Microsoft Azure is more than cloud hosting. With a set of predefined artificial intelligence models available for companies of all sizes, Cognitive Services offers a toolkit to quickly scale AI/ML development with little to no knowledge of data science. In this course, you’ll develop the core skills necessary to deliver intelligent, cloud-based applications and services with a thorough overview of Azure Cognitive Services. First, you’ll review FastAPI, a framework for developing RESTful APIs with Python. Next, you’ll be introduced to the Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services library before exploring each artificial intelligence model and their applications. Finally, you'll use FastAPI to implement a portfolio-ready project built with Microsoft Azure. By the end of this course, you’ll have the foundational knowledge to work with Azure Cognitive Services. You’ll also be prepared to take the certification exam for Microsoft AI-102: Designing and Implementing an Azure AI Solution.
