Automated Machine Learning on AWS

By: Trenton Potgieter

Overview of this book

AWS provides a wide range of solutions to help automate a machine learning workflow with just a few lines of code. With this practical book, you'll learn how to automate a machine learning pipeline using the various AWS services. Automated Machine Learning on AWS begins with a quick overview of what the machine learning pipeline/process looks like and highlights the typical challenges that you may face when building a pipeline. Throughout the book, you'll become well versed with various AWS solutions such as Amazon SageMaker Autopilot, AutoGluon, and AWS Step Functions to automate an end-to-end ML process with the help of hands-on examples. The book will show you how to build, monitor, and execute a CI/CD pipeline for the ML process and how the various CI/CD services within AWS can be applied to a use case with the Cloud Development Kit (CDK). You'll understand what a data-centric ML process is by working with the Amazon Managed Services for Apache Airflow and then build a managed Airflow environment. You'll also cover the key success criteria for an MLSDLC implementation and the process of creating a self-mutating CI/CD pipeline using AWS CDK from the perspective of the platform engineering team. By the end of this AWS book, you'll be able to effectively automate a complete machine learning pipeline and deploy it to production.

Technical requirements

To follow along with the examples in the chapter, you will need the following:

  • A web browser (for the best experience, it is recommended that you use a Chrome or Firefox browser).
  • Access to the AWS Account that you've been using through the book.
  • Access to the Cloud9 development environment we've been using thought the book.
  • We will once again be working within the usage limits of the AWS Free Tier to avoid incurring unnecessary costs.
  • The full source code for the application artifacts is provided in the companion GitHub repository for this chapter (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Automated-Machine-Learning-on-AWS/tree/main/Chapter10).
