Mastering Azure Machine Learning
By :

This book requires the use of Azure services and therefore an Azure subscription. You can create an Azure account for free and receive USD 200 of credits to use within 30 days using the sign-up page at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/.
To run the authoring code, you can either use a compute instance in the Azure Machine Learning workspace (typically a Standard_DS3_v2
virtual machine), which gives you access to a Jupyter environment and all essential libraries preinstalled, or you can run it on your own local machine. To do so, you need a Python runtime with the Jupyter package installed and some additional libraries, which will be mentioned in the technical requirements of each chapter. We tested all the code with Python version 3.8 and the Azure ML Python SDK version 1.34.0 at the time of writing. If you want to work with a different setup, be sure to check the supported Python version for the Azure ML Python SDK (https://pypi.org/project/azureml-sdk/).
If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book's GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
Finally, to get the most out of this book, you should have experience in programming in Python and have a basic understanding of popular ML and data manipulation libraries such as TensorFlow, Keras, scikit-learn, and pandas.
