Preparing the Amazon S3 bucket and the training dataset for the linear regression experiment

In this recipe, we will create an Amazon S3 bucket using the AWS CLI within the Terminal. This S3 bucket will contain the input and output files when we are performing the different recipes in this chapter. If this is your first time hearing about Amazon S3, it is an object storage service that helps users store their files and their data. In the recipes in this book, we will store and download different files, datasets, and logs in Amazon S3 while we are working on our ML experiments. The AWS Command-Line Interface (CLI), on the other hand, is a command-line utility that helps to control and manage multiple AWS services and resources. In this recipe, we will use it to create an Amazon S3 bucket with the aws s3 mb command in the Terminal.

Important note

Note that most of the recipes in this book will store and load files inside the S3 bucket we will create in this recipe. Inside this...
