DataOps is likened to a grain mill that builds data assets from raw data. MLOps is likened to a bread factory that uses the data assets from DataOps to build machine learning models. DevOps is likened to a restaurant that packages the models from MLOps into applications for end users. Each stage involves building, testing, and releasing products through an automated delivery pipeline with feedback loops for continuous improvement.

2. Think Mill/Grain as Data Operations where Data Assets
are built in place of floor.
Data Assets are utilized to build models in MLOps below
Think Bread Factory as a Machine Learning Operation (MLOps)
where Models are built (using data assets) in place of bread
Models are packaged into App as part of DevOps below
Think Restaurant as Application Dev Operation where
applications are built (using models) in place of sandwich
Apps are consumed by end users
