Getting Started with Azure Machine Learning Workspace and Assets

Setting up a robust environment is the first and most critical step in any data science project. Azure Machine Learning provides a centralized workspace to manage your data, compute resources, and experiments, but navigating its core assets can feel overwhelming at first. This text-based course guides you through the foundational structure of Azure Machine Learning. You will understand how to organize your work, secure your data, and prepare compute power for training and deploying models, preparing you to collaborate effectively on cloud-based AI projects. What you'll learn: - Understand the core architecture of an Azure Machine Learning workspace and its basic components - Configure and manage cloud compute resources, including compute instances and clusters - Register and track data assets, datastores, and environments for reproducible experiments - Track model metrics and parameters using modern integrated MLflow tracking patterns - Organize pipeline assets to automate end-to-end machine learning workflows - Deploy trained models to cloud endpoints for real-time inference You will start by exploring basic cloud machine learning terminology and workspace setup before moving on to step-by-step written guides on configuring data, compute, and model assets. The material flows logically from initial resource provisioning to managing active machine learning experiments. This course is designed for aspiring data scientists, cloud engineers, and developers who are new to Azure Machine Learning. No prior cloud experience is required, though a basic understanding of machine learning concepts is helpful.
