SageMaker AI training jobs map to Azure Machine Learning command/sweep jobs on compute clusters or serverless compute.
- SageMaker offers built-in algorithms, framework containers, Managed Spot Training, and warm pools.
- Azure ML uses environments (curated or custom Docker), compute clusters that scale to zero, serverless compute (no cluster to manage), low-priority VMs, and multinode distributed training. You can also attach Kubernetes (AKS/Arc) as compute.
- Hyperparameter tuning maps to sweep jobs on Azure ML.
