Data Science Garage's video: Data Versioning Control with Real ML Project Hands-On Lesson 1

This Hands-on tutorial demonstrated how to use Data Versioning Control (DVC) commands for real Machine Learning (ML) project. DVC is an important part of (Machine Learning Operations). You will learn how to initialize a new DVC session, how to prepare your data for tracking with DCV, how to read .dvc files, to understand what the information is stored in these files, and more. Also, once you watched this tutorial, you will know how to pull data from remote storage to your project. Overall, this video shows the best practise how to work with DVC workflows for beginners and advances users (data scientists, data analytics, MLOps engineers). DOWNLOAD THE FILES TO START THE TUTORIAL: - You can fully follow the explained steps by yourself by cloning this Github repository to your local: https://github.com/vb100/dvc_project - Training and Validation data: https://s3.amazonaws.com/fast-ai-imageclas/imagenette2-160.tgz To complete this lesson, you will create a new branch on your Github repository where all data versioning control actions will be made. You should understand that while combining Git and DVC, small files goes to Git, and large files goes to DVC control. Each control has it's own components, such as Git staging area, DVC cache, DVC remote and more. The remote storage can be on the same computer (tutorial use-case) you are working on, or it can be in the cloud: - AWS S3 Bucket. - Google Cloud Bucket. - Azure Blob storage, etc. The content of the tutorial: 0:00 - Intro 1:17 - P1.
