Boris Johnson has been accused of many, many things over the years. But the parties and the lies, the sleaze and the juicier scandals don’t seem to interest historians Anthony Seldon and Raymond Newell much.

Learn how to deploy ML models in Kubernetes clusters and to implement autoscaling for our deployment with HPA and KEDAPhoto by Adam Kool on UnsplashIn most ML applications, deploying trained models to production is a crucial stage. It’s where the models demonstrate their values by giving predictions for customers or other systems.Deploying a model can be as simple as implementing a Flask server and then exporting its endpoints for users to call.

At the age of 68, the author and academic Anthony Seldon set out on a 1,000km trek in search of peace. He has always been restlessly ambitious.

But by 2020 his hyperactive life had started to unravel.His beloved wife, Joanna, had…
