This video from AWS re:Invent 2023 explores optimizing performance for machine learning training on Amazon S3. The speakers discuss why S3 is ideal for ML training, covering its scalability, cost optimization features, and high throughput capabilities. They introduce new features like S3 Express One Zone for low-latency access and client-side optimizations. The session covers best practices for using S3 with managed services like SageMaker and self-managed infrastructures. Key topics include data access patterns, using Mountpoint for Amazon S3 as a file client, the new S3 connector for PyTorch, and improvements to AWS SDKs for better S3 performance in ML workloads. The presenters emphasize making S3 simple to use while delivering high performance for machine learning use cases.
