Which module should you add to the pipeline in Designer?

You are creating a new Azure Machine Learning pipeline using the designer.

The pipeline must train a model using data in a comma-separated values (CSV) file that is published on a

website. You have not created a dataset for this file.

You need to ingest the data from the CSV file into the designer pipeline using the minimal administrative effort.

Answer: D

Explanation:

The preferred way to provide data to a pipeline is a Dataset object. The Dataset object points to data that lives in or is accessible from a datastore or at a Web URL. The Dataset class is abstract, so you will create an instance of either a FileDataset (referring to one or more files) or a TabularDataset that’s created by from one or more files with delimited columns of data.

Example:

from azureml.core import Dataset

iris_tabular_dataset = Dataset.Tabular.from_delimited_files([(def_blob_store, ‘train-dataset/iris.csv’)])
