The technical session focused on the essentials of Azure Data platform and basic Machine Learning (ML) cycle. This also covered data ingestion, exploration and feature engineering, performance analysis, deployment, and Azure Auto ML. The session aimed to keep the local market informed of the risks of dated workload and database servers.
