Azure Machine Learning SDK v2 for Python

Client library for managing Azure ML resources: workspaces, jobs, models, data, and compute.

Installation

pip install azure-ai-ml

Environment Variables

AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<your-subscription-id>
AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP=<your-resource-group>
AZURE_ML_WORKSPACE_NAME=<your-workspace-name>

Authentication

from azure.ai.ml import MLClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

    min_instances=0,
    max_instances=4,
    idle_time_before_scale_down=120
)

        "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
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,
        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}")

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

When to Use

This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take lingxling/azure-ai-ml-py from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
