Learn Amazon SageMaker - Second Edition

By: Julien Simon

Overview of this book

Amazon SageMaker enables you to quickly build, train, and deploy machine learning models at scale without managing any infrastructure. It helps you focus on the machine learning problem at hand and deploy high-quality models by eliminating the heavy lifting typically involved in each step of the ML process. This second edition will help data scientists and ML developers to explore new features such as SageMaker Data Wrangler, Pipelines, Clarify, Feature Store, and much more. You'll start by learning how to use various capabilities of SageMaker as a single toolset to solve ML challenges and progress to cover features such as AutoML, built-in algorithms and frameworks, and writing your own code and algorithms to build ML models. The book will then show you how to integrate Amazon SageMaker with popular deep learning libraries, such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, to extend the capabilities of existing models. You'll also see how automating your workflows can help you get to production faster with minimum effort and at a lower cost. Finally, you'll explore SageMaker Debugger and SageMaker Model Monitor to detect quality issues in training and production. By the end of this Amazon book, you'll be able to use Amazon SageMaker on the full spectrum of ML workflows, from experimentation, training, and monitoring to scaling, deployment, and automation.

Chapter 8: Using Your Algorithms and Code

In the previous chapter, you learned how to train and deploy models with built-in frameworks such as scikit-learn and TensorFlow. Thanks to script mode, these frameworks make it easy to use your own code, without having to manage any training or inference containers.

In some cases, your business or technical environment could make it difficult or even impossible to use these containers. Maybe you need to be in full control of how containers are built. Maybe you'd like to implement your own prediction logic. Maybe you're working with a framework or language that's not natively supported by SageMaker.

In this chapter, you'll learn how to tailor training and inference containers to your own needs. You'll also learn how to train and deploy your own custom code, using either the SageMaker SDK directly or command-line open source tools.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • Understanding how...
