You manage an Azure Machine Learning workspace named Workspace1 and an Azure Blob Storage accessed by using the URL https://storage1.blob.core.windows.net/data1.
You plan to create an Azure Blob datastore in Workspace1. The datastore must target the Blob Storage by using Azure Machine Learning Python SDK v2. Access authorization to the datastore must be limited to a specific amount of time.
You need to select the parameters of the AzureBlobDatastore class that will point to the target datastore and authorize access to it.
Which parameters should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
âś… container_name="data1"
Reasoning: To create a datastore for Azure Blob Storage, the container_name parameter is used to specify the container. The provided storage URL, https://storage1.blob.core.windows.net/data1, indicates that data1 is the name of the container within the storage1 account.
âś… credentials=SasTokenConfiguration
Reasoning: The requirement is to limit access for a specific amount of time. A Shared Access Signature (SAS) token is the standard Azure method for granting temporary, time-bound, and scoped access to storage resources. The SasTokenConfiguration is the correct credential type to use a SAS token for authorization.
Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-ai-ml/azure.ai.ml.entities.azureblobdatastore?view=azure-python
You have an Azure Machine Learning workspace.
You plan to use Azure Machine Learning Python SDK v2 to register a component in the workspace. The component definition is stored in the local file ./components/train/train.yml.
You write code to connect to the workspace by using the ml_client object and import all required libraries.
You need to complete the remaining code.
How should you complete the code? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer Area Selections:
âś… load_component
Reasoning: The first step is to load the component definition from the local YAML file (train.yml) into a Python object. The azure.ai.ml.load_component function is specifically designed for this purpose. It parses the YAML file and creates an in-memory representation of the component.
âś… create_or_update
Reasoning: After the component object is loaded, the next step is to register it in the Azure Machine Learning workspace. The ml_client.components.create_or_update() method is used to send the component definition to the workspace. This action makes the component available for use in pipelines and jobs within that workspace.
Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-ai-ml/azure.ai.ml#azure-ai-ml-load-component
You have an Azure Machine Learning workspace named WS1 and a GitHub account named account1 that hosts a private repository named repo1.
You need to clone repo1 to make it available directly from WS1. The configuration must maximize the performance of the repo1 clone.
Which four actions should you perform in sequence?
Correct sequence of steps:
To clone a private GitHub repository into an Azure Machine Learning compute instance using SSH for secure and performant access, you must follow these steps in order.
- Create a compute instance: This is the first step as it provisions the managed virtual machine within your Azure ML workspace. This instance will serve as the development environment where the repository will be cloned and the code will be run.
- Open a terminal window: Once the compute instance is created and running, you need command-line access to it. Opening a terminal from the Azure ML studio provides this access, allowing you to run shell commands on the instance.
- Generate a Secure Shell (SSH) key pair: Inside the terminal, you run the
ssh-keygencommand. This creates a public/private key pair. The private key remains securely on the compute instance, while the public key will be used to grant access from GitHub. - Add a public key to account1: You must copy the content of the newly created public key and add it to your GitHub account's SSH key settings. This action registers the key with GitHub, authorizing the compute instance (which holds the private key) to securely connect and clone the private repository.
Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/how-to-create-compute-instance?view=azureml-api-2&tabs=python#access-the-terminal
You download a .csv file from a notebook in an Azure Machine Learning workspace to a data/sample.csv folder on a compute instance. The file contains 10,000 records.
You must generate the summary statistics for the data in the file. The statistics must include the following for each numerical column:
• number of non-empty values
• average value
• standard deviation
• minimum and maximum values
• 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles
You need to complete the Python code that will generate the summary statistics.
Which code segments should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer Area Selections
âś… pandas
Reasoning: The pandas library is the standard for data manipulation and analysis in Python. Its read_csv() function is specifically designed to efficiently read comma-separated values (CSV) files into a DataFrame object, which is required for the subsequent statistical analysis step.
âś… describe
Reasoning: The describe() method, when called on a pandas DataFrame, generates a comprehensive statistical summary for all numerical columns. This output directly includes the required metrics: count, mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, and the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles.
Reference: https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.describe.html
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear on the review screen.
An organization provisions Azure Machine Learning workspaces for development, test, and production environments.
Each environment must be deployed consistently and updated through source control. The deployment process must be automated, repeatable, and auditable.
You need to deploy Azure Machine Learning resources in a consistent and controlled manner.
Solution: Define Azure Machine Learning resources in a Bicep template and deploy them within a GitHub Action.
Does the solution meet the goal?
Correct Option: A
✅ Option A (Correct) Reasoning: Defining Azure Machine Learning resources using Bicep templates provides Infrastructure as Code, ensuring consistent and repeatable deployments across environments. Integrating this with GitHub Actions automates the deployment process, ensures updates are driven by source control, and provides a clear audit trail of all deployments, fulfilling all stated goals for consistent and controlled resource provisioning.❌ Why the other choices are incorrect:
Option B is incorrect: The proposed solution effectively addresses all requirements. Bicep templates establish consistency and source control integration for resource definitions. GitHub Actions automate the deployment pipeline, ensuring repeatability, auditability through logs, and direct linkage to source control for changes. Therefore, the solution does meet the stated goals.

An organization provisions Azure Machine Learning workspaces for development, test, and production environments.
Each environment must be deployed consistently and updated through source control. The deployment process must be automated, repeatable, and auditable.
You need to deploy Azure Machine Learning resources in a consistent and controlled manner.
Solution: Create Azure Machine Learning workspaces manually in the Azure portal for each environment.
Does the solution meet the goal?
Correct Option: B
✅ Option B (Correct) Reasoning: Creating Azure Machine Learning workspaces manually in the Azure portal does not ensure consistent deployments, integration with source control, automation, repeatability, or auditability. These goals require Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions like Azure Resource Manager templates or Bicep, which allow defining resources in code and deploying them programmatically through pipelines.❌ Why the other choices are incorrect:
Option A is incorrect: Manual creation inherently lacks the automation, consistency, and source control integration explicitly required by the problem statement for the deployment process.
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/machine-learning/how-to-create-workspace-template
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.

An organization provisions Azure Machine Learning workspaces for development, test, and production environments.
Each environment must be deployed consistently and updated through source control. The deployment process must be automated, repeatable, and auditable.
You need to deploy Azure Machine Learning resources in a consistent and controlled manner.
Solution: Clone an existing Azure Machine Learning workspace to create additional environments.
Does the solution meet the goal?
Correct Option: B
✅ Option B (Correct) Reasoning: Cloning an Azure Machine Learning workspace creates a copy but does not integrate with source control for consistent, automated, repeatable, and auditable infrastructure deployments and updates. For these requirements, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions like Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates or Bicep, deployed via CI/CD pipelines, are necessary to define and manage workspace configurations in source control.❌ Why the other choices are incorrect:
Option A is incorrect: Cloning only copies the current state; it doesn't provide a mechanism for managing future updates through source control, automating deployments consistently, or auditing changes to the infrastructure definition itself.
Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/how-to-manage-workspaces?view=azureml-api-2&tabs=cli#create-a-workspace-by-using-arm-template
You manage an Azure Machine Learning workspace. You configure an automated machine learning regression training job by using the Azure Machine Learning Python SDK v2.
You configure the regression job by using the following script:

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Statement 1: The job is terminated if the score is not improving in a specific number of iterations. (Yes)
Reasoning: The parameter enable_early_termination = True explicitly activates an early stopping policy. This policy monitors the primary metric of the job and terminates individual trials that are not showing improvement, thus saving computational resources.
Statement 2: A maximum of five AutoML trials are run in parallel during the regression job. (Yes)
Reasoning: The max_concurrent_trials = 5 parameter directly controls the degree of parallelism. It limits the number of individual model training runs (trials) that can be executed simultaneously on the compute cluster to five.
Statement 3: One AutoML trial can run for 60 minutes before it is terminated. (No)
Reasoning: The timeout_minutes = 60 parameter sets the maximum duration for the entire AutoML job, not for a single trial. The timeout for an individual trial is controlled by the separate trial_timeout_minutes parameter, which is not configured in the provided script.
Statement 4: The AutoML trial run can take up to 1 month before it terminates. (No)
Reasoning: The configuration timeout_minutes = 60 ensures that the entire AutoML job will be terminated after 60 minutes. This setting prevents the job from running for an extended duration, such as one month.
Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-ai-ml/azure.ai.ml.automl.automljob?view=azure-python#azure-ai-ml-automl-automljob-set-limits
You are a data scientist working for a hotel booking website company. You use the Azure Machine Learning service to train a model that identifies fraudulent transactions.
You must deploy the model to an Azure Machine Learning online endpoint by using the Azure Machine Learning Python SDK v2. The deployed model must return real-time predictions of fraud based on transaction data input.
You need to create the script that is specified as the scoring_script parameter for the CodeConfiguration class used to deploy the model.
What should the entry script do?
Correct Option: C
âś… Option C (Correct) Reasoning: The entry script (scoring_script) for an Azure Machine Learning online endpoint is responsible for loading the trained model, usually within an init() function, and then using that loaded model to generate real-time predictions from incoming request data in a run() function.
❌ Why the other choices are incorrect:
-
Option A is incorrect: Environment creation and package installation are handled by the environment definition (e.g., Conda YAML or Docker image) specified during deployment, not by the scoring script itself.
-
Option B is incorrect: Model registration is a separate step performed using
ml.models.create_or_update()before deployment, not within the scoring script. -
Option D is incorrect: Azure Machine Learning's managed online endpoint service handles the provisioning and starting of inference compute nodes, not the scoring script.
-
Option E is incorrect: Compute resource specifications (cores, memory) are defined in the online endpoint's deployment configuration, such as
instance_type, not within the scoring script.
Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/how-to-deploy-online-endpoints?view=azureml-api-2&tabs=python
You build and manage a model by using Azure Machine Learning workspace.
Before you deploy the model, you must create a Responsible AI dashboard in Azure Machine Learning studio. The dashboard must provide observation of the following:
• metrics that show real-world impact on an outcome of interest due to taking a treatment policy
• examples with minimal changes to a particular data point such that the model's prediction changes
You need to implement the components for the Responsible AI dashboard.
Which components should you implement? To answer, move the appropriate components to the correct observations. You may use each component once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to move the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Mappings:
âś… Causal analysis matches with -> Impact of treatment policy
Reasoning: Causal analysis in the Responsible AI dashboard is specifically designed to estimate the cause-and-effect relationship between a feature (a treatment) and an outcome. It helps recommend policies by showing the expected impact of an intervention on a population.
âś… Counterfactual analysis matches with -> Effect of change in data
Reasoning: Counterfactual analysis provides 'what-if' scenarios. It answers the question, 'What is the smallest change to a data point's features that will flip the model's prediction?' This directly corresponds to observing examples with minimal changes that alter the model's output.
