A very crisp & well-organized recipe on how CPD becomes the data fabric in an enterprise to handle data prep, data delivery in the governed catalogs, and consumption by end-users in form of apps such as dashboard and ML scoring services.The book serves as the holy grail for AI/ML Dataops practitioners who deal with data and metadata management, data quality, integration, ML models, self-serve analytics, visualization, and governance. The book was immensely helpful to my peers as we are modernizing our internal Data Platform to bringing new capabilities around AI and MLOps for teams to be more agile and updated with current technologies

This is a great book that provides readers with an understanding of Cloud Pak for Data and how it can be used in their organization. The content is engaging and easy to understand for individuals with various technical backgrounds. The book provides an excellent explanation of the AI Ladder (Collect, Organize, Analyze, and Infuse) and how various CP4D services tie into each ‘rung’ of the ladder, including common use cases such as risk and control automation, voice-enabled chatbots, and data fabric and self-service analytics. This book is great for anyone who is considering implementing Cloud Pak for Data in their organization, or for anyone who is just getting started with Cloud Pak for Data, as it provides a detailed overview of the different platform components and how they can be utilized to achieve business goals.
