-Azure Machine Learning allows you to perform real-time inferencing on data by using models that are deployed to *online endpoints*. While these outputs are typically called *predictions*, you can use inferencing to generate outputs for other machine learning tasks, such as classification and clustering.

 Online endpoints deploy models to a web server that can return predictions under the HTTP protocol. Online endpoints can operationalize models for real-time inference in synchronous, low-latency requests, and are best used when:
