Can AutoML experiments with Python SDK v2 target local compute? #108670

Open michaelmcneilnet opened 1 year ago

michaelmcneilnet commented 1 year ago

I'm unclear whether AutoML runs can use local compute with v2 SDK. It seems 'normal' runs can https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/migrate-to-v2-local-runs?view=azureml-api-2 but AutoML experiments can't https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/how-to-configure-auto-train?view=azureml-api-2#compute-to-run-experiment.

It would be good if that were more explicit in the docs and with an indication of whether this is coming to v2.

@ssalgadodev can you investigate with the AutoML PM team if this is possible and if we can clarify the upgrade/v2 articles on this?

ssalgadodev commented 1 year ago

@michaelmcneilnet No, AutoML doesn't currently support local computes with v2. We'll add a note to the article to call this out.

michaelmcneilnet commented 1 year ago

Are there any plans to support it? It's a shame to have to use an older version of the sdk to get this feature

Blackmist commented 1 year ago

@michaelmcneilnet we work on the documentation team and don't have much insight into future plans for the product or SDK.

If you'd like to request support for local runs with AutoML in SDK v2, I recommend opening a GitHub issue in the repo that contains the SDK v2 source (https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/tree/azure-ai-ml_1.5.0/sdk/ml/azure-ai-ml). That would bee directly visible by the product group and they may be able to provide more information on plans.
