Conclusion - AWS Prescriptive Guidance

Conclusion

As machine learning transitions from a research discipline to an applied field, we’ve seen a yearly growth of 25 percent in ML pipeline development, deployment, and operation in various industries. The business value of ML is realized through day-to-day ML operations and pipelines, which, in turn, drive the research and development of ML models and algorithms. Nonetheless, deploying ML in production presents numerous challenges, because it interweaves significantly different activities and artifacts, such as data management, processing, analysis, modeling, verification, and security. Through numerous AI/ML engagements with AWS customers, our Data Science team has observed that a key challenge is the lack of an end-to-end workflow that would provide a set of templates for optimally fusing or separating different ML DevOps activities and artifacts. In this guide, we presented the ML Max workflow to address this pressing issue. ML Max provides step-by-step guidelines and a set of programming templates. The goal is to enable a fast and cost-effective transition from an interactive model development phase to a complete, scalable ML pipeline configuration that is ready for production.
