Why Orchestration? Cron Isn't Enough

Day 61 of 100 Days of MLOps, and Module 7 begins. Real ML systems run themselves — retrain nightly, re-score on schedule — but stitching a multi-step pipeline together with shell scripts and cron is a trap. Watch a transient failure either kill the whole pipeline silently or let downstream steps run on missing data, and see why real workflows need an orchestrator that handles dependencies, retries, scheduling and failure. Runs 100% locally on any OS.
