Amazon SageMaker Pipelines

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a fully managed container orchestration service. Customers such as Duolingo, Samsung, GE, and Cook Pad use ECS to run their most sensitive and mission-critical applications because of its security, reliability, and scalability. ECS is a great choice to run containers for several reasons. First, you can choose to run your ECS clusters using AWS Fargate, which is serverless compute for containers. Fargate removes the need to provision and manage servers, lets you specify and pay for resources per application, and improves security through application isolation by design. Second, ECS is used extensively within Amazon to power services such as Amazon SageMaker, AWS Batch, Amazon Lex, and Amazon.com’s recommendation engine, ensuring ECS is tested extensively for security, reliability, and availability.

Amazon SageMaker provides all the tools and libraries you need to build ML models, the process of iteratively trying different algorithms and evaluating their accuracy to find the best one for your use case. In Amazon SageMaker you can pick different algorithms, including over 15 that are built-in and optimized for SageMaker, and use over 150 pre-built models from popular model zoos available with a few clicks. SageMaker also offers a variety of model-building tools including Amazon SageMaker Studio Notebooks and RStudio where you can run ML models on a small scale to see results and view reports on their performance so you can come up with high-quality working prototypes. Amazon SageMaker Studio Notebooks help you build ML models faster and collaborate with your team. Amazon SageMaker Studio notebooks provide one-click Jupyter notebooks that you can start working within seconds. Amazon SageMaker also enables one-click sharing of notebooks.
