+> Azure Machine Learning (PaaS) is a cloud-based platform from Microsoft designed to help `data scientists and machine learning engineers build, train, deploy, and manage machine learning models at scale`. It supports the `entire machine learning lifecycle, from data preparation and experimentation to deployment and monitoring.` It provides powerful tools for `both code-first and low-code users`, including Jupyter notebooks, drag-and-drop interfaces, and automated machine learning (AutoML). `Azure ML integrates seamlessly with other Azure services and supports popular frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn.`
