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.

Building the CI/CD pipeline resources

To begin re-factoring the Age Calculator use case, we are going to work through the initial setup steps from the perspective of the development and operations teams. We will be using the same Cloud9 development environment that we created in Chapter 4, Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) for Machine Learning, to perform the following tasks:

  • Updating the development environment
  • Creating the pipeline artifact repository
  • Building the pipeline application artifacts
  • Deploying the CI/CD pipeline

Let's get started.

Updating the development environment

Start by logging into the same AWS account you've been using up to this point and open the AWS Cloud9 console (https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloud9). Under Your environments, click the Open IDE button to launch the MLOps-IDE development environment.

Note

If you have not provisioned the MLOps-IDE environment, please refer to the Preparing...
