Applied Machine Learning and High-Performance Computing on AWS

By: Mani Khanuja, Farooq Sabir, Shreyas Subramanian, Trenton Potgieter

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.

Summary

In this chapter, we have discussed the different data storage options available on AWS, along with their main features and capabilities. We have introduced Amazon S3 – a highly scalable and reliable object storage service, Amazon EFS – a shared file system for EC2 instances, Amazon EBS – block storage for EC2 instances, and the Amazon FSx family of file systems. We have also talked about the data protection and governance capabilities of these services and how they integrate with various other data protection, access management, encryption, logging, and monitoring services. We have also explored the various tiers of storage available for Amazon S3 and Amazon EFS and how we can use these tiers to optimize cost for our use cases. Finally, we have discussed a few examples of when to use which data storage service for high-performance compute applications.

Now that we have a good understanding of various AWS data storage services, we are ready to move on...
