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.

Deploying the object detection model to an online endpoint using the Azure ML Python SDK

Just like any other ML model, a deep learning model is not useful unless it is deployed and consumers can send data for inference. In our case, it would be sending image data and getting results back containing object types and locations within the raw image.

In this section, we will show you how to use the Azure ML Python SDK to register your previously trained model and deploy it to an online endpoint for real-time inference by following these steps:

  1. Open the chapter 10 notebook, which is inside the repository that you cloned by following the steps in the Technical requirements section of the chapter. Please note that our repository for this chapter uses most of the code from the original repository hosted at https://github.com/Azure/azureml-examples.
  2. The first couple of cells import the required libraries and connect your notebook to the Azure ML workspace, as shown in Figure...
