Explanation

Azure Machine Learning uses the .amlignore file to determine which files to exclude from the snapshot sent to compute targets - not .gitignore. When both .amlignore and .gitignore exist in the same directory, Azure ML only reads .amlignore. Since .amlignore already exists but doesn't contain the 20 files, those files are still being copied. The fix is to copy the exclusion rules from .gitignore into .amlignore. Moving .gitignore to ./outputs or ./logs (choices B and C) has no effect on snapshot behavior. Adding .amlignore content to .gitignore (choice D) is backwards - AML reads .amlignore, not .gitignore.
