Designing and Implementing a Data Science Solution on Azure (Page 11 )

Updated On: 9-Feb-2026

DRAG DROP (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You are building an intelligent solution using machine learning models.
The environment must support the following requirements:
-Data scientists must build notebooks in a cloud environment
-Data scientists must use automatic feature engineering and model building in machine learning pipelines.
-Notebooks must be deployed to retrain using Spark instances with dynamic worker allocation.
-Notebooks must be exportable to be version controlled locally.
You need to create the environment.
Which four actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Select and Place:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:



Step 1: Create an Azure HDInsight cluster to include the Apache Spark Mlib library
Step 2: Install Microsot Machine Learning for Apache Spark
You install AzureML on your Azure HDInsight cluster.
Microsoft Machine Learning for Apache Spark (MMLSpark) provides a number of deep learning and data science tools for Apache Spark, including seamless integration of Spark Machine Learning pipelines with Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK) and OpenCV, enabling you to quickly create powerful, highly-scalable predictive and analytical models for large image and text datasets.
Step 3: Create and execute the Zeppelin notebooks on the cluster
Step 4: When the cluster is ready, export Zeppelin notebooks to a local environment.
Notebooks must be exportable to be version controlled locally.

You plan to build a team data science environment. Data for training models in machine learning pipelines will be over 20 GB in size.
You have the following requirements:
-Models must be built using Caffe2 or Chainer frameworks.
-Data scientists must be able to use a data science environment to build the machine learning pipelines and train models on their personal devices in both connected and disconnected network environments.
Personal devices must support updating machine learning pipelines when connected to a network.
You need to select a data science environment.
Which environment should you use?

  1. Azure Machine Learning Service
  2. Azure Machine Learning Studio
  3. Azure Databricks
  4. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The Data Science Virtual Machine (DSVM) is a customized VM image on Microsoft's Azure cloud built specifically for doing data science. Caffe2 and Chainer are supported by DSVM.
DSVM integrates with Azure Machine Learning.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Use Machine Learning Studio when you want to experiment with machine learning models quickly and easily, and the built-in machine learning algorithms are sufficient for your solutions.

You are implementing a machine learning model to predict stock prices.
The model uses a PostgreSQL database and requires GPU processing.
You need to create a virtual machine that is pre-configured with the required tools.
What should you do?

  1. Create a Data Science Virtual Machine (DSVM) Windows edition.
  2. Create a Geo Al Data Science Virtual Machine (Geo-DSVM) Windows edition.
  3. Create a Deep Learning Virtual Machine (DLVM) Linux edition.
  4. Create a Deep Learning Virtual Machine (DLVM) Windows edition.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

In the DSVM, your training models can use deep learning algorithms on hardware that's based on graphics processing units (GPUs).
PostgreSQL is available for the following operating systems: Linux (all recent distributions), 64-bit installers available for macOS (OS X) version 10.6 and newer ג€"
Windows (with installers available for 64-bit version; tested on latest versions and back to Windows 2012 R2.
Incorrect Answers:
B: The Azure Geo AI Data Science VM (Geo-DSVM) delivers geospatial analytics capabilities from Microsoft's Data Science VM. Specifically, this VM extends the
AI and data science toolkits in the Data Science VM by adding ESRI's market-leading ArcGIS Pro Geographic Information System.
C, D: DLVM is a template on top of DSVM image. In terms of the packages, GPU drivers etc are all there in the DSVM image. Mostly it is for convenience during creation where we only allow DLVM to be created on GPU VM instances on Azure.

You are developing deep learning models to analyze semi-structured, unstructured, and structured data types.
You have the following data available for model building:
-Video recordings of sporting events
-Transcripts of radio commentary about events
-Logs from related social media feeds captured during sporting events
You need to select an environment for creating the model.
Which environment should you use?

  1. Azure Cognitive Services
  2. Azure Data Lake Analytics
  3. Azure HDInsight with Spark MLib
  4. Azure Machine Learning Studio

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Azure Cognitive Services expand on Microsoft's evolving portfolio of machine learning APIs and enable developers to easily add cognitive features ג€" such as emotion and video detection; facial, speech, and vision recognition; and speech and language understanding ג€" into their applications. The goal of Azure Cognitive
Services is to help developers create applications that can see, hear, speak, understand, and even begin to reason. The catalog of services within Azure Cognitive
Services can be categorized into five main pillars - Vision, Speech, Language, Search, and Knowledge.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  1. Bulk Insert SQL Query
  2. AzCopy
  3. Python script
  4. Azure Storage Explorer
  5. Bulk Copy Program (BCP)

Answer(s): B,C,D

Explanation:

You can move data to and from Azure Blob storage using different technologies:
- Azure Storage-Explorer
- AzCopy
- Python
- SSIS
