Key Azure AI & ML Services

Azure Machine Learning

Azure Machine Learning is a cloud-based environment that you can use to train, deploy, automate, manage, and track machine learning models. It provides tools for every stage of the ML lifecycle, including:

• Data preparation and exploration: Use notebooks, visual data preparation tools, and data profiling.
• Model training: Train models using various frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn), automated ML, and distributed training.
• Model management: Track experiments, register models, and manage their versions.
• Model deployment: Deploy models as real-time endpoints, batch inference, or to edge devices.
• MLOps: Implement continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for machine learning.
