},
environment="AzureML-sklearn-1.0-ubuntu20.04-py38-cpu@latest",
compute="cpu-cluster",
display_name="training-job"
)
returned_job = ml_client.jobs.create_or_update(job)
print(f"Job URL: {returned_job.studio_url}")

Pipelines
from azure.ai.ml import dsl, Input, Output
from azure.ai.ml.entities import Pipeline
@dsl.pipeline(
compute="cpu-cluster",
description="Training pipeline"
)
def training_pipeline(data_input):
prep_step = prep_component(data=data_input)
train_step = train_component(
data=prep_step.outputs.output_data,

)
return {"model": train_step.outputs.model}
pipeline = training_pipeline(

Best Practices
- Use versioning for data, models, and environments
- Configure idle scale-down to reduce compute costs
- Use environments for reproducible training
- Stream job logs to monitor progress
- Register models after successful training jobs
- Use pipelines for multi-step workflows
- Tag resources for organization and cost tracking
