Azure Data Scientist Associate Certification Guide

By: Andreas Botsikas, Michael Hlobil

Overview of this book

The Azure Data Scientist Associate Certification Guide helps you acquire practical knowledge for machine learning experimentation on Azure. It covers everything you need to pass the DP-100 exam and become a certified Azure Data Scientist Associate. Starting with an introduction to data science, you'll learn the terminology that will be used throughout the book and then move on to the Azure Machine Learning (Azure ML) workspace. You'll discover the studio interface and manage various components, such as data stores and compute clusters. Next, the book focuses on no-code and low-code experimentation, and shows you how to use the Automated ML wizard to locate and deploy optimal models for your dataset. You'll also learn how to run end-to-end data science experiments using the designer provided in Azure ML Studio. You'll then explore the Azure ML Software Development Kit (SDK) for Python and advance to creating experiments and publishing models using code. The book also guides you in optimizing your model's hyperparameters using Hyperdrive before demonstrating how to use responsible AI tools to interpret and debug your models. Once you have a trained model, you'll learn to operationalize it for batch or real-time inferences and monitor it in production. By the end of this Azure certification study guide, you'll have gained the knowledge and the practical skills required to pass the DP-100 exam.

Working with the AzureML CLI extension

In Chapter 2, Deploying Azure Machine Learning Workspace Resources, you learned how to use the Azure CLI and how to install the azure-cli-ml extension. This extension uses the Python SDK you saw in this chapter to perform various operations. To work with the Azure CLI, you can do one of the following:

  1. Open the cloud shell in the Azure portal, as you did in Chapter 2, Deploying Azure Machine Learning Workspace Resources.
  2. Open a terminal in the compute instance you have been working on in this chapter.
  3. Use the shell assignment feature of Jupyter notebooks, which allows you to execute commands using the underlying shell by using an exclamation mark (!), also known as bang.

In this section, you will use the notebook, something that will allow you to store the steps and repeat them if you need them in the future:

  1. The first thing you will need to do is install the azure-cli-ml extension in the Azure CLI of the compute...
