Summary

In this chapter, you gained an understanding of the deployment architecture and application architecture for creating intelligent applications in Azure. Azure provides Cognitive Services with numerous endpoints—each endpoint is responsible for executing an AI-related algorithm and providing outputs. Almost all Cognitive Services endpoints work in a similar manner with regard to HTTP requests and responses. These endpoints can also be invoked using SDKs provided by Azure for different languages, and you saw an example of obtaining visual features using them. There are more than 50 different endpoints, and you are advised to get an understanding of the nature of endpoints using the API console feature provided by Azure.
