Welcome to Week 2 of the AWS: Model Training, Optimization & Deployment course. This week, you'll explore the broader capabilities of Amazon SageMaker and how it supports the full machine learning lifecycle. We’ll begin with an introduction and demo of SageMaker, highlighting its core services and development environment. You’ll then take a deeper dive into SageMaker Data Wrangler for efficient data preparation, followed by a detailed walkthrough of the SageMaker Feature Store, which enables consistent feature reuse across training and inference. As we move forward, you'll learn how to monitor model performance using SageMaker Model Monitor, helping ensure reliability and detect data drift in production. We’ll wrap up the week by using SageMaker JumpStart to quickly deploy pre-built models and solution templates, accelerating your ML experimentation and deployment process.

Welcome to Week 3 of the AWS: End-to-End ML Workflows with SageMaker, Storage & Security course. This week, you'll focus on securing and governing your machine learning workloads on AWS. We’ll start by exploring AWS Key Management Service (KMS) and AWS Secrets Manager, which help you securely store, manage, and encrypt sensitive data such as API keys and credentials. Next, we’ll cover AWS WAF and AWS Shield, two essential services for protecting ML applications from web threats and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. You’ll also learn how to use Amazon Macie to detect and protect sensitive data within S3 buckets, ensuring compliance with data privacy standards. We’ll wrap up the week with AWS Trusted Advisor, a powerful tool that provides real-time recommendations to improve security, performance, and fault tolerance across your AWS environment—enabling you to maintain a secure and cost-efficient ML infrastructure.

Welcome to Week 4 of the AWS: End-to-End ML Workflows with SageMaker, Storage & Security course. This week, you’ll explore tools that help you monitor, visualize, and optimize your machine learning workflows in production. We’ll begin with Amazon QuickSight, where you’ll learn how to analyze and visualize ML outputs for better business insights. You’ll then dive into SageMaker Model Monitor to detect anomalies in deployed models and ensure ongoing performance. To strengthen observability, you’ll work with AWS X-Ray and CloudWatch Logs to trace model behavior, debug issues, and gain insights into operational metrics. We’ll wrap up by using AWS Cost Explorer and Trusted Advisor to monitor usage and cost, and explore SageMaker Inference Recommender to choose optimal instance types for model deployment—ensuring cost-effective and high-performance inference at scale.
