Book Description

Modern AI systems increasingly leverage large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, and AI agents to power generative AI applications in the cloud. As organizations operationalize these systems at scale, there is a growing need for engineers with strong machine learning engineering expertise. To stay ahead in this rapidly evolving field, you need a deep understanding of AI and ML concepts as well as, practical, hands-on experience with the platforms and tools used to build and operate production-grade AI systems.

Machine Learning Engineering on AWS is a practical guide that shows you how to use AWS services such as Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker AI to fine-tune, evaluate, and deploy LLMs and generative AI systems. You'll learn how to develop RAG-powered systems, build and deploy AI agents using Bedrock AgentCore and Strands Agents, evaluate models using LLM-as-a-judge techniques, and automate LLMOps pipelines using SageMaker Pipelines. The book also covers best practices for building scalable, secure, and production-ready GenAI systems.

AWS AI hero Joshua Arvin Lat equips you with the skills and practical knowledge to handle a wide variety of ML engineering requirements, helping you design, operationalize, and secure generative AI systems and AI agents on AWS with confidence.
