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.

Using Amazon Athena to query data in Amazon S3

Amazon Athena is a serverless query service that allows us to use SQL statements to query data from files stored in S3. With Amazon Athena, we don’t have to worry about infrastructure management and it scales automatically to handle our queries:

Figure 4.35 – How Amazon Athena works

If you were to set this up yourself, you may need to set up an EC2 instance cluster with an application such as Presto. In addition to this, you will need to manage the overall cost, security, performance, and stability of this EC2 cluster setup yourself.

Setting up the query result location

If the Before you run your first query, you need to set up a query result location in Amazon S3 notification appears on the Editor page, this means that you must make a quick configuration change on the Amazon Athena Settings page so that Athena can store the query results in a specified S3 bucket location every time there’...
