Machine Learning Engineering on AWS

By: Joshua Arvin Lat

Overview of this book

There is a growing need for professionals with experience in working on machine learning (ML) engineering requirements as well as those with knowledge of automating complex MLOps pipelines in the cloud. This book explores a variety of AWS services, such as Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, AWS Glue, AWS Lambda, Amazon Redshift, and AWS Lake Formation, which ML practitioners can leverage to meet various data engineering and ML engineering requirements in production. This machine learning book covers the essential concepts as well as step-by-step instructions that are designed to help you get a solid understanding of how to manage and secure ML workloads in the cloud. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll discover how to use several container and serverless solutions when training and deploying TensorFlow and PyTorch deep learning models on AWS. You’ll also delve into proven cost optimization techniques as well as data privacy and model privacy preservation strategies in detail as you explore best practices when using each AWS. By the end of this AWS book, you'll be able to build, scale, and secure your own ML systems and pipelines, which will give you the experience and confidence needed to architect custom solutions using a variety of AWS services for ML engineering requirements.

Creating Lambda functions for deployment

Our second (and more complete pipeline) will require a few additional resources to help us deploy our ML model. In this section, we will create the following Lambda functions:

  • check-if-endpoint-exists – This is a Lambda function that accepts the name of the ML inference endpoint as input and returns True if the endpoint exists already.
  • deploy-model-to-new-endpoint – This is a Lambda function that accepts the model package ARN as input (along with the role and the endpoint name) and deploys the model into a new inference endpoint
  • deploy-model-to-existing-endpoint – This is a Lambda function that accepts the model package ARN as input (along with the role and the endpoint name) and deploys the model into an existing inference endpoint (by updating the deployed model inside the ML instance)

We will use these functions later in the Completing the end-to-end ML pipeline section to deploy the ML model we...
