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.

Building end-to-end workflows with Amazon SageMaker Pipelines

Amazon SageMaker Pipelines lets us create and run end-to-end machine learning workflows based on SageMaker steps for training, tuning, batch transform, and processing scripts, using SageMaker APIs SDK that are very similar to the ones we used in Step Functions.

Compared to Step Functions, SageMaker Pipelines adds the following features:

  • The ability to write, run, visualize and manage your workflows directly in SageMaker Studio, without having to jump to the AWS console.
  • A model registry, which makes it easier to manage model versions, deploy only approved versions, and track lineage.
  • MLOps templates – a collection of CloudFormation templates published via AWS Service Catalog that help you automate the deployment of your models. Built-in templates are provided, and you can add your own. You (or your Ops team) can learn more at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/sagemaker-projects.html...
