DevOps vs. DataOps vs. MLOps Vs. AIOps: Comparison of all "Ops"

The acronym "Ops" has rapidly increased in IT operations in recent years. Explore different "Ops" in this explanation of DevOps, DataOps, MLOps, and AIOps.

The acronym "Ops" has rapidly increased in IT operations in recent years. IT operations are turning towards the automation process to improve customer delivery. Traditional application development uses DevOps implementation for Continued Integration (CI) and Continued Deployment (CD). The exact delivery and deployment process may not be suitable for data-intensive Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. 

This article will define different "Ops" and explain their work for the following: DevOps, DataOps, MLOps, and AIOps.

DevOps

This practice automates the collaboration between Development (Dev) and Operations (Ops). The main goal is to deliver the software product more rapidly and reliably and continue delivery with software quality. DevOps complements the agile software development process/agile way of working.

DataOps 

DataOps is a practice or technology that combines integrated and process-oriented data with automation to improve data quality, collaboration, and analytics. It mainly deals with the cooperation between data scientists, data engineers, and other data professionals.

MLOps

MLOps is a practice or technology that develops and deploys machine learning models reliably and efficiently. MLOps is the set of practices at the intersection of DevOps, ML, and Data Engineering.

AIOps

AIOps is the process of capabilities to automate and streamline operations workflows for natural language processing and machine learning models. Machine Learning and Big Data are major aspects of AIOps because AI needs data from different systems and processes using ML models. AI is driven by machine learning models to create, deploy, train, and analyze the data to get accurate results. 

 As per the IBM Developer, below are the typical “Ops” work together:

Summary

In summary, managing a system from a single project team is at the end of its life due to business processes becoming more complex and IT systems changing dynamically with new technologies. The detailed implementation involves a combination of collaborative practices, automation, monitoring, and a focus on continuous improvement as part of DevOps, DataOps, MLOps, and AIOps processes. DevOps focuses primarily on IT processes and software development, and the DataOps and MLOps approaches focus on improving IT and business collaborations as well as overall data use in organizations. DataOps workflows leverage DevOps principles to manage the data workflows. MLOps also leverages the DevOps principles to manage applications built-in machine learning.
