Overview of this book

Machine learning engineers, deep learning specialists, and data engineers encounter various problems when moving deep learning models to a production environment. The main objective of this book is to close the gap between theory and applications by providing a thorough explanation of how to transform various models for deployment and efficiently distribute them with a full understanding of the alternatives. First, you will learn how to construct complex deep learning models in PyTorch and TensorFlow. Next, you will acquire the knowledge you need to transform your models from one framework to the other and learn how to tailor them for specific requirements that deployment environments introduce. The book also provides concrete implementations and associated methodologies that will help you apply the knowledge you gain right away. You will get hands-on experience with commonly used deep learning frameworks and popular cloud services designed for data analytics at scale. Additionally, you will get to grips with the authors’ collective knowledge of deploying hundreds of AI-based services at a large scale. By the end of this book, you will have understood how to convert a model developed for proof of concept into a production-ready application optimized for a particular production setting.

Summary

In this chapter, we introduced ONNX, a universal representation of ML models. The benefit of ONNX mostly comes from its model deployment, as it handles environment-specific optimization and conversions for us behind the scenes through ORT. Another advantage of ONNX comes from its interoperability; it can be used to convert a DL model generated with a framework for the other frameworks. In this chapter, we covered conversion for TensorFlow and PyTorch specifically, as they are the two most standard DL frameworks.

Taking another step toward efficient DL model deployment, in the next chapter, we will learn how to use Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and SageMaker to set up a model inference endpoint.
