Cloud Computing, AI & ML – Complete Tutorial
1. Introduction to Cloud Computing, AI & ML
What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing delivers computing services (servers, storage, databases, networking, AI, analytics) over the Internet ("the cloud").
✅ Key Benefits:
✔ Scalability (grow as needed)
✔ Cost-Efficiency (pay-as-you-go)
✔ Global Availability (access from anywhere)
What is AI & Machine Learning (ML)?
Artificial Intelligence (AI): Machines mimicking human intelligence.
Machine Learning (ML): AI subset where machines learn from data without explicit programming.
✅ Key Applications:
✔ AI: Chatbots, self-driving cars, recommendation systems.
✔ ML: Fraud detection, medical diagnosis, stock predictions.
2. Cloud Computing Basics
Cloud Service Models
| Service Model | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) | Provides virtualized computing resources (servers, storage) | AWS EC2, Azure VMs |
| PaaS (Platform as a Service) | Provides a platform for app development & deployment | Google App Engine, Heroku |
| SaaS (Software as a Service) | Delivers software applications over the Internet | Gmail, Slack, Zoom |
Cloud Deployment Models
Public Cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP)
Private Cloud (On-premises cloud)
Hybrid Cloud (Mix of public & private)
Getting Started with AWS (Example)
Sign up for AWS Free Tier (aws.amazon.com)
Launch an EC2 Instance (Virtual Server)
Choose OS (Ubuntu, Windows)
Select instance type (t2.micro for free tier)
Configure security groups (allow SSH/HTTP)
Connect via SSH
ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<public-ip>
3. Machine Learning (ML) Fundamentals
Types of Machine Learning
| Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Supervised Learning | Learns from labeled data (input-output pairs) | Spam detection |
| Unsupervised Learning | Finds patterns in unlabeled data | Customer segmentation |
| Reinforcement Learning | Learns by trial & error (rewards/punishments) | Game AI (AlphaGo) |
Popular ML Algorithms
Regression: Predicts continuous values (e.g., house prices)
Classification: Categorizes data (e.g., spam vs. not spam)
Clustering: Groups similar data (e.g., customer segments)
ML Workflow
Data Collection (Kaggle, APIs, databases)
Data Preprocessing (cleaning, normalization)
Model Training (using algorithms like Linear Regression, Decision Trees)
Evaluation (accuracy, precision, recall)
Deployment (cloud, edge devices)
4. AI & ML on the Cloud
Why Use Cloud for AI/ML?
✔ Access to GPUs/TPUs (faster training)
✔ Managed ML Services (no infrastructure setup)
✔ Scalability (handle large datasets)
Top Cloud AI/ML Services
| Cloud Provider | AI/ML Service | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| AWS | SageMaker | Build, train, deploy ML models |
| Google Cloud | Vertex AI | End-to-end ML pipeline |
| Microsoft Azure | Azure ML | Drag-and-drop ML studio |
Example: Deploying an ML Model on AWS SageMaker
Upload dataset to S3
import boto3 s3 = boto3.client('s3') s3.upload_file('data.csv', 'my-bucket', 'data.csv')
Train a Model
from sagemaker import LinearLearner estimator = LinearLearner(role='SageMakerRole', instance_count=1, instance_type='ml.m4.xlarge') estimator.fit({'train': 's3://my-bucket/data.csv'})
Deploy for Predictions
predictor = estimator.deploy(initial_instance_count=1, instance_type='ml.t2.medium') result = predictor.predict([1.5, 3.2, 5.1]) # Example input
5. AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS)
Cloud providers offer pre-trained AI models via APIs:
| Service | Function | Example |
|---|---|---|
| AWS Rekognition | Image & video analysis | Face detection |
| Google Vision AI | OCR, object detection | Text extraction |
| Azure Cognitive Services | Speech, language, vision | Sentiment analysis |
Example: Using AWS Rekognition (Python)
import boto3 client = boto3.client('rekognition') response = client.detect_labels( Image={'S3Object': {'Bucket': 'my-bucket', 'Name': 'photo.jpg'}} ) print(response['Labels']) # Outputs detected objects
6. Future Trends
🚀 AI at the Edge (ML on IoT devices)
🚀 AutoML (automated machine learning)
🚀 Quantum Computing + AI (faster computations)
7. Hands-On Project: Cloud-Based Sentiment Analysis
Step 1: Set Up Google Cloud Natural Language API
Enable Google Cloud Natural Language API.
Install the client library:
pip install google-cloud-language
Run sentiment analysis:
from google.cloud import language_v1 client = language_v1.LanguageServiceClient() text = "I love cloud computing and AI!" document = language_v1.Document(content=text, type_=language_v1.Document.Type.PLAIN_TEXT) sentiment = client.analyze_sentiment(request={'document': document}).document_sentiment print(f"Sentiment: {sentiment.score} (Magnitude: {sentiment.magnitude})")
Step 2: Deploy as a Cloud Function
Go to Google Cloud Functions.
Deploy the Python code as an HTTP-triggered function.
Call it via a REST API.
Conclusion
| Technology | Key Takeaway |
|---|---|
| Cloud Computing | Provides scalable, cost-effective infrastructure for AI/ML |
| AI/ML | Enables smart applications via data-driven learning |
| Cloud AI Services | Simplifies AI deployment with pre-built models |
