AWS Beirut UG Meetup #9: SageMaker + TensorFlow Workshop by Beirut AI
Details
Lets kickstart 2020 with an AWSome SageMaker workshop brought to you by AWS and Beirut AI.
TensorFlow enables developers to quickly get started with deep learning on the cloud. Get started on AWS with a fully-managed TensorFlow/Keras experience with Amazon SageMaker, a platform to build, train, and deploy machine learning models at scale.
You can use Amazon SageMaker to train and deploy a model using custom TensorFlow code. The Amazon SageMaker Python SDK TensorFlow estimators and models and the Amazon SageMaker open-source TensorFlow containers make writing a TensorFlow script and running it in Amazon SageMaker easier.
In this workshop, you will port a working TensorFlow script to run on SageMaker and utilize some of the features available for TensorFlow in SageMaker.
We will go over:
- Porting a TensorFlow script to run in SageMaker using SageMaker script mode.
- Running a distributed training job.
- Deploying your trained model on Amazon SageMaker.
