Train Models
Machine Learning is primarily about training models that you can use to provide predictive services to

resources
to train and manage your models. You can interact with the Azure Machine Learning workspace through the
Studio, Python SDK, and Azure CLI.

Create the workspace

To create the Azure Machine Learning workspace and a compute instance, you’ll use the Azure CLI. All necessary
commands are grouped in a Shell script for you to execute.

1. In a browser, open the Azure portal at portal.azure.com, signing in with your Microsoft account.
2. Select the [>_] (Cloud Shell) button at the top of the page to the right of the search box. This opens a Cloud
Shell pane at the bottom of the portal.
3. The first time you open the cloud shell, you will be asked to choose the type of shell you want to use (Bash
or PowerShell). Select Bash.
4. If you are asked to create storage for your cloud shell, check that the correct subscription is specified and
select Create storage. Wait for the storage to be created.

5. In the terminal, enter the following commands to clone this repo:

```bash rm -r mslearn-dp100 -f git clone https://github.com/MicrosoftLearning/mslearn-dp100 mslearn-

dp100

6. After the repo has been cloned, enter the following commands to change to the folder for this lab and run
the setup.sh script it contains:

Code  Copy

cd mslearn-dp100
./setup.sh

7. Wait for the script to complete - this typically takes around 5-10 minutes.

Clone the lab materials

While you can use the Notebooks page in Azure Machine Learning studio to run notebooks, it’s often more
productive to use a more fully-featured notebook development environment like Jupyter. Fortunately, your Azure
Machine Learning compute instance includes an installation of Jupyter.

� Tip: Jupyter Notebook is a commonly used open source tool for data science. You can refer to the documentation if you are
unfamiliar with it.

1. In Azure Machine Learning studio, view the Compute page for your workspace; and on the Compute
 Instances tab, start your compute instance if it is not already running.
2. Select Terminal under Applications to open a terminal, and ensure that its Compute is set to your
compute instance and that the current path is the /users/your-user-name folder.

3. Enter the following command to clone a Git repository containing notebooks, data, and other files to your
workspace:

Code  Copy

git clone https://github.com/MicrosoftLearning/mslearn-dp100 mslearn-dp100

4. When the command has completed, in the Notebooks pane, click ↻ to refresh the view and verify that a
new /users/your-user-name/mslearn-dp100 folder has been created. This folder contains multiple .ipynb
notebook files.

� Tip: New to Python? Use the Python cheat sheet to understand the code.

Train models using the Azure Machine Learning SDK

In this exercise, the code to train models is provided in a notebook.

1. In the Notebooks page, browse to the /users/your-user-name/mslearn-dp100 folder where you cloned
the notebook repository, and open the Train Models notebook.
2. Then read the notes in the notebook, running each code cell in turn.

Delete Azure resources

When you finish exploring Azure Machine Learning, you should delete the resources you’ve created to avoid
unnecessary Azure costs.

1. Close the Azure Machine Learning Studio tab and return to the Azure portal.
2. In the Azure portal, on the Home page, select Resource groups.
3. Select the rg-dp100-labs resource group.
4. At the top of the Overview page for your resource group, select Delete resource group.
5. Enter the resource group name to confirm you want to delete it, and select Delete.
