商品描述

Serverless computing is radically changing the way we build and deploy applications. With cloud providers running servers and managing machine resources, companies now can focus solely on the application’s business logic and functionality. This hands-on book shows experienced programmers how to build and deploy scalable machine learning and deep learning models using serverless architectures with Microsoft Azure.

You’ll learn step-by-step how to code machine learning into your projects using Python and pre-trained models that include tools such as image recognition, speech recognition, and classification. You’ll also examine issues around deployment and continuous delivery including scaling, security, and monitoring.

This book is divided into four parts:

  • Cloud-based development: learn the basics of serverless computing with machine learning, functions as a service (FaaS), and the use of APIs
  • Adding intelligence: create serverless applications using Azure Functions; learn how to use pre-built machine-learning and deep-learning models
  • Deployment and continuous delivery: get up to speed with Azure Kubernetes Service, as well as Azure Security Center, and Azure Monitoring
  • Application examples: deliver data at the edge, build conversational interfaces, and use convolutional neural networks for image classification

商品描述(中文翻譯)

無伺服器運算正在徹底改變我們建立和部署應用程式的方式。藉由雲端供應商負責運行伺服器和管理機器資源,公司現在可以專注於應用程式的商業邏輯和功能。這本實用書籍向有經驗的程式設計師展示如何使用 Microsoft Azure 的無伺服器架構來建立和部署可擴展的機器學習和深度學習模型。

您將逐步學習如何使用 Python 和包含圖像識別、語音識別和分類等工具的預訓練模型,將機器學習應用於您的專案中。您還將探討部署和持續交付的相關問題,包括擴展性、安全性和監控。

本書分為四個部分:

- 雲端開發:學習無伺服器運算和機器學習的基礎知識,以及函數即服務(FaaS)和使用 API 的方法。
- 添加智能:使用 Azure Functions 創建無伺服器應用程式;學習如何使用預建的機器學習和深度學習模型。
- 部署和持續交付:熟悉 Azure Kubernetes Service、Azure Security Center 和 Azure Monitoring。
- 應用程式範例:在邊緣傳遞資料,建立對話介面,並使用卷積神經網路進行圖像分類。
