Who Should Attend

  • Participants are required to attend AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials prior to attending this course.
  • Basic knowledge of Python programming language
  • Basic understanding of AWS Cloud infrastructure (Amazon S3 and Amazon CloudWatch)
  • Basic understanding of working in a Jupyter notebook environment

Course Overview

This course explores how to use the machine learning (ML) pipeline to solve a real business problem in a project-based learning environment. Students will learn about each phase of the pipeline from instructor presentations and demonstrations. They will then apply that knowledge to complete a project solving one of three business problems: fraud detection, recommendation engines, or flight delays. By the end of the course, students will have successfully built, trained, evaluated, tuned, and deployed an ML model using Amazon SageMaker that solves their selected business problem.
