Distributed Data Parallel Training with TensorFlow and Amazon SageMaker Distributed Training Library

John Patrick Laurel2024-01-22T00:58:08+00:00

Introduction In the realm of machine learning, the ability to train models effectively and efficiently stands as a cornerstone of success. As datasets grow exponentially and models become more complex, traditional single-node training methods increasingly fall short. This is where distributed training enters the picture, offering a scalable solution to this growing challenge. Distributed Training Overview Distributed training is a technique used to train machine learning models on large datasets more efficiently. By splitting the workload across multiple compute nodes, it significantly reduces training time. There are two main strategies in distributed training: data parallelism, where the dataset is partitioned [...]

We can almost do everything now on the website. Selling clothes, ordering food, video posting, doing business meetings, online classes, and others, you name it. Running a website is very awesome and at the same time hard, especially when bad actors want to mess with it. One sneaky way is an "HTTP Flood Attack," where your website gets bombarded with too many requests. This can slow down or even break your site. Detecting and responding to such attacks promptly is crucial for maintaining the availability and performance of your applications. In this blog post, we'll explore how to implement a simple [...]

Building a Deployment Pipeline for a React Application with AWS CodePipeline

Kaye Alvarado2024-01-07T02:48:10+00:00

This is the second part of a series of blogs about the platform management of a React Application infrastructure by adding a continuous deployment component to the earlier infrastructure. In an earlier article, I wrote about how a private react application infrastructure can be deployed with Terraform code. Now, we will explore this further by building a deployment pipeline using AWS CodePipeline. Let's assume that the source code of the React web application is hosted on GitHub. Using the GitHub connections feature of AWS CodePipeline, we can authorize the third-party provider to work with AWS resources to establish integration between [...]
