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.

Training code-free models with the designer

In this section, let’s see what options are available for code-free modeling using the designer. The Designer enables data scientists to create models without the need to write code. It makes it easy for any data scientist to build and compare models. Within the designer, the development environment is a graphical user interface that allows right-clicking to change the settings for a given step. The interface allows not only the development of the model but also one-click deployment to deploy to various styles of APIs, including real-time or batch endpoints, which are REST APIs that can be consumed by other business applications or downstream applications.

For example, drag a task to connect to a data source and configure the properties to connect to the data source. These properties include the dataset name and connection string parameters, including the username and password.
