Learning Objectives
- Create an Azure Machine Learning workspace using the SDK
- Run experiments and train models using the SDK
- Optimize and manage models using the SDK
- Deploy and consume models using the SDK
Intended Audience
This course is designed for data scientists with existing knowledge of Python and machine learning frameworks, such as Scikit-Learn, PyTorch, and Tensorflow, who want to build and operate machine learning solutions in the cloud.
Prerequisites
- Fundamental knowledge of Microsoft Azure
- Experience writing Python code to work with data using libraries such as Numpy, Pandas, and Matplotlib
- Understanding of data science, including how to prepare data and train machine learning models using common machine learning libraries, such as Scikit-Learn, PyTorch, or Tensorflow

When you run a script as an Azure machine learning experiment, you need to define the execution context for the experiment run. The execution context is made up of the Python environment for the script, which must include all Python packages used in the script. You also need the Compute target on which the script will be run.
Now, this could be the local workstation from which the experiment run is initiated or it can be a remote Compute target such as a training cluster that is provisioned on demand.
