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.

How to securely transfer large amounts of data into the cloud

To understand this topic, let’s start with a simple example where you want to build and train a computer vision deep learning model to detect product defects in your manufacturing production line. You have cameras installed on each production line, which capture hundreds of images each day. Each image can be up to 5 MB in size, and you have about 1 TB of data, which is currently stored on-premises in a NAS filesystem that you want to use to train your machine learning model. You have about 1 Gbps of network bandwidth and need to start training your model in 2-4 weeks. There is no impact on other applications if the data is moved to the cloud and no structured data is needed for building the computer vision model. Let’s rearrange this information into the following structure, which will become part of your data strategy document:

  • Objective: To transfer 1 TB of image data to the cloud, where the file...
