Download and use Azure AutoML model on local machine? - azure

I've used Azure AutoML to build and train a classification model. However, instead of deploying the model to a web service or real-time endpoint, I'd like to be able to download the model and run it on my local machine.
I've attempted to follow https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/v1/how-to-deploy-local, however it's quite vague and I'm a beginner to using ML models so got stuck quite quickly.

In Azure ML SDK v1 you can download the model and deploy locally. Here is the document and the sample notebook to deploy locally .
You can download the model:
From the portal, by selecting the Models tab, selecting the desired model, and on the Details page, selecting Download.
From the command line, by using az ml model download.
By using the Python SDK Model.download() method.

Deployment of Machine Learning models in Azure machine learning through mlflow

I am new to MLOps. It would be helpful if someone can share the procedure to use mlflow in deployment of Machine Learning models in azure machine learning.
I don't want to use databricks.
A sample run step by step with example will be helpful.. thanks in anticipation

How to export a MLFlow Model from Azure Databricks as an Azure DevOps Artifacts for CD phase?

I am trying to create an MLOps Pipeline using Azure DevOps and Azure Databricks. From Azure DevOps, I am submitting a Databricks job to a cluster, which trains a Machine Learning Model and saves it into MLFlow Model Registry with a custom flavour (using PyFunc Custom Model).
Now after the job gets over, I want to export this MLFlow Object (with all dependencies - Conda dependencies, two model files - one .pkl and one .h5, the Python Class with load_context() and predict() functions defined so that after exporting I can import it and call predict as we do with MLFlow Models).
How do I export this entire MLFlow Model and save it as an AzureDevOps Artifact to be used in the CD phase (where I will deploy it to an AKS cluster with a custom base image)?
There is no official way to export a Databricks MLflow run from one workspace to another. However, there is an "unofficial" tool that does most of the job with the main limitation being that notebook revisions linked to a run cannot be exported due to lack of a REST API endpoint for this.

Probably you needn't to use the artifacts, there is an azure devops extension (Machine Learning), it can access artifacts in the AzureML workspace, and trigger the release pipeline. You can refer to link below for the steps:

Deployment deep learning system with some models with MLaaS

I read some articles with deployment examples and they were about deploying one model but not a whole deep learning system.
If I want to deploy my project including launch of multiple deep models built with different frameworks (Pytorch, tensorflow) then what's good option for that:
build Docker image with whole project and deploy it with ml
service (azure, aws lambda etc);
or deploy every single model with
chosen MLaaS and and elsewhere deploy the logic that makes requests
to the above models;
I would appreciate any reference/link on the subject.
Thanx.
We have public open source release of Many Models solution accelerator. The accelerator is now available on GitHub and open to everyone: Many Models: https://aka.ms/many-models.
• Check out a blog on Many Models from MTC AI Architect Sam here
Check this document using designer: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/how-to-deploy-model-designer? Basically you can register a trained model in Designer bring it out with SDK/CLI to deploy it.
One approach with current integration between Azure ML and Azure DevOps is to setup a release pipeline in Azure DevOps which is triggered by the model registration in your Dev workspace model registry which them deploys to your Prod workspace.
There is guidance and examples in this repo
https://github.com/Microsoft/MLOpsPython
And more general guidance for MLops at http://aka.ms/mlops
This also allows for putting integration tests into your release process or other steps like approval processes if needed using DevOps functionality.

Update Azure ML realtime endpoint

I'm generating a machine learning modell using Azure Auto ML. Is there a way to update my published real-time endpoint without deleting it first?
Thanks in advance.

Machine learning in Azure: How do I publish a pipeline to the workspace once I've already built it in Python using the SDK?

I don't know where else to ask this question so would appreciate any help or feedback. I've been reading the SDK documentation for azure machine learning service (in particular azureml.core). There's a class called Pipeline that has methdods validate() and publish(). Here are the docs for this:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azureml-pipeline-core/azureml.pipeline.core.pipeline.pipeline?view=azure-ml-py
When I call validate(), everything validates and I call publish but it seems to only create an API endpoint in the workspace, it doesn't register my pipeline under Pipelines and there's obviously nothing in the designer.
My question: I want to publish my pipeline so I just have to launch from the workspace with one click. I've built it already using the SDK (Python code). I don't want to work with an API. Is there any way to do this or would I have to rebuild the entire pipeline using the designer (drag and drop)?
Totally empathize with your confusion. Our team has been working with Azure ML pipelines for quite some time but PublishedPipelines still confused me initially because:
what the SDK calls a PublishedPipeline is called as a Pipeline Endpoint in the Studio UI, and
it is semi-related to Dataset and Model's .register() method, but fundamentally different.
TL;DR: all Pipeline.publish() does is create an endpoint that you can use to:
schedule and version Pipelines, and
re-run the pipeline from other services via a REST API call (e.g. via Azure Data Factory).
You can see PublishedPipelines in the Studio UI in two places:
Pipelines page :: Pipeline Endpoints tab
Endpoints page :: Pipeline Endpoints tab
