Amazon makes its machine learning courses available for free

Amazon announced today that it’s making its range of machine learning courses available to all developers signed up to its AWS platform for free. This program was previously available only to Amazon employees, but anyone can now take advantage of it at no charge by signing up to Amazon Web Services’ free plan. It includes 30 courses in total, with over 45 hours of course material, videos, and lab tests.

The company says its content addresses beginners, advanced developers, and everyone in between. The company is targeting four groups with this program:developers, data scientists, data platform engineers, and business professionals. Amazon said the course starts with fundamental concepts, and builds on those through real-world examples.

Some of the examples include predicting gift wrapping eligibility for products in a store, optimizing delivery routes, or predicting entertainment award nominations using data from IMDb’s database of information about movies.

When I look back on the history of AWS and think about the launches that truly signify the fundamentally dynamic, on-demand nature of the cloud, two stand out in my memory: the launch of Amazon EC2 in 2006 and the concurrent launch of CloudWatch Metrics, Auto Scaling, and Elastic Load Balancing in 2009. The first launch provided access to compute power; the second made it possible to use that access to rapidly respond to changes in demand. We have added a multitude of features to all of these services since then, but as far as I am concerned they are still central and fundamental!
