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.

Preparing the essential prerequisites

In this section, we will ensure that the following prerequisites are ready before proceeding with the hands-on solutions of this chapter:

  • The Parquet file to be analyzed and processed
  • The S3 bucket where the Parquet file will be uploaded

Downloading the Parquet file

In this chapter, we will work with a similar bookings dataset as the one used in previous chapters. However, the source data is stored in a Parquet file this time, and we have modified some of the rows so that the dataset will have dirty data. That said, let’s download the synthetic.bookings.dirty.parquet file onto our local machine.

You can find it here: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Machine-Learning-Engineering-on-AWS/raw/main/chapter05/synthetic.bookings.dirty.parquet.

Note

Note that storing data using the Parquet format is preferable to storing data using the CSV format. Once you need to work with much larger datasets, the difference...
