- Azure Databricks
- Azure storage
- Azure DevOps
- Power BI
The discussion is not limited to these products and will change over time.

AMLS can be used for any kind of machine learning, from classical ML to deep learning, supervised, and unsupervised learning. Whether you prefer to write Python or R code with the SDK or work with no-code/low-code options in the studio, you can build, train, and track machine learning and deep-learning models in an Azure ML Workspace.
