Machine Learning at Scale

In this course, you will gain theoretical and practical knowledge of Apache Spark’s architecture and its application to machine learning workloads within Databricks. You will learn when to use Spark for data preparation, model training, and deployment, while also gaining hands-on experience with Spark ML and pandas APIs on Spark. This course will introduce you to advanced concepts like hyperparameter tuning and scaling Optuna with Spark. This course will use features and concepts introduced in the associate course such as MLflow and Unity Catalog for comprehensive model packaging and governance. 


Note:

1. This course is the first in the series of Advanced Machine Learning.

2. For SCORM lecture files, please ensure that you close the SCORM window after completing the content. Do not click the ‘Next Lesson’ button, as doing so may prevent the SCORM module from being marked as complete.

Automated Deployment with Declarative Automation Bundles - Mandarin Chinese

本课程全面介绍了 DevOps 原则及其在 Databricks 项目中的应用。课程首先概述了核心 DevOps、DataOps、持续集成(CI)、持续部署(CD)和测试的基本概念,并探讨了如何将这些原则应用于数据工程管道。

课程随后聚焦于 CI/CD 流程中的持续部署,介绍用于项目部署的工具,包括 Databricks REST API、SDK 和 CLI。您将了解声明式自动化包(DAB)及其在 CI/CD 流程中的作用,深入学习其关键组件、文件夹结构,以及它们如何简化在 Databricks 中跨各种目标环境的部署流程。您还将学习如何使用 Databricks CLI 为多个具有不同配置的环境添加变量、修改、验证、部署和执行声明式自动化包。

最后,课程介绍如何将 Visual Studio Code 作为交互式开发环境(IDE),用于在本地构建、测试和部署声明式自动化包,从而优化开发流程。课程最后介绍如何使用 GitHub Actions 自动化部署管道,以增强声明式自动化包的 CI/CD 工作流。

完成本课程后,您将具备使用声明式自动化包自动化 Databricks 项目部署的能力,并能够通过 DevOps 实践提升工作效率。
