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.

Inferencing using Elastic Kubernetes Service

EKS is designed to provide Kubernetes clusters for application deployment by simplifying the complex cluster management process (https://aws.amazon.com/eks). The detailed steps for creating an EKS cluster can be found at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/create-cluster.html. In general, an EKS cluster is used to deploy any web service application and scale it as necessary. The inference endpoint on EKS is just a web service application that handles model inference requests. In this section, you will learn how to host a DL model inference endpoint on EKS.

A Kubernetes cluster has a control plane and a set of nodes. The control plane makes scheduling and scaling decisions based on the volume of incoming traffic. With scheduling, the control plane manages which node runs a job at a given point in time. With scaling, the control plane increases or decreases the size of the pod based on the volume of traffic coming into the...
