azureml-defaults not described

We need details description of azureml-defaults.

We need this when deployment. In training, we usually use azureml-core. In deployment, azureml-defaults is necessary (only azureml-core is not enough to deploy). I heard azureml-defaults includes azureml-core. But it is not documented.

I think azureml-defaults has azureml-core plus a package for application insights/something for logging that's needed in deployment and that's all - but given I don't know I would not expect external users to and Azure ML should document this.

we have a larger problem with a confusing Python package with many meta packages, weird conventions, etc. that we will solve in v2. for v1 we will work to reduce confusion and provide clear guidance on this

see #1325 for the meta issue

Because of the lack of azureml-defaults documents, my customer installed both azureml-defaults and azureml-core for inference endpoint. It is recommended ? no problem ?
