Building on-Premises MLOps for ISS Columbus Ground Operations

Explore the development of a custom on-premises MLOps platform for supporting International Space Station (ISS) Columbus module operations in this conference talk. Learn how AI engineers and data scientists transformed into cloud engineers to create an integrated system using GitLab, microk8s, and Kubeflow for anomaly detection, root cause analysis, and reconfiguration suggestion algorithms. Discover the challenges and solutions in bootstrapping and automating platform deployment, supporting multiple Linux distributions, managing storage, exposing Kubernetes services, implementing IAM, and handling TLS issues. Gain insights into building a regulatory-compliant MLOps infrastructure for processing sensitive ISS sensor data streams that cannot be stored in public clouds.
