提供Jupyter笔记本的管理和协作服务。
具体而言，MLflow是一个专注于机器学习项目开发的管理和协作工具。另一方面，Kubeflow是一个专注于通过Kubernetes集群和使用容器开发、训练和部署模型的平台。
这两个平台都具有各自显著的优势，都是开发、维护和部署机器学习模型的可选择方案。然而，在开发团队中使用、实现和集成这些技术时，必须考虑相应的技术壁垒。
由于Kubeflow需要连接到Kubernetes集群才能达到实现和集成目的，因此建议由一名专家来管理该技术。同样，开发和配置管道自动化也是一项挑战，需要学习曲线，在特定情况下可能对公司不利。
总之，MLflow和Kubeflow都是专注于机器学习模型生命周期特定阶段的平台。MLflow是一种面向协作的工具，而Kubeflow更倾向于利用Kubernetes集群来生成机器学习任务。然而，Kubeflow需要MLOps部分的经验。您需要了解Kubernetes中的服务部署，这可能是尝试接近Kubeflow时需要考虑的问题。
