Amazon SageMaker Best Practices

By: Sireesha Muppala, Randy DeFauw, Shelbee Eigenbrode

Overview of this book

Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed AWS service that provides the ability to build, train, deploy, and monitor machine learning models. The book begins with a high-level overview of Amazon SageMaker capabilities that map to the various phases of the machine learning process to help set the right foundation. You'll learn efficient tactics to address data science challenges such as processing data at scale, data preparation, connecting to big data pipelines, identifying data bias, running A/B tests, and model explainability using Amazon SageMaker. As you advance, you'll understand how you can tackle the challenge of training at scale, including how to use large data sets while saving costs, monitoring training resources to identify bottlenecks, speeding up long training jobs, and tracking multiple models trained for a common goal. Moving ahead, you'll find out how you can integrate Amazon SageMaker with other AWS to build reliable, cost-optimized, and automated machine learning applications. In addition to this, you'll build ML pipelines integrated with MLOps principles and apply best practices to build secure and performant solutions. By the end of the book, you'll confidently be able to apply Amazon SageMaker's wide range of capabilities to the full spectrum of machine learning workflows.

Retrieving features from feature groups

Once feature groups are populated, to retrieve features from the feature store, there are two APIs available – get_record and batch_get_record. The following code block shows retrieving a single record from a feature group using the get_record API:

record_identifier_value = str('300')
response = sagemaker_fs_runtime_client.get_record
(FeatureGroupName=weather_feature_group_name_online,
RecordIdentifierValueAsString=record_identifier_value)
response
Response from the code block looks similar to the following figure:
{'ResponseMetadata': {'RequestId': '195debf2-3b10-4116-98c7-142dc13e9df3',
  'HTTPStatusCode': 200,
  'HTTPHeaders': {'x-amzn-requestid': '195debf2-3b10-4116-98c7-142dc13e9df3',
