Very good course for anyone wanting to learn about Amazon Sagemaker and more generally Machine Learning. Dr. Ahmed Ryan has taken a difficult topic and brought it within the reach of everyone. Again, many thanks to Dr. Ryan Ahmed for all his hard work, dedication and sincerity in putting together this course.
By Govardhan Reddy Busi Reddygari on 3/9/2024
This course is for absolute beginners. The instructor just did another data science course in the name of AWS SageMaker. A very high-level overview of SageMaker services is covered in 25% of the course and the remaining 75% of the course is a regular data science course. No discussion on step functions and CICD implementation (SageMaker Pipelines).
By Deepak Tripathy on 2/9/2024
Dr. Ahmed has to be one of the finest instructors on Udemy and this course is a proof of that. His mode of delivery is very hands-down and easy to understand for a beginner on AWS. I also liked the theory topics on ML covered in between which act as a refresher. It would be great if Dr. Ahmed can update the course a bit keeping in mind that AWS launched a new studio from Nov 2023 onward which will probably replace the old Studio Classic. For example- In the new Studio, JupyterLab is chargeable under AWS Free Tier and one should only use AWS Sagemaker Notebook Instances to use JupyterLab. It would have been great to see the application of Lambda in creating ML pipelines. Also the course doesn't have any topics dealing with Sagemaker Experiments and Pipelines.

Delivery is very engaging and contents are explained very well. Fantastic teacher Dr Ryan. This is one of the best course on Udemy and giving great return on the money.
By Luis Fernando Leal on 10/6/2023
The content is good and you have lots of hands-on exercises, unfortunately some topics that I was expecting are missing(including materials that are mentioned by the instructor in other lectures), some examples: sagemaker pipelines and wofkflows with step functions(the last lecture teaches you lambda functions but in general, not applied to ML workflows), sagemaker experiments and debugger, model monitoring, feature store, custom trianing using docker(I think what he calls "bring your own container")
By Duane Kuroda on 7/17/2023
Good course with very useful materials and mostly clear instructions. The video does not always match the UI in Amazon, which turns a few of the instructions into an exercise of finding workarounds to accomplish the stated tasks. If it weren't for these discrepancies, I would have given a 5. The instructor spends time reminding students to clean up and shut things down, which turns out is very appropriate given that Amazon does not explain well what is in the free tier when it comes to charging you for going outside the free tier. For example, for some free tier tasks, you cannot choose the instance resource, so Amazon will select a non-free tier then charge you. Just be prepared.

This is the best instructor I have ever met. he gives the best approach for the hardest topic by lower the learning curve. looking forward to any other course taught by Dr. Ryan.
By Dick Weisinger on 10/8/2022
I completed all 30 days of this training and really enjoyed it. Like the other reviewers, I thought Dr. Ryan Ahmed was great and that this course was engaging and very useful. I think Ryan's enthusiasm, order of presentation, review/explanation of tricky concepts, and choice of a curriculum with very meaningful example data sets were all excellent. For that, I give Dr. Ahmed five stars! But now, after completing this training, I have a mixed reaction to Sagemaker. There are a lot of things very cool about Sagemaker. For example, I liked the Autopilot/Predict feature and think that it's really powerful. But the big problem is that Sagemaker billing is very opaque. I was using the two-month free tier and accidentally ran into problems twice. The first time I didn't properly shut down DataWranger ($40+) and the second time I was billed for using an ml.r5.16xlarge instance ($10 -- $4.83/hour) which I don't know how I managed to accidentally select for something. The first time AWS waived the fees, but the second time they didn't. Another example is that shutting down the Jupyter notebook doesn't shut down the instance that it runs on, so if you miss that you accumulate charges too. AWS security is also very complex. IAM roles are super powerful but they are very difficult to use and seem to get in the way -- there are hundreds of different permissions. For example, I got stuck up with setting the role in the very last lecture when trying to create a Lambda function from Jupyter. For large companies, the AWS billing and cost structure may make sense, but there are many moving parts -- I think it is easy to accidentally rack up very large bills with AWS very quickly.

Buen curso, si embargo algunas partes son repetitivas, en vez de repetir tanto hubiese sido mejor hacer modelos distintos (redes neuronales, sistemas de recomendación). Además, el curso es mejorable si se tiene en cuenta que dentro de el proceso de creación de modelos se debe hacer selección de características antes de entrenar los modelos.
By David Scheeff on 6/17/2022
This is an excellent course! Thanks Dr. Ahmed! Here is some positive feedback from the halfway-through point: - audio is clear and Dr. Ahmed's does a good job enunciating - the course lectures are well organized and broken down into daily lectures that are easy to complete - we were immediately walked through creating an account and using AWS, which is great for exposure and learning - topics build on each other with a solid foundation in the beginning - I have not noticed any mistakes in the lectures - the course is well thought out and *throughly prepared* in such a way that I have been able to complete all learning opportunities and end-of-day capstone projects
