Overview of this book

Machine learning (ML) and high-performance computing (HPC) on AWS run compute-intensive workloads across industries and emerging applications. Its use cases can be linked to various verticals, such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), genomics, and autonomous vehicles. This book provides end-to-end guidance, starting with HPC concepts for storage and networking. It then progresses to working examples on how to process large datasets using SageMaker Studio and EMR. Next, you’ll learn how to build, train, and deploy large models using distributed training. Later chapters also guide you through deploying models to edge devices using SageMaker and IoT Greengrass, and performance optimization of ML models, for low latency use cases. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build, train, and deploy your own large-scale ML application, using HPC on AWS, following industry best practices and addressing the key pain points encountered in the application life cycle.

Designing an architecture for optimal edge deployments

While there are a number of key factors that influence the edge architecture design, as was highlighted in the previous section, there is also a critical capability necessary to enable these factors, namely the ability to build, deploy, and manage the device software at the edge. Additionally, we also need the ability to manage the application, in essence, the ML model deployed to run on the edge devices. Consequently, AWS provides both of these management capabilities using a dedicated device management service called AWS IoT Greengrass (https://aws.amazon.com/greengrass/), as well as the ML model management capability built into Amazon SageMaker called Amazon SageMaker Edge (https://aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/edge). AWS IoT Greengrass is a service provided by AWS to deploy software to remote devices at scale without firmware updates. Figure 8.1 shows an example of an architecture that leverages both Greengrass and SageMaker to...
