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.

Summary

In this chapter, you have explored Azure Machine Learning datastores, which enable you to connect to datastore services. You have also learned about Azure Machine Learning datasets, empowering you to create a reference to a location within a datastore. These assets within Azure Machine Learning can be created through the UI for a low code experience, as well as through the Azure Machine Learning Python SDK or the Azure Machine Learning CLI. Once these references are created, datasets can be retrieved and used through the Azure Machine Learning Python SDK. Once the dataset has been retrieved, it can easily be converted into a pandas dataframe for use within your code. You have also seen how to use datasets within an Azure Machine Learning job by passing them as input to the job.

In Chapter 3, Training Machine Learning Models in AMLS, you will explore training models; experiments will become a key asset in your toolbelt, enabling traceability as you build your model in AMLS...
