5.5 Tracking Artifacts and Managing Models in SageMaker

  • Importance of Tracking Artifacts:

    • To meet regulatory and control requirements, it is essential to track all the artifacts used in model production.

    • This includes code, datasets, container images, model versions, and endpoints.


  • Tracking Artifacts:

    • Code Repositories: Use platforms like GitHub or AWS CodeCommit to version source code. This includes training code, inference code, experiments, and notebooks.

    • Datasets: Store datasets in Amazon S3 with partitioned prefixes to uniquely identify training data.

    • Container Images: Store in Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR), with unique IDs and tags.

    • Training Jobs: SageMaker automatically tracks metadata of each training job, including hyperparameters and model output identifiers.

    • Model Versions: Use SageMaker Model Registry to store and manage different model versions.

    • Endpoints: SageMaker endpoints have unique identifiers and associated metadata.


  • SageMaker Model Registry:

    • Catalogs models in groups, tracking versions and metadata such as training metrics.

    • Models can be deployed directly from the registry, and the model’s status (e.g., approved, rejected) is tracked.

  • Model Cards:

    • Used to document and share essential model details, such as intended uses, risk ratings, training, and evaluation results.

    • Model cards can be exported to PDF for sharing with stakeholders.

  • ML Lineage Tracking:

    • Amazon SageMaker ML Lineage Tracking automatically tracks the end-to-end machine learning workflow.

    • It creates a graphical representation of the workflow and stores trial components, experiments, and job-related data.

    • You can run queries to discover relationships between entities, such as which models use specific datasets.

  • Feature Store:

    • Amazon SageMaker Feature Store centralizes features and metadata, making it easier to reuse them across models.

    • It simplifies feature creation, sharing, and management, reducing repetitive tasks.

    • Supports point-in-time queries to retrieve feature states at a specific historical time.

  • Model Dashboard:

    • A centralized portal in SageMaker Console to view, search, and manage all models in the account.

    • Integrates information from Model Monitor, Model Cards, and visualizes workflow lineage.

    • Tracks model performance on endpoints and batch transform jobs.

    • Monitors data quality, model quality, bias, and explainability using configurable thresholds.

    • Quickly identifies models that need attention based on monitoring results.
