7.7 Model deployment

The deployment of a ML algorithm can be simple but might also be an elaborated effort. In the example here the deployment costs are effort is considerable because software which runs on a satellite has to fulfill special requirements.

Deployment might happen in different stages, it might be deployed only for certain regions a certain kinds of customers. There might be the need for a feedback mechanism to improve the algorithm over time. Also the implementation might be such that it is easily scalable in case the use of the model increases potentially within a short time.

Estimate deployment cost:

• Deployment might happen in different stages
  • regional
  • certain groups of customer
• Might need feedback mechanism
  • to improve algorithm
  • to report issues
    • fault
    • bias
    • unwanted behavior
• Scalability
  • in case of demand increase
  • increase might be sudden
