In a series of blog posts, I am planning to write down my experiences of training, deploying and managing models and running pipelines with Azure Machine Learning Service. This is part-1 where I will be walking you through the creation of workspace in Azure ML service
About Azure Machine Learning Service
Azure Machine Learning Service is a cloud based platform from Microsoft to train, deploy, automate, manage and track ML models. It has a facility to build models by using drag-drop components in Designer along with traditional code based model building. Azure ML service makes our job very ease in maintaining developed models and also helps in hassle free deployment of models in lower(QA, Unit) and higher(Prod) environments as APIs. It is integrated with various components in Azure like Azure Kubernetes Services, **Azure Databricks, Azure Monitor, Azure Storage accounts, Azure Pipelines, MLFlow, Kubeflow **to carry out various activities which will be discussed in upcoming posts.
Why Azure Machine Learning Service
In the process of building models, one need to play around with various hyperparameters and use various techniques. Also one need to scale out the resources for training the model if the dataset is huge. Bringing your model development and deployment to cloud makes your job easy. In particular Azure Machine Learning Service has below advantages.
- Simplifies model management
- Automated machine learning simplifies model building
- Scales out training to GPU cluster or CPU cluster or Azure Databricks whenever needed with inbuilt integration
- Deployment of models to production with Azure Kubernetes Service or Azure IOT edge is very simple.
