Course Overview
This course builds upon and extends the DevOps practice prevalent in software development to build, train, and deploy machine learning (ML) models. The course stresses the importance of data, model, and code to successful ML deployments. It will demonstrate the use of tools, automation, processes, and teamwork in addressing the challenges associated with handoffs between data engineers, data scientists, software developers, and operations. The course will also discuss the use of tools and processes to monitor and take action when the model prediction in production starts to drift from agreed-upon key performance indicators.
Who Should Attend
This course is intended for any one of the following roles with responsibility for productionizing machine
learning models in the AWS Cloud:
DevOps engineers
ML engineers
Developers/operations with responsibility for operationalizing ML models
Course Objectives
- Describe machine learning operations

- Describe the machine learning workflow
- Discuss the importance of communications in MLOps
- Explain end-to-end options for automation of ML workflows
- List key Amazon SageMaker features for MLOps automation
- Build an automated ML process that builds, trains, tests, and deploys models
- Build an automated ML process that retrains the model based on change(s) to the model code
- Identify elements and important steps in the deployment process
- Describe items that might be included in a model package, and their use in training or inference
- Recognize Amazon SageMaker options for selecting models for deployment, including support for ML frameworks and built-in algorithms or bring-your-own-models
- Differentiate scaling in machine learning from scaling in other applications
- Determine when to use different approaches to inference
- Discuss deployment strategies, benefits, challenges, and typical use cases
