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.

Setting up Lake Formation

Now, it’s time to take a closer look at setting up our serverless data lake on AWS! Before we begin, let’s define what a data lake is and what type of data is stored in it. A data lake is a centralized data store that contains a variety of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data from different data sources. As shown in the following diagram, data can be stored in a data lake without us having to worry about the structure and format. We can use a variety of file types such as JSON, CSV, and Apache Parquet when storing data in a data lake. In addition to these, data lakes may include both raw and processed (clean) data:

ML engineers and data scientists can use data lakes as the source of the data used for building and training ML models. Since the data stored in data lakes may be a mixture of both raw and clean data, additional data processing, data cleaning...
