Building intelligent cloud applications : develop scalable models using serverless architectures with Azure Serverless computing is radically changing the way we build and deploy applications. With cloud providers running servers and managing machine resources companies now can focus solely on the applications business logic and functionality. This hands on book shows experienced programmers how to build and deploy scalable machine learning and deep learning models using serverless architectures with Microsoft Azure. Youll learn step by step how to code machine learning into your projects using Python and pretrained models that include tools such as image recognition speech recognition and classification. Youll also examine issues around deployment and continuous delivery including scaling security and monitoring Part 1. Cloud based development. Machine learning and deep learning models in the Cloud Functions as a service and event driven programming Serverless application programming interfaces in Microsoft Azure Part 2. Additing intelligence. Getting started with Microsoft Azure functions Using machine learning and deep learning models Part 3. Deployment and continuous delivery. Deployment and scaling Security Monitoring.
