    • Azure AI is a set of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) services provided by Microsoft Azure, which is a cloud computing platform. Azure AI aims to help developers and data scientists build, deploy, and manage AI solutions using a variety of tools, frameworks, and services. These services include pre-built AI capabilities, machine learning tools, and custom AI development platforms.
    • Azure Machine Learning is a specific service within Azure AI that focuses on providing tools, services, and platforms to build, train, and deploy machine learning models. It offers a cloud-based environment that enables developers and data scientists to collaboratively work on model development, testing, and deployment. Some key features of Azure Machine Learning include:
      • Drag-and-drop designer: A visual interface for building, training, and deploying machine learning models without the need for coding.
      • Automated machine learning: A feature that automates the process of selecting the best algorithm, data preprocessing, and hyperparameter tuning for a given problem, thus reducing the time and effort required for model development.
      • MLOps (Machine Learning Operations): Tools and services to manage the end-to-end machine learning lifecycle, including model versioning, monitoring, and deployment.
      • Integration with popular open-source frameworks and tools: Azure Machine Learning supports popular ML frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn, and integrates with tools like Jupyter notebooks for a seamless development experience.
      • Scalable compute resources: Azure Machine Learning allows you to leverage the power of the cloud to train and deploy models on demand, using GPU and CPU clusters.
