Azure Machine Learning Engineering

Introducing the Azure Machine Learning Service

Machine Learning (ML), leveraging data to build and train a model to make predictions, is rapidly maturing. Azure Machine Learning (AML) is Microsoft’s cloud service, which not only enables model development but also your data science life cycle. AML is a tool designed to empower data scientists, ML engineers, and citizen data scientists. It provides a framework to train and deploy models empowered through MLOps to monitor, retrain, evaluate, and redeploy models in a collaborative environment backed by years of feedback from Microsoft’s Fortune 500 customers.

In this chapter, we will focus on deploying an AML workspace, the resource that leverages Azure resources to provide an environment to bring together the assets you will leverage when you use AML. We will showcase how to deploy these resources using a Guided User Interface (GUI), followed by setting up your AML service via the Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI) ml extension (v2), which is the ml extension for the Azure CLI, allowing model training and deployment through the command line. We will proceed with setting up the workspace by leveraging Azure Resource Management (ARM) templates, which are referred to as ARM deployments.

During deployment, key resources will be deployed, including AML Studio, a portal for data scientists to manage their workload, often referred to as your workspace; Azure Key Vault for storing sensitive information; Application Insights for logging information; Azure Container Registry to store docker images to leverage; and an Azure storage account to hold data. These resources will be leveraged behind the scenes as you navigate through the Azure Machine Learning service workspace, creating compute resources for writing code by leveraging the Integrated Development Environments (IDE) of your choice, including Jupyter Notebook, Jupyter Lab, as well as VS Code.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Building your first AMLS workspace
  • Navigating AMLS
  • Creating a compute for writing code
  • Developing within AMLS
  • Connecting AMLS to VS Code

Description

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.

Who is this book for?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is taking all technologist to the new level. We can't imagine AI without Machine Learning (ML). Most learning comes in theoretical way. This is first book that came very handy to learn and apply learning through practical steps. Flow of the books is just perfect.I am grateful to the authors taking learning and apply towards curating perfect examples, content and writeup.
