Title
AWS re:Invent 2022 - ML anywhere: Single pane of glass for cross-Region & on-premises AI/ML (PRT066)
Summary
- Domino Data Lab provides a unified platform for data science work, enabling self-service access to compute resources and data, collaboration tools, and model deployment as an API without the need for IT intervention.
- The platform also offers monitoring for deployed models to ensure they remain effective and valid.
- Cross-region and hybrid deployments are essential due to data sovereignty and privacy laws, cost considerations, and the need for reliable service availability.
- Domino's solution allows for seamless collaboration and governance across different regions while adhering to local data privacy laws.
- The platform operates through a control plane (central management) and data planes (local processing) in different AWS regions and on-premises setups.
- Domino integrates with various AWS services, runs natively on EKS, and can deploy models to SageMaker.
- The platform is available for purchase on the AWS Marketplace and can be easily set up in new regions using EKS and a helm chart.
Insights
- Domino Data Lab's platform addresses the challenges of international data privacy regulations by enabling localized data processing while maintaining centralized control.
- The platform's ability to integrate with AWS services and run on both AWS and on-premises infrastructure provides flexibility and scalability for global organizations.
- The use of EKS and helm charts for setting up new instances simplifies the expansion process for companies needing to deploy AI/ML workloads in multiple regions.
- The ability to deploy models as APIs and monitor their performance reduces the operational burden on data scientists and IT teams, allowing for a focus on innovation and development.
- The platform's design for collaboration and governance helps ensure that data access complies with local regulations, which is crucial for multinational companies.
- Domino's approach to machine learning operations (MLOps) emphasizes cost efficiency by allowing data scientists to choose the appropriate compute resources for their tasks, potentially reducing unnecessary expenses.
