What's Ahead?

In this lesson, you're going to get familiar with what's meant by machine learning deployment . Then in the upcoming lessons, you will put these ideas to practice by using Amazon's SageMaker . SageMaker is just one method for deploying machine learning models.

Specifically in this lesson, we will look at answering the following questions:

  1. What's the machine learning workflow ?

  2. How does deployment fit into the machine learning workflow ?

  3. What is cloud computing ?

  4. Why would we use cloud computing for deploying machine learning models?

  5. Why isn't deployment a part of many machine learning curriculums?

  6. What does it mean for a model to be deployed ?

  7. What are the essential characteristics associated with the code of deployed models ?

  8. What are different cloud computing platforms we might use to deploy our machine learning models?

At the end of this lesson, you'll understand the broader idea of machine learning deployment . Then Sean will be guiding you through using SageMaker to deploy your own machine learning models. This is a lot to cover, but by the end you will have a general idea of all the concepts related to deploying machine learning models into real world production systems .
