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.

Creating a Glue job for ETL

AWS Glue (https://aws.amazon.com/glue) supports data processing in a serverless fashion. The computational resource of Glue is managed by AWS, so less effort is needed for maintenance, unlike in the case of dedicated clusters (for example, EMR). Other than the minimal maintenance effort for the resources, Glue provides additional features such as a built-in scheduler and Glue Data Catalog, which will be discussed later.

First, let’s learn how to set up data processing jobs using Glue. Before you start defining the logic for data processing, you must create a Glue Data Catalog that contains the schema for the data in S3. Once a Glue Data Catalog has been defined for the input data, you can use the Glue Python editor to define the details of the data processing logic (Figure 5.8). The editor provides a basic setup for your application to reduce the difficulties in setting up a Glue job: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/edit-script.html...
