Prerequisites

Python, Azure CLI, Azure ML CLI Extension

Setup

Add the preview CLI to your Azure CLI

az extension add --source azure_cli_ml_preview-1.0.72-py2.py3-none-any.whl

You can also use the URL of the 'raw' wheel file in github to install it. [Link]

Runnning the sample

See Demo/readme.md

Key concepts

As a preview, you can now package Azure ML Models for use with Azure functions. You can either use azureml-contrib-functions from PyPi, or the CLI preview features included in this repo.

Package Options File

When you package your model, you can package it for functions by providing a 'Package Options File', which is a JSON file that tells Azure ML how to packge your model.

Example for HTTP

{
    {"flavor": "functionsApp", 
    "trigger": "Http", 
    "authLevel": "anonymous"}
}

Auth level is as described in the Azure Functions Documentation

Auth level is an optional parameter which defaults to function.

Example for Blob

{   "flavor": "functionsApp", 
    "trigger": "Blob", 
    "inPath": "input/{blobname}.{blobextension}",
    "outPath": "output/{blobname}.out"}

Input path and output path are as described in documentation here

They are optional parameters which default to the above values.

Make sure to see Connection Strings for configuring your storage account.

Example for Service Bus Queue

"flavor": "functionsApp", 
    "trigger": "ServiceBusQueue", 
    "inQueueName": "inqueue",
    "outQueueName": "outqueue"}

They are optional parameters which default to the above values.

Make sure to see Connection Strings for configuring your Service Bus account.

Connection Strings

Blob and Service Bus Queues require a connection string to know which storage account or Service bus to connect to.

You should pass these connections strings as the aplication setting TriggerConnectionString when you deploy or if you choose to write the docker context to your local disk, you could add it as an environment variable in the dockerfile with the same name.
