Integrating ML models and endpoints with Azure services
Relying on the Azure Machine Learning service either for experimentation, performing end-to-end training, or simply registering your trained models and environments brings you a ton of value. In Chapter 14, Model Deployment, Endpoints, and Operations, we covered two main scenarios, a real-time scoring web service through automated deployments and batch scoring through a deployed pipeline. While these two use cases are quite different in requirement and deployment types, they show what is possible once you have a trained model and packaged environment stored in Azure Machine Learning. In this section, we will discuss how to use and integrate these models or their endpoints in other Azure services.
In many scenarios, abstracting your batch-scoring pipeline from the actual data processing pipeline to separate concerns and responsibilities makes a lot of sense. However, sometimes your scoring should happen directly during the data...
