Mastering DataOps: Orchestrating AWS Glue Workflows

The implemented stages of ingestion, preprocessing, EDA, and feature engineering have transitioned to automation and monitoring, forming a cohesive DataOps layer. By introducing orchestration, the independent Glue jobs become an automated, reliable workflow. Testing confirmed successful execution, paving the way for regular automations to enhance operations and insights from data.

Training and Evaluating ML Models with AWS Glue

This post details the development of a Machine Learning Pipeline for demand forecasting. Utilizing AWS Glue and PySpark, it covers training and evaluating Linear Regression and Random Forest models using an engineered feature dataset. Results show Random Forest slightly outperforms Linear Regression, demonstrating effective model stability and reliability for deployment.

Mastering Feature Engineering for Machine Learning

The Feature Engineering stage follows Exploratory Data Analysis, preparing the dataset for machine learning. It generates temporal and statistical features, encodes categorical identifiers, and ensures schema consistency. Implemented in AWS Glue, it enables reproducibility and scalability for model training, enhancing forecasting accuracy by incorporating lag and rolling average features.

Enhancing Your ETL Pipeline with AWS Glue and PySpark

The post details enhancements made to a serverless ETL pipeline using AWS Glue and PySpark for retail sales data. Improvements include explicit column type conversions, missing value imputation, normalization of sales data, and integration of logging for observability. These changes aim to create a production-ready, machine-learning-friendly preprocessing layer for effective data analysis.

Building an ETL Pipeline for Retail Demand Data

This project aims to develop a demand forecasting solution for retail using historical sales data from Kaggle. A data pipeline employing AWS Glue and PySpark will preprocess the data by cleaning and splitting it into training and testing sets. The objective is to maximize inventory management and customer satisfaction.

AWS EC2 Setup for GPU CUDA Programming

Last weekend, I explored GPU CUDA programming using AWS. Despite initial service quota issues, I successfully launched an EC2 instance equipped with an NVIDIA GPU. After setting up the environment, I compiled and ran a CUDA program, achieving a remarkable speedup of 151 times faster on the GPU compared to the CPU.

How to Configure AWS EC2 with NVIDIA GPU for CUDA Development

The author explores CUDA programming on AWS using an NVIDIA GPU, facing vCPU quota limitations that prevent launching an EC2 instance. After diagnosing the issue, they submitted a request for a quota increase through the Service Quotas console. The experience highlights the importance of checking AWS service limits when setting up GPU instances.
