Variation points – alternatives and extensions to the fundamental workflow
The fundamental workflow we developed here is a simple example. For each step we performed, there are multiple alternatives and extensions to what has been shown. All of Part 2:, Building State-of-the-Art Models at Scale, is dedicated to understanding these alternatives and elaborations and to putting them together to build superior models at scale.
Let's first touch on some key variation points here.
Launching an H2O cluster using the Enterprise Steam API versus the UI (step 1)
In our example, we used the convenience of the Enterprise Steam UI to configure and launch an H2O cluster. Alternatively, we could have used the Steam API from our IDE to do so. See the full H2O Enterprise Steam API documentation at https://docs.h2o.ai/enterprise-steam/latest-stable/docs/python-docs/index.html for the Python API and https://docs.h2o.ai/enterprise-steam/latest-stable/docs/r-docs/index.html for the...
