Exploring AWS services for ML

AWS has three broad categories of ML and AI services, as illustrated in the following diagram (note that only a small sample of AI and ML services are included in this diagram, due to space constraints):

In the preceding diagram, we can see a subset of the services that AWS offers in each category – Artificial Intelligence Services, Machine Learning Services, and Machine Learning Frameworks and Infrastructure.

At the ML framework and infrastructure level, AWS provides Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) and prebuilt Docker containers that have popular deep learning ML frameworks pre-installed and optimized for the AWS environment. While these are useful for advanced use cases that require custom ML environments, these use cases are beyond the scope of this book.

For more information on these ML frameworks, refer to the AWS documentation on AWS Deep Learning AMIs (https://aws.amazon.com/machine...
