Overview
Kubeflow is a framework for running Machine Learning workloads on Kubernetes. TensorFlow is one of the most popular machine learning libraries. Kubernetes is an orchestration platform for managing containerized applications.
This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at engineers who wish to deploy Machine Learning workloads to Azure cloud.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Install and configure Kubernetes, Kubeflow and other needed software on Azure.
- Use Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) to simplify the work of initializing a Kubernetes cluster on Azure.
- Create and deploy a Kubernetes pipeline for automating and managing ML models in production.
- Train and deploy TensorFlow ML models across multiple GPUs and machines running in parallel.
- Leverage other AWS managed services to extend an ML application.
Format of the Course
- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Lots of exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
