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.

Customizing an existing framework container

Of course, we could simply write a Dockerfile referencing one of the Deep Learning Containers images (https://github.com/aws/deep-learning-containers/blob/master/available_images.md) and add our own commands. See the following example:

FROM 763104351884.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/tensorflow-training:2.4.1-cpu-py37-ubuntu18.04
. . .

Instead, let's customize and rebuild the PyTorch training and inference containers on our local machine. The process is similar to other frameworks.

Build environment

Docker needs to be installed and running. To avoid throttling when pulling base images, I recommend that you create a Docker Hub account (https://hub.docker.com) and log in with docker login or Docker Desktop.

To avoid bizarre dependency issues (I'm looking at you, macOS), I also recommend that you build images on an Amazon EC2 instance powered by Amazon Linux 2. You don't need a large one (m5.large should suffice...
