Episode notes
KitOps Origin Story
- Gorkem Ercan's team built an internal tool similar to Model Kits due to challenges in AI/ML model management.
- This tool streamlined their workflow and eventually became the basis for the open-source KitOps project.
Benefits of OCI Registries
- Model Kits leverage existing OCI registries for storage, access control, and auditing.
- This simplifies management and eliminates the need for custom solutions, unlike using large gzipped files.
Standardization and Adoption
- The AI/ML field lacks standardization, making KitOps adoption challenging.
- Regulated industries adopt KitOps more readily due to its provenance and attestation features, crucial for compliance.
