Where to go for AzureML Docs

Examples of how to get started

This is a very currently active repo with examples and tutorials.

A separate docs location with slimmed down docs that cover only the essentials

• https://azure.github.io/azureml-cheatsheets/

Python SDK formal documentation

Do always check the formal docs on any class methods available beyond the scope of the example tutorials

• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azureml-core/?view=azure-ml-py

Azure ML CLI

Important: v1 of the az ml cli will be superceded by v2, which is now in preview.

For reference: V1 documentation:

• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/reference-azure-machine-learning-cli

The V2 documentation has moved within the broader Azure CLI documentation:

• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/ml?view=azure-cli-latest

About the CLI V2

The CLI v2 aims to provide a complete alternative to the Python SDK for the orchestration plane. Compute, jobs, experiments etc are defined and managed via yaml configuration files that are submitted to the Azure Machine Learning Workspace through the CLI, making integration with Devops systems easier.
