Amazon SageMaker Studio helps data scientists prepare, build, train, deploy, and monitor machine learning (ML) models quickly. It does this by bringing together a broad set of capabilities purpose-built for ML. This course prepares experienced data scientists to use the tools that are a part of SageMaker Studio, including Amazon CodeWhisperer and Amazon CodeGuru Security scan extensions, to improve productivity at every step of the ML lifecycle.

• Course level: Advanced
