Using a CI/CD pipeline to automate model training, validation, and deployment (A) is the most

aligned with reliable and efficient MLOps practices. Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment

(CI/CD) automates the ML lifecycle—building, testing, and deploying models—ensuring consistency,

reducing errors, and enabling rapid iteration. Tools like Kubeflow or Jenkins, integrated with NVIDIA

GPU Operator, schedule jobs efficiently on GPU clusters, validating models in staging environments

before production rollout.

Running all jobs simultaneously(B) risks resource contention and instability, not efficiency.

Manual triggering(C) is slow and error-prone, counter to MLOps automation goals.

Direct deployment without staging(D) skips validation, risking unreliable models in production.

NVIDIA supports CI/CD for AI deployment in its MLOps guidelines (A).
