ML Made Simple

Exercise Part 6: Clean-up Your Azure ML Resources

Just like cleaning up after a party, it’s important to tidy up your Azure resources when you’re done using them. This helps avoid unnecessary costs. Let’s walk through how to delete your Azure Container Instances (ACI) and stop your compute instance.

---

Step 1: Deleting the ACI Endpoint

• Like Throwing Out the Trash:
  • Go to the Endpoints tab in Azure Machine Learning studio.
  • Find the predict-auto-price endpoint.
  • Hit the Delete (🗑) button and confirm that you want to say goodbye to it.

Step 2: Stopping Your Compute Instance

• Turning Off the Lights:
  • Head over to the Compute page.
  • Under Compute Instances, find your compute instance.
  • Click Stop. It’s like turning off your computer when you’re not using it.

Optional: Deleting the Resource Group

• If You’re All Done with Azure ML:
  • Jump into the Azure portal.
  • Navigate to the Resource groups page.
  • Open the resource group you used for your Azure Machine Learning workspace.
  • Click Delete resource group. It’s a bit like moving out of an apartment.
  • Confirm the deletion by typing the resource group name. This is like handing over the keys.

And that’s it! Your Azure ML space is now all clean and tidy. Just remember, next time you want to play with Azure Machine Learning, you’ll need to set up these resources again.
