Machine Learning at Scale with H2O

By: Gregory Keys, David Whiting

Overview of this book

H2O is an open source, fast, and scalable machine learning framework that allows you to build models using big data and then easily productionalize them in diverse enterprise environments. Machine Learning at Scale with H2O begins with an overview of the challenges faced in building machine learning models on large enterprise systems, and then addresses how H2O helps you to overcome them. You’ll start by exploring H2O’s in-memory distributed architecture and find out how it enables you to build highly accurate and explainable models on massive datasets using your favorite ML algorithms, language, and IDE. You’ll also get to grips with the seamless integration of H2O model building and deployment with Spark using H2O Sparkling Water. You’ll then learn how to easily deploy models with H2O MOJO. Next, the book shows you how H2O Enterprise Steam handles admin configurations and user management, and then helps you to identify different stakeholder perspectives that a data scientist must understand in order to succeed in an enterprise setting. Finally, you’ll be introduced to the H2O AI Cloud platform and explore the entire machine learning life cycle using multiple advanced AI capabilities. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build and deploy advanced, state-of-the-art machine learning models for your business needs.

Section 4 – Enterprise Stakeholder Perspectives

In this section, we put on our enterprise stakeholder hats and learn how to plan for, deploy, administer, maintain, and secure the H2O at scale platform. You will first understand how Enterprise Steam works to integrate H2O with your enterprise server cluster and security environment. You will then learn how to configure Enterprise Steam to govern users and define the size of their H2O model-building environments, thereby controlling resource consumption and cost on your enterprise cluster. From there, we learn key areas of operations to support model building and deployment with H2O. Finally, we learn the details of H2O architecture and security from multiple architecture views. Data scientists are shown how these activities relate to their own needs.

This section comprises the following chapters:

  • Chapter 11, The Administrator and Operations Views
  • Chapter 12, The Enterprise Architect and Security Views
