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.

Summary

Data needs to be cleaned, analyzed, and prepared before it is used to train ML models. Since it takes time and effort to work on these types of requirements, it is recommended to use no-code or low-code solutions such as AWS Glue DataBrew and Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler when analyzing and processing our data. In this chapter, we were able to use these two services to analyze and process our sample dataset. Starting with a sample “dirty” dataset, we performed a variety of transformations and operations, which included (1) profiling and analyzing the data, (2) filtering out rows containing invalid data, (3) creating a new column from an existing one, (4) exporting the results into an output location, and (5) verifying whether the transformations have been applied to the output file.

In the next chapter, we will take a closer look at Amazon SageMaker and we will dive deeper into how we can use this managed service when performing machine learning experiments...
