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.

Training a model using Kubeflow

Kubeflow (https://www.kubeflow.org) covers every step of model development, including data exploration, preprocessing, feature extraction, model training, model serving, inferencing, and versioning. Kubeflow allows you to easily scale from a local development environment to production clusters by leveraging containers and Kubernetes, a management system for containerized applications.  

Kubeflow might be your first choice for distributed training if your organization is already using the Kubernetes ecosystem.  

Introducing Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open source orchestration platform that’s used to manage containerized workloads and services (https://kubernetes.io): 

  • Kubernetes helps with continuous delivery, integration, and deployment. 
  • It separates development environments from deployment environments. You can construct a container image and develop the application in parallel.
  • The container...
