Abstract

Machine learning (ML) models integration within cloud computing environment can significantly improve the capabilities of predictive analytics in all industries. In this research, we investigate the challenges and opportunities of gaining deployment of machine learning models within cloud environments, especially those relating to performance, scalability and cost efficiency. In this project we investigate several cloud deployment strategies — use of cloud services such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), and apply efficient resource management practices such as auto-scaling and model parallelism. The research features key components of which are to choose viable cloud computing platforms, to optimize machine learning models for cloud deployment, and to secure and guarantee the privacy of data in a cloud setting. A performance evaluation of trained and deployed a Random Forest Regressor model using the Yahoo Finance dataset based on metrics of accuracy, inference time, and cost. This study has yielded actionable insights on best practices for exploiting cloud based ML solutions for scalable and low cost predictive analytics and addressing ethical concerns of dealing with data privacy and model transparency. This work extends the body of research on cloud-based machine learning applications with important lessons for practitioners aiming to leverage ML driven applications in cloud environment.
