Machine Learning Engineering on AWS

Skip to Scheduled Dates

Course Overview

Machine Learning (ML) Engineering on Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a 3-day intermediate course designed for ML professionals seeking to learn machine learning engineering on AWS. Participants learn to build, deploy, orchestrate, and operationalize ML solutions at scale through a balanced combination of theory, practical labs, and activities. Participants will gain practical experience using AWS services such as Amazon SageMaker AI and analytics tools such as Amazon EMR to develop robust, scalable, and production-ready machine learning applications.

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for professionals who are interested in building, deploying, and operationalizing machine learning models on AWS. This could include current and in-training machine learning engineers who might have little prior experience with AWS. Other roles that can benefit from this training are DevOps engineer, developer, and SysOps engineer.

Course Objectives

    • Explain ML fundamentals and its applications in the AWS Cloud.
    • Process, transform, and engineer data for ML tasks by using AWS services.
    • Select appropriate ML algorithms and modeling approaches based on problem requirements and model interpretability.
    • Design and implement scalable ML pipelines by using AWS services for model training, deployment, and orchestration.
    • Create automated continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for ML workflows.
    • Discuss appropriate security measures for ML resources on AWS.
    • Implement monitoring strategies for deployed ML models, including techniques for detecting data drift.
