Benchmarking binary classification results in Elastic machine learning

Binary classification aims to separate elements of a given dataset into two groups on the basis of some learned classification rule. It has extensive applications from security analytics, fraud detection, malware identification, and much more. Being a supervised machine learning method, binary classification relies on the presence of labeled training data that can be used as examples from which a model can learn what separates the classes.

Monitoring Amazon EKS logs and metrics with the Elastic Stack

To achieve unified observability, we need to gather all of the logs, metrics, and application traces from an environment. Storing them in a single datastore drastically increases our visibility, allowing us to monitor other distributed environments as well. In this blog, we will walk through one way to set up observability of your Kubernetes environment using the Elastic Stack — giving your team insight into the metrics and performance of your deployment.

You could create the database with docker, or use an in-memory compatible one, but if you are writing unit tests that can be easily parallelized this will become quite uncomfortable.
