Amazon SageMaker Studio for Data Scientists (MLASMS)

Amazon SageMaker Studio helps data scientists prepare, build, train, deploy, and monitor machine learning (ML) models quickly.

It does this by bringing together a broad set of capabilities purpose-built for ML.

This course prepares experienced data scientists to use the tools that are a part of SageMaker Studio, including Amazon CodeWhisperer and Amazon CodeGuru Security scan extensions, to improve productivity at every step of the ML lifecycle.

• Course level: Advanced
• Duration: 3 days

Activities

This course includes presentations, hands-on labs, demonstrations, discussions, and a capstone project

We recommend that all attendees of this course have:

• Experience using ML frameworks
• Python programming experience
• At least 1 year of experience as a data scientist responsible for training, tuning, and deploying models
• AWS Technical Essentials digital or classroom training 

In this course, you will learn to:

• Accelerate the process to prepare, build, train, deploy, and monitor ML solutions using Amazon SageMaker Studio
