Airflow 2.0 for ML pipelines – design, implementation and management
10-21, 14:00–15:30 (Europe/Stockholm), Workshops

Live Stream: https://youtu.be/qWvJSIgOcPU

With a lot of changes under the hood with Airflow 2.0, the workshop aims to give an overview on major updates in Airflow 2.0 from 1.0, major components and working of Airflow and hands-on demo of implementation and management of an end-to-end Machine Learning pipeline. Without a pipeline in-place, management of multiple Machine Learning stages in production can be difficult. This gives an overview of simplified process and management of Python based ML projects using Airflow.
