We are going to end our cloud API exploration journey with this chapter. So far, we have gently introduced ourselves to the wonderful world of APIs, specifically the APIs that let us carry out deep learning with ease. We have seen how to consume REST APIs and use them programmatically. Like Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft also offers its own cloud service platform, which is called Azure. As in previous chapters, we will only be focusing on the deep learning-based solutions that Azure has to offer. We will be shifting gears a bit and will also take a look at Microsoft's Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK), which is a deep learning framework like Keras.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Setting up your account in Azure
- A quick walk-through of the deep learning solutions offered by Azure...
