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.

Automating data preparation and analysis with AWS Glue DataBrew

AWS Glue DataBrew is a no-code data preparation service built to help data scientists and ML engineers clean, prepare, and transform data. Similar to the services we used in Chapter 4, Serverless Data Management on AWS, Glue DataBrew is serverless as well. This means that we won’t need to worry about infrastructure management when using this service to perform data preparation, transformation, and analysis.

Figure 5.2 – The core concepts in AWS Glue DataBrew

In Figure 5.2, we can see that there are different concepts and resources involved when using AWS Glue DataBrew. We need to have a good idea of what these are before using the service. Here is a quick overview of the concepts and terms used:

  • Dataset – Data stored in an existing data source (for example, Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, or Amazon RDS) or uploaded from the local machine to an S3 bucket.
  • Recipe –...
