ML2P
ML2P -- or (ML)^2P -- is the minimal lovable machine-learning pipeline and a friendlier interface to AWS SageMaker.
Design goals:
- support the full machine learning lifecyle
- support custom feature engineering
- support building custom models in Python
- provide reproducible training and deployment of models
- support the use of customised base Docker images for training and deployment
Concretely it provides a command line interface and a Python library to assist with:
- S3:
- Managing training data
- SageMaker:
- Launching training jobs
- Deploying trained models
- Creating notebook instances
- On your local machine or in a SageMaker notebook:
- Downloading training datasets from S3
- Training models
- Loading trained models from SageMaker / S3
Installing
Install ML2P with:
$ pip install ml2p

Overview
ML2P helps manage a machine learning project. You'll define your project by writing a small YAML file named ml2p.yml:
project: "ml2p-tutorial" s3folder: "s3://your-s3-bucket/" models: bob: "models.RegressorModel" defaults: image: "XXXXX.dkr.ecr.REGION.amazonaws.com/your-docker-image:X.Y.Z" role: "arn:aws:iam::XXXXX:role/your-role" train: instance_type: "ml.m5.large" deploy: instance_type: "ml.t2.medium" record_invokes: true
This specifies:
- project: the name of your project
- s3folder: the S3 bucket that will hold the models and data sets for your project
- models: a list of model names and the Python classes that will be used to train the models and make predictions
- defaults:
- image: the docker image that your project will use for training and prediction
- role: the AWS role your project will run under
- train:
- instance_type: the AWS instance type that will be used when training your model
- deploy:
- instance_type: the AWS instance type that will be used when deploying your model
- record_invokes: whether to record prediction requests in S3
The name of your project functions as a prefix to the names of SageMaker training jobs, models and endpoints that ML2P creates (since these names are global within a SageMaker account).
ML2P also tags all of the AWS objects it creates with your project name.
