MakinaRocks, unveiling the AI/ML modeling tool โLinkโ
Link is an extension for JupyterLab โ an interactive development interface for notebooks, code, and data โ that lets users easily create readable pipelines for AI and ML modeling. Link maintains the usability of JupyterLab that data scientists rely on while removing technological hurdles related to Kubernetes, a portable, open-source platform for managing workloads and services. By removing the technological hurdles associated with Kubernetes, Link allows users to create pipelines that can be used in MLOps environments with ease, even without a working knowledge of Kubernetes.
