A platform operator installs MLOps Central Platform on a single server, secures it and creates the first tenant
This chapter is for the platform operator: install MLOps Central Platform on a single server, secure it, and create the first tenant.
MLOps Central Platform consists of one app started with Docker Compose and a k3s cluster where the training, build and serving pods run. The API, MLflow and the container registry are all inside the app.
