The Weather Company improves MLOps using Amazon SageMaker, AWS CloudFormation, and Amazon CloudWatch | AWS Machine Learning Blog

The Evolution of MLOps Platforms

Industries are increasingly adopting machine learning technologies and the need for scalable machine learning operations (MLOps) platforms is becoming critical. Cloud-based integrated platforms, such as the ones provided by AWS, offer solutions that can scale with data science teams.

The Weather Company’s MLOps Transformation

The Weather Company enhanced its MLOps platform using services like Amazon SageMaker, AWS CloudFormation, and Amazon CloudWatch. By leveraging automation, detailed experiment tracking, and integrated pipelines, TWCo was able to significantly reduce infrastructure management time and model deployment time.

Challenges in Cloud-Based ML Workflows

The Weather Company faced challenges in transparency, monitoring, and collaboration in their existing cloud environment for ML workflows. They sought assistance from the AWS Machine Learning Solutions Lab to migrate their workflows to Amazon SageMaker and AWS Cloud, addressing these pain points.

Establishing Standardized ML Development Infrastructure

Through the use of Amazon SageMaker Projects and template-based approaches, organizations, like TWCo, can establish standardized and scalable infrastructures for ML development. This streamlines the process, reduces manual intervention, and speeds up the deployment process of ML pipelines.

Improving User Experiences with ML Models

TWCo used SageMaker, CloudWatch, CodePipeline, and CodeBuild to extend their data science capabilities and enhance user experiences. By creating predictive, privacy-friendly ML models, TWCo provided valuable insights into how weather conditions impact users’ daily planning and business operations.
