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.

Alternative ways to deploy an Azure ML workspace

There are additional ways in which you can deploy an Azure ML workspace:

  • Create an ARM template. This is the Azure-native way of describing resources that you want to deploy in the form of a JSON file. An example of an ARM template for the Azure ML workspace can be found at https://bit.ly/dp100-azureml-arm.

    The command to deploy such a template from the Azure CLI is as follows:

    az deployment group create --name packt-deployment --resource-group packt-azureml-rg --template-uri https://bit.ly/dp100-azureml-arm --parameters workspaceName=packt-learning-arm-mlw location=westeurope

    You can also find an ARM template if you select the Download a template for automation link that appears on the left-hand side of the Create button in the last step of the Azure portal resource creation wizard.

  • Through the Azure ML Python SDK, which you will learn about in Chapter 7, The Azure ML Python.
  • Through the Azure management REST API as described...
