Cloud services

As we saw earlier in the section on blogs, cloud providers with data science and machine learning offerings will have blogs on data science. Watching the cloud services space and what they are offering for data science and ML can be a good way to keep a close eye on where data science is going. Cloud providers develop new products to make data science and ML easier to do and will also roll out more advanced tools if they can. They usually have conferences, blogs, and other resources for sharing what they are doing. For example, the AWS re:Invent conference is usually published on YouTube and will cover upcoming AWS products and recent advances, including data science products.
