Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D, E
Explanation
Azure Machine Learning supports various data import sources, including Azure-native services like Blob Storage and SQL Database, as well as standard protocols like HTTP/HTTPS and local file uploads. However, external services like Google Drive are not directly supported and would require manual data transfer to an Azure-compatible storage service.
- A. Correct.
Azure Blob Storage is a native and highly recommended data source for Azure Machine Learning, allowing seamless integration with datasets stored in the cloud.
- B. Incorrect.
Google Drive is not a supported direct import source for Azure Machine Learning. You would need to manually transfer files to an Azure-supported storage service first.
- C. Correct.
Azure SQL Database is a supported import source and can be connected directly using credentials or data connectors.
- D. Correct.
HTTP/HTTPS URLs are valid sources for importing data into Azure Machine Learning, as datasets can be directly accessed and downloaded from public URLs.
- E. Correct.
Local Files are valid as they can be uploaded to Azure Machine Learning from your local machine for processing.
