Amazon SageMaker Studio for Data Scientists

This three-day, advanced-level course helps experienced data scientists build, train, and deploy ML models for any use case using fully managed infrastructure, tools, and workflows to reduce training time from hours to minutes with optimized infrastructure. The course includes presentations, demonstrations, discussions, and labs, and at the end of the course, you’ll practice building an end-to-end tabular data ML project using SageMaker Studio and the SageMaker Python SDK.
