Amazon SageMaker Best Practices

Overcome advanced challenges in building end-to-end ML solutions by leveraging the capabilities of Amazon SageMaker for developing and integrating ML models into production

Key Features

• Learn best practices for all phases of building machine learning solutions - from data preparation to monitoring models in production
• Automate end-to-end machine learning workflows with Amazon SageMaker and related AWS
• Design, architect, and operate machine learning workloads in the AWS Cloud

Book Description

Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed AWS service that provides the ability to build, train, deploy, and monitor machine learning models. The book begins with a high-level overview of Amazon SageMaker capabilities that map to the various phases of the machine learning process to help set the right foundation. You'll learn efficient tactics to address data science challenges such as processing data at scale, data preparation, connecting to big data pipelines, identifying data bias, running A/B tests, and model explainability using Amazon SageMaker. As you advance, you'll understand how you can tackle the challenge of training at scale, including how to use large data sets while saving costs, monitoring training resources to identify bottlenecks, speeding up long training jobs, and tracking multiple models trained for a common goal. Moving ahead, you'll find out how you can integrate Amazon SageMaker with other AWS to build reliable, cost-optimized, and automated machine learning applications. In addition to this, you'll build ML pipelines integrated with MLOps principles and apply best practices to build secure and performant solutions.

By the end of the book, you'll confidently be able to apply Amazon SageMaker's wide range of capabilities to the full spectrum of machine learning workflows.
