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.

Deploying Azure ML through the portal

In this section, you are going to deploy an Azure ML workspace through the Azure portal wizard. First, navigate to the Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com.

There are a couple of ways in which you can initiate the creation of an Azure ML workspace wizard. The following are the three most popular ones:

  • From the home page of the Azure portal, you can select Create a resource from either the top of the page underneath the Azure services label or the Azure portal menu in the upper-left corner:

This approach is the most generic one and will ask you to search for the service you want to create. Search for machine learning and select the first option from the Marketplace search results that are provided by Microsoft:
