NEW REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE: Training of Python scikit-learn models on Azure

This post has been republished via RSS; it originally appeared at: Azure Global articles.

We recently published our ninth AI reference architecture (on the Azure Architecture Center).

• Training of Python scikit-learn models on Azure

Reference architectures provide a consistent approach and best practices for a given solution. Each architecture includes recommended practices, along with considerations for scalability, availability, manageability, security, and more. The full array of reference architectures is available on the Azure Architecture Center.

This reference architecture shows recommended practices for tuning the hyperparameters (training parameters) of a scikit-learn Python model. A reference implementation for this architecture is available on GitHub.

This architecture consists of several Azure cloud services that scale resources according to need.

• Microsoft Data Science Virtual Machine (DSVM)
• Azure Machine Learning service
• Azure Machine Learning Compute
• Azure Container Registry
• Azure Blob

Topics covered include:

• Architecture
• Performance considerations
• Monitoring and logging considerations
• Cost considerations
• Security considerations
• Deployment
