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 SageMaker

In this section, you will learn how to create an endpoint using SageMaker instead of the EKS cluster. First, we will describe framework-independent ways of creating inference endpoints (the Model class). Then, we will look at creating TF endpoints using TensorFlowModel and the TF-specific Estimator class. The next section will focus on endpoint creation for PyTorch models using the PyTorchModel class and the PyTorch-specific Estimator class. Furthermore, we will introduce how to build an endpoint from an ONNX model. At this point, we should have a service running model prediction for incoming requests. After that, we will describe how to improve the quality of a service using AWS SageMaker Neo and the EI accelerator. Finally, we will cover autoscaling and describe how to host multiple models on a single endpoint.

As described in the Utilizing SageMaker for ETL section in Chapter 5, Data Preparation in the Cloud, SageMaker provides a built-in notebook...
