43.9. Data Science in the cloud#

43.9.1. 1. What is the cloud?#

The Cloud, or Cloud Computing, is the delivery of a wide range of pay-as-you-go computing services hosted on infrastructure over the internet. Services include solutions such as storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligent services.

  • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

  • Platform as a Service (PaaS)

  • Software as a Service (SaaS)

  • Public cloud

  • Private cloud

  • Hybrid cloud

43.9.2. 2. Why choose the cloud for Data Science?#

  • Innovation

  • Flexibility

  • Budget

  • Scalability

  • Productivity

  • Reliability

  • Security

These are some of the most common reasons why people choose to use Cloud services.

  • Storing large amounts of data

  • Performing Data Integration

  • Processing data

  • Using data analytics services

  • Using Machine Learning and data intelligence services

43.9.3. 3. The “low code/no code” way#


Low code/no code tools is the cloud-based platform for building and operating Machine Learning solutions. It includes a wide range of features and capabilities that help data scientists prepare data, train models, publish predictive services, and monitor their usage.

Most importantly, it helps them to increase their efficiency by automating many of the time-consuming tasks associated with training models; and it enables them to use cloud-based compute resources that scale effectively, to handle large volumes of data while incurring costs only when actually used.

43.9.4. 4. Low code/no code Machine Learning#

The Low code/No code way is easier to start with as it involves interacting with a GUI (Graphical User Interface), with no prior knowledge of code required.

  • Low code/no code training of a model

  • Low code/no code training with AutoML

  • Low code/no code model deployment and endpoint consumption
