Book Description
Fully build and productionize end-to-end machine learning solutions using Azure Machine Learning Service
Key Features
- Automate complete machine learning solutions using Microsoft Azure
- Understand how to productionize machine learning models
- Get to grips with monitoring, MLOps, deep learning, distributed training, and reinforcement learning
Book 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.

Editorial Reviews
Review
“I develop Azure machine learning (AML) and custom vision models for my research and I found this book to be a very useful resource. The book covers a wide range of topics, which include building AMLS workspaces; creating blob storage account datastores; training, tuning, and deploying AML models; and using the Responsible AI toolbox. The book provides the reader with easy-to-understand steps for creating ML and deep learning models using different tools – the drag-and-drop designer tool, Python code in the Jupyter Notebook, and automated ML. The chapter on deep learning covers several topics that are very relevant to my work: image analysis, image classification, and object detection. The book does a very good job in helping you understand how to build end-to-end ML pipelines in Azure.”

“This is a comprehensive book on Azure machine learning covering all aspects such as responsible AI. It gives an end-to-end perspective to AI/ML engineers for using the Cloud (AMS/Azure) in a step-by-step way. I liked the coverage of both MLOps and Responsible AI. As we develop complex and professional apps, considerations like MLOps and Responsible AI will play a key role going forward. Hence, I recommend this book for developing professional AI/ML applications.”
