Dear reader. Thank you for purchasing this book! Years ago, I relied on "cookbooks" to help me gain the hands-on skills needed to get the job done using tech frameworks, libraries, tools, and services. It is my turn to give back to the tech community and provide you a "cookbook" with practical and complete solutions to help you in your machine learning journey. I hope this book helps you achieve your goals and dreams as well.

First, I would like to acknowledge Sunith Shetty, Gebin George, Aparna Nair, Nazia Shaikh, Arjun Varma, Shifa Ansari, and everyone from the Packt team for making this book a success. I would also like to thank Raphael Jambalos, Mark Jimenez, and Lauren Yu for their patient support in helping significantly improve the quality of this book. Writing a book is a team game and I am grateful to everyone who has contributed to this book.

Next, I would also like to thank Ross Barich, Julien Simon, Cameron Peron, and everyone from the AWS team for the advice and support that helped me write this book. I would also like to give my sincere thanks to the AWS teams who have built, developed, and managed the different features and capabilities of Amazon SageMaker. I would also like to acknowledge and thank Raphael Quisumbing and the leaders of AWS User Group Philippines. Years ago, it was just me, Raphael Quisumbing, Diwa del Mundo, and Mike Rayco, leading and organizing these tech events. Now, the user group has grown significantly bigger and we now have more leaders and contributors trying to make the tech world a better place.

I would like to give my sincere thanks to my parents and my sister for their never-ending love and support. At the same time, I would like to thank my relatives, friends, and colleagues at work. I would not be able to list all your names here but this acknowledgment section would not be complete without giving credit to the support and advice you all have given me throughout the years.

Finally, I want to dedicate this book to Sophie Soliven, who has been very supportive in my career choices and decisions. It all started with the "commute adventure" years ago and we did not expect that to become a lifelong journey.
