You create a model to forecast weather conditions based on historical data.

You need to create a pipeline that runs a processing script to load data from a datastore and pass the processed data to a machine learning model training script.

Solution: Run the following code:

Does the solution meet the goal?
A . Yes
B . No

Answer: B

Explanation:

Note: Data used in pipeline can be produced by one step and consumed in another step by providing a PipelineData object as an output of one step and an input of one or more subsequent steps.

Compare with this example, the pipeline train step depends on the process_step_output output of the pipeline process step:

from azureml.pipeline.core import Pipeline, PipelineData

from azureml.pipeline.steps import PythonScriptStep

datastore = ws.get_default_datastore()

process_step_output = PipelineData("processed_data", datastore=datastore)

process_step = PythonScriptStep(script_name="process.py",

arguments=["–data_for_train", process_step_output],

outputs=[process_step_output],

compute_target=aml_compute,

source_directory=process_directory)

train_step = PythonScriptStep(script_name="train.py",

arguments=["–data_for_train", process_step_output],

inputs=[process_step_output],

compute_target=aml_compute,

source_directory=train_directory)

pipeline = Pipeline(workspace=ws, steps=[process_step, train_step])
