Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications using a YAML file to configure services.It simplifies creating and configuring environments where services interact, allowing you to manage multiple containers with a single command.Docker Compose is ideal for development and testing, quickly spinning up services like databases, APIs, and web apps locally.In contrast, Kubernetes is suited for managing large-scale production applications, providing stability and scalability.Docker Compose handles local development efficiently, while Kubernetes ensures application availability and resource management in production.A sample ML project with Docker Compose involves a machine learning service and a PostgreSQL database for storing results.The project structure includes defining services in a docker-compose.yml file, creating Dockerfiles for services, and configuring dependencies.The ML service involves training a model, creating a Flask API for predictions, and storing results in PostgreSQL.Running the project with Docker Compose builds images, starts containers, and runs the Flask model on port 5000.Using Docker Compose simplifies managing multiple services for machine learning projects, offering scalability and centralized control.
