Overview of this book

Data scientists working on productionizing machine learning (ML) workloads face a breadth of challenges at every step owing to the countless factors involved in getting ML models deployed and running. This book offers solutions to common issues, detailed explanations of essential concepts, and step-by-step instructions to productionize ML workloads using the Azure Machine Learning service. You’ll see how data scientists and ML engineers working with Microsoft Azure can train and deploy ML models at scale by putting their knowledge to work with this practical guide. Throughout the book, you’ll learn how to train, register, and productionize ML models by making use of the power of the Azure Machine Learning service. You’ll get to grips with scoring models in real time and batch, explaining models to earn business trust, mitigating model bias, and developing solutions using an MLOps framework. By the end of this Azure Machine Learning book, you’ll be ready to build and deploy end-to-end ML solutions into a production system using the Azure Machine Learning service for real-time scenarios.

Technical requirements

To access your workspace, recall the steps from the previous chapter:

  1. Go to https://ml.azure.com.
  2. Select your workspace name.
  3. On the workspace user interface on the left side, click Compute.
  4. On the Compute screen, select your compute instance and select Start:
Figure 10.1 – Start compute

Figure 10.1 – Start compute

  1. Your compute instance status will change from Stopped to Starting.
  2. In the previous chapter, we cloned the Git repository; if you have not already done so, continue to follow these steps. If you have already cloned the repository, skip to step 7.
  3. Open the terminal on your compute instance. Note the path will include your user in the directory. Type the following into the terminal to clone the sample notebooks into your working directory:
    git clone https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Azure-Machine-Learning-Engineering.git
  4. Clicking on the refresh icon shown in Figure 10.2 will update and refresh the notebooks...
