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.

Summary

In this chapter, you discovered the main capabilities of Amazon SageMaker, and how they can help solve your machine learning pain points. By providing you with managed infrastructure and pre-installed tools, SageMaker lets you focus on the machine learning problem itself. Thus, you can go more quickly from experimenting with models to deploying them in production.

Then, you learned how to set up Amazon SageMaker on your local machine and in Amazon SageMaker Studio. The latter is a managed machine learning IDE where many other SageMaker capabilities are just a few clicks away.

Finally, you learned about Amazon SageMaker JumpStart, a collection of machine learning solutions and state-of-the-art models that you can deploy in one click, and start testing in minutes.

In the next chapter, we'll see how you can use Amazon SageMaker and other AWS services to prepare your datasets for training.
