Question

You are designing a training job in an Azure Machine Learning workspace by using Automated ML. During training, the compute resource must scale up to handle larger datasets. You need to select the compute resource that has a multi-node cluster that automatically scales. Which Azure Machine Learning compute target should you use?

Options

  • ACompute instance
  • BEndpoints
  • CKubernetes cluster
  • DServerless compute

Why each option

Serverless compute in Azure ML automatically provisions and scales multi-node compute on demand, removing the need to manually manage a cluster configuration.

ACompute instance

Compute instance is a single-node managed virtual machine and does not support multi-node automatic scaling for training workloads.

BEndpoints

Endpoints are used for model deployment and real-time or batch inference serving, not as a training compute target.

CKubernetes cluster

Kubernetes cluster can support multi-node workloads but requires explicit setup, scaling policy configuration, and ongoing cluster management - it does not scale automatically out of the box in the same self-managed way.

DServerless computeCorrect

Serverless compute abstracts cluster management entirely and dynamically scales to multiple nodes based on workload demand. This makes it the correct choice for Automated ML jobs that need to handle larger datasets without pre-configuring a fixed cluster size or managing scale-in and scale-out rules.
