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.

Data warehouses play a crucial role in data management, data analysis, and data engineering. Data engineers and ML engineers spend time building data warehouses to work on projects involving batch reporting and business intelligence.

Figure 4.11 – Data warehouse

As shown in the preceding diagram, a data warehouse contains combined data from different relational data sources such as PostgreSQL and MySQL databases. It generally serves as the single source of truth when querying data for reporting and business intelligence requirements. In ML experiments, a data warehouse can serve as the source of clean data where we can extract the dataset used to build and train ML models.

Note

When generating reports, businesses and start-ups may end up performing queries directly on the production databases used by running web applications. It is important to note that these queries may cause unplanned...
