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.

Deep Learning AMIs

In the Essential prerequisites section of Chapter 1, Introduction to ML Engineering on AWS, it probably took us about an hour or so to set up our Cloud9 environment. We had to spend a bit of time installing several packages, along with a few dependencies, before we were able to work on the actual machine learning (ML) requirements. On top of this, we had to make sure that we were using the right versions for certain packages to avoid running into a variety of issues. If you think this is error-prone and tedious, imagine being given the assignment of preparing 20 ML environments for a team of data scientists! Let me repeat that… TWENTY! It would have taken us around 15 to 20 hours of doing the same thing over and over again. After a week of using the ML environments you prepared, the data scientists then requested that you also install the deep learning frameworks TensorFlow, PyTorch, and MXNet inside these environments since they’ll be testing different...
