azure-ai-ml-py non-hero scenarios

These scenarios are intentionally separate from hero flows in SKILL.md. They cover secondary/advanced patterns typically used after the primary end-to-end path is working.

Jobs

Command Job

from azure.ai.ml import command, Input

job = command(
    code="./src",
    command="python train.py --data ${{inputs.data}} --lr ${{inputs.learning_rate}}",
    inputs={
        "data": Input(type="uri_folder", path="azureml:my-dataset:1"),
        "learning_rate": 0.01
    },
    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}")

Monitor Job

ml_client.jobs.stream(returned_job.name)

Pipelines

from azure.ai.ml import dsl, Input, Output

@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,
        learning_rate=0.01
    )
    return {"model": train_step.outputs.model}

pipeline = training_pipeline(
    data_input=Input(type="uri_folder", path="azureml:my-dataset:1")
)

pipeline_job = ml_client.jobs.create_or_update(pipeline)

Environments

Create Custom Environment

from azure.ai.ml.entities import Environment

env = Environment(
    name="my-env",
    version="1",
    image="mcr.microsoft.com/azureml/openmpi4.1.0-ubuntu20.04",
    conda_file="./environment.yml"
)

ml_client.environments.create_or_update(env)

Datastores

List Datastores

for ds in ml_client.datastores.list():
    print(f"{ds.name}: {ds.type}")

Get Default Datastore

default_ds = ml_client.datastores.get_default()
print(f"Default: {default_ds.name}")
