Keras to Kubernetes: The Journey of a Machine Learning Model to Production

Description

From the Back Cover LEARN HOW TO BUILD A KERAS MODEL TO SCALE AND DEPLOY ON A KUBERNETES CLUSTER Artificial Intelligence (AI) has, in one form or another, been in existence for over six decades. However, recent years have seen an enormous increase in the amount of collectable data and major advancements in algorithms and computer hardware. Within the realm of AI technology, Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) applications in particular have undergone significant growth. Keras, one of the most popular DL frameworks, can quickly describe a DL model, begin training it on data, and generate more data by modifying existing data. Kubernetes is an application engine that manages applications packaged as Containers, handling all the infrastructure constraints such as scaling, fail-over, and load balancing. With the power, flexibility, and virtually limitless applications of Keras and Kubernetes comes a caveat--they can be challenging to develop and deploy effectively without proper guidance. Keras to Kubernetes: The Journey Of A Machine Learning Model To Production offers step-by-step instructions on how to build a Keras model to scale and deploy on a Kubernetes cluster. This timely and accessible guide takes readers through the entire model-to-production process, covering topics such as model serving, scaling, load balancing, API development, Algorithm-as-a-Service (AaaS), and more. Real-world examples help readers build a Keras model for detecting logos in images, package it as a web application container, and deploy it at scale on a Kubernetes cluster. A much-needed resource for Keras and Kubernetes, this book: Offers hands-on examples to use Keras and Kubernetes to deploy Machine Learning Presents new ways to collect and manage data Includes overviews of various AI learning models Enables readers to re-use examples without modification to deploy models Provides clear and easy-to-follow directions Written by a respected leader in Artificial Intelligence engineering, Keras to Kubernetes: The Journey Of A Machine Learning Model To Production is an ideal book for anyone seeking to learn and apply Machine Learning to their own projects.
