Gain the necessary knowledge about how to use Azure services to develop, train, and deploy machine learning solutions. The course starts with an overview of Azure services that support data science. From there, it focuses on using Azure's premier data science service, Azure Machine Learning service, to automate the data science pipeline.

This course is focused on Azure and does not teach the student how to do data science.

This course is aimed at data scientists and those with significant responsibilities in training and deploying machine learning models.

Before attending this course, students must have:

• Azure Fundamentals
• Understanding of data science including how to prepare data, train models, and evaluate competing models to select the best one.
• How to program in the Python programming language and use the Python libraries: pandas, scikit-learn, matplotlib, and seaborn

At the end of this course you will know how to operate machine learning solutions at cloud scale using Azure Machine Learning. This course teaches you to leverage your existing knowledge of Python and machine learning to manage data ingestion and preparation, model training and deployment, and machine learning solution monitoring in Microsoft Azure.

You will be prepared for a role that includes planning and creating a suitable working environment for data science workloads on Azure, running data experiments and training predictive models. In addition, you will be able to manage, optimize, and deploy machine learning models into production.
