Yup! We'll be cutting the MLOps Stacks v0.2 release after this PR merges, and deco team has plans to add this semantic versioning to the bundle aliases.

This will prompt for parameters for project initialization. Some of these parameters are required to get started:

## FAQ

### Do I need separate dev/staging/prod workspaces to use this stack?
### Do I need separate dev/staging/prod workspaces to use MLOps Stacks?
We recommend using separate dev/staging/prod Databricks workspaces for stronger
isolation between environments. For example, Databricks REST API rate limits
are applied per-workspace, so if using [Databricks Model Serving](https://docs.databricks.com/applications/mlflow/model-serving.html),
using separate workspaces can help prevent high load in staging from DOSing your
production model serving endpoints.

However, you can run the stack against just a single workspace, against a dev and
staging/prod workspace, etc. Just supply the same workspace URL for
However, you can create a single workspace stack, by supplying the same workspace URL for
`input_databricks_staging_workspace_host` and `input_databricks_prod_workspace_host`. If you go this route, we
recommend using different service principals to manage staging vs prod resources,
to ensure that CI workloads run in staging cannot interfere with production resources.

### I have an existing ML project. Can I productionize it using this stack?
Yes. Currently, you can instantiate a new project from the stack and copy relevant components
into your existing project to productionize it. The stack is modularized, so
### I have an existing ML project. Can I productionize it using MLOps Stacks?
Yes. Currently, you can instantiate a new project and copy relevant components

you can e.g. copy just the GitHub Actions workflows under `.github` or ML resource configs
under ``{{.input_root_dir}}/{{template `project_name_alphanumeric_underscore` .}}/resources``
and ``{{.input_root_dir}}/{{template `project_name_alphanumeric_underscore` .}}/bundle.yml`` into your existing project.

### Can I adopt individual components of the stack?

### Can I adopt individual components of MLOps Stacks?
For this use case, we recommend instantiating via [Databricks asset bundle templates](https://docs.databricks.com/en/dev-tools/bundles/templates.html)
and copying the relevant subdirectories. For example, all ML resource configs
are defined under ``{{.input_root_dir}}/{{template `project_name_alphanumeric_underscore` .}}/resources``
and ``{{.input_root_dir}}/{{template `project_name_alphanumeric_underscore` .}}/bundle.yml``, while CI/CD is defined e.g. under `.github`
and ``{{.input_root_dir}}/{{template `project_name_alphanumeric_underscore` .}}/databricks.yml``, while CI/CD is defined e.g. under `.github`
if using GitHub Actions, or under `.azure` if using Azure DevOps.

### Can I customize this stack?
### Can I customize my MLOps Stack?
Yes. We provide the default stack in this repo as a production-friendly starting point for MLOps.
However, in many cases you may need to customize the stack to match your organization's
best practices. See [the stack customization guide](stack-customization.md)
for details on how to do this.
