| [Machine learning pipeline](#machine-learning-pipeline) | Pipelines are not a different training method, but a **way of defining a workflow using modular, reusable steps**, that can include training as part of the workflow. Machine learning pipelines support using automated machine learning, estimators, and run configuration to train models. Since pipelines are not focused specifically on training, the reasons for using a pipeline are more varied than the other training methods. Generally, you might use a pipeline when:<br>* You want to **schedule unattended processes** such as long running training jobs or data preparation.<br>* Use **multiple steps** that are coordinated across heterogeneous compute resources and storage locations.<br>* Use the pipeline as a **reusable template** for specific scenarios, such as retraining or batch scoring.<br>* **Track and version data sources, inputs, and outputs** for your workflow.<br>* Your workflow is **implemented by different teams that work on specific steps independently**. Steps can then be joined together in a pipeline to implement the workflow. |
