+# Azure Machine Learning service example notebooks
 
 This repository contains example notebooks demonstrating the [Azure Machine Learning](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/machine-learning-service/) Python SDK
 which allows you to build, train, deploy and manage machine learning solutions using Azure.  The AML SDK
 allows you the choice of using local or cloud compute resources, while managing
 and maintaining the complete data science workflow from the cloud.
 
-* Read [instructions on setting up notebooks](./NBSETUP.md) to run these notebooks.
+![Azure ML workflow](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/master/articles/machine-learning/service/media/overview-what-is-azure-ml/aml.png)
 
-* Find quickstarts, end-to-end tutorials, and how-tos on the [official documentation site for Azure Machine Learning service](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/).
+## How to use and navigate the example notebooks?
 
-## Getting Started
+You can set up you own Python environment or use Azure Notebooks with Azure ML SDK pre-installed. Read [these instructions](./NBSETUP.md) to set up your environment and clone the example notebooks.
 
-These examples will provide you with an effective way to get started using AML.  Once you're familiar with
-some of the capabilities, explore the repository for specific topics.
+You should always run the [Configuration](./configuration.ipynb) notebook first when setting up a notebook library on a new machine or in a new environment. It configures your notebook library to connect to an Azure Machine Learning workspace, and sets up your workspace and compute to be used by many of the other examples. 
 
-- [Configuration](./configuration.ipynb) configures your notebook library to easily connect to an
-    Azure Machine Learning workspace, and sets up your workspace to be used by many of the other examples.  You should
-    always run this first when setting up a notebook library on a new machine or in a new environment
-- [Train in notebook](./how-to-use-azureml/training/train-within-notebook) shows how to create a model directly in a notebook while recording
-    metrics and deploy that model to a test service
-- [Train on remote](./how-to-use-azureml/training/train-on-remote-vm) takes the previous example and shows how to create the model on a cloud compute target
-- [Production deploy to AKS](./how-to-use-azureml/deployment/production-deploy-to-aks) shows how to create a production grade inferencing webservice
+If you want to...
+
+ * ...try out and explore Azure ML, start with image classification tutorials [part 1 training](./tutorials/img-classification-part1-training.ipynb) and [part 2 deployment](./tutorials/img-classification-part2-deploy.ipynb).
+ * ...learn about experimentation and tracking run history, first [train within Notebook](./how-to-use-azureml/training/train-within-notebook/train-within-notebook.ipynb), then try [training on remote VM](./how-to-use-azureml/training/train-on-remote-vm/train-on-remote-vm.ipynb) and [using logging APIs](./how-to-use-azureml/training/logging-api/logging-api.ipynb).
+ * ...train deep learning models at scale, first learn about [Machine Learning Compute](./how-to-use-azureml/training/train-on-amlcompute/train-on-amlcompute.ipynb), and then try [distributed hyperparameter tuning](./how-to-use-azureml/training-with-deep-learning/train-hyperparameter-tune-deploy-with-pytorch/train-hyperparameter-tune-deploy-with-pytorch.ipynb) and [distributed training](./how-to-use-azureml/training-with-deep-learning/distributed-pytorch-with-horovod/distributed-pytorch-with-horovod.ipynb).
+ * ...deploy model as realtime scoring service, first learn the basics by [training within Notebook and deploying to Azure Container Instance](./how-to-use-azureml/training/train-within-notebook/train-within-notebook.ipynb), then learn how to [register and manage models, and create Docker images](./how-to-use-azureml/deployment/register-model-create-image-deploy-service/register-model-create-image-deploy-service.ipynb), and [production deploy models on Azure Kubernetes Cluster](./how-to-use-azureml/deployment/production-deploy-to-aks/production-deploy-to-aks.ipynb).
+ * ...deploy models as batch scoring service, first [train a model within Notebook](./how-to-use-azureml/training/train-within-notebook/train-within-notebook.ipynb), learn how to [register and manage models](./how-to-use-azureml/deployment/register-model-create-image-deploy-service/register-model-create-image-deploy-service.ipynb), then [create Machine Learning Compute for scoring compute](./how-to-use-azureml/training/train-on-amlcompute/train-on-amlcompute.ipynb), and [use Machine Learning Pipelines to deploy your model](./how-to-use-azureml/machine-learning-pipelines/pipeline-mpi-batch-prediction.ipynb).
+ * ...monitor your deployed models, learn about using [App Insights](./how-to-use-azureml/deployment/enable-app-insights-in-production-service/enable-app-insights-in-production-service.ipynb) and [model data collection](./how-to-use-azureml/deployment/enable-data-collection-for-models-in-aks/enable-data-collection-for-models-in-aks.ipynb).
