MLOps for batch inference with model monitoring and retraining using Amazon SageMaker, HashiCorp Terraform, and GitLab CI/CD
Blog
This article presents a comprehensive MLOps workflow for batch inference using Amazon SageMaker, EventBridge, Lambda, Terraform, and GitLab CI/CD.
- Automates model training, monitoring, retraining, and registration with error handling
- Multi-account strategy: model development in central account, inference in staging/production
- Training pipeline runs on schedule or S3 trigger, registers models exceeding performance thresholds
- Batch inference pipeline automatically uses latest approved model from registry
- Data quality checks via SageMaker Model Monitor; model quality via custom processing steps
- Training with HPO triggered when model quality check fails or manually by data scientist
- Manual approval required for HPO-trained models; automatic for recalibrated models
- Infrastructure as Code using Terraform for reproducible, version-controlled deployments
- Sample code provided uses single account, single GitLab pipeline, S3 event triggers
- Three SageMaker pipelines: training, batch inference, training with HPO
This solution reduces operational complexity and costs by automating ML lifecycle management, monitoring, and infrastructure provisioning for production batch inference workloads.
