What you'll learn

  • Learn how to deploy deep learning in the cloud

Description

Alex Jaimes explains how the cloud can be used effectively to deploy deep learning and the factors that allow you to do so cost effectively. For example, in many situations, the distributed nature of cloud infrastructure can be leveraged to scale Ml/DL applications using CPUs. Along the way, Alex shares examples of when and how to deploy deep learning in the cloud as well as the corresponding benefits, challenges, and opportunities.
