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.

Getting started with data processing and analysis

In the previous chapter, we utilized a data warehouse and a data lake to store, manage, and query our data. Data stored in these data sources generally must undergo a series of data processing and data transformation steps similar to those shown in Figure 5.1 before it can be used as a training dataset for ML experiments:

Figure 5.1 – Data processing and analysis

In Figure 5.1, we can see that these data processing steps may involve merging different datasets, along with cleaning, converting, analyzing, and transforming the data using a variety of options and techniques. In practice, data scientists and ML engineers generally spend a lot of hours cleaning the data and getting it ready for use in ML experiments. Some professionals may be used to writing and running custom Python or R scripts to perform this work. However, it may be more practical to use no-code or low-code solutions such as AWS Glue DataBrew...
