What replaced Azure Machine Learning Studio (classic)?

Azure Machine Learning Studio (classic) has been superseded by Azure Machine Learning, with the latest change in December 2018 (Modern ARM Platform GA & Studio Designer Integration). Earlier names covered by this entry also include Azure Machine Learning Workbench. Enterprise machine learning platform for training, automating, deploying, and governing ML and generative AI models with end-to-end MLOps, notebooks, and visual pipelines. The underlying legacy API or CLI surface is deprecated, so a technical migration is required.

Also known as

  • Azure Machine Learning studio
  • Azure Machine Learning designer

Technical identifiers

Legacy identifiers deprecated. The underlying API or CLI surface for the legacy name is officially deprecated, so this change requires a technical migration rather than a label update.

Notes & disambiguation

  • Launched in 2015 as Azure Machine Learning Studio at studio.azureml.net (later renamed Azure Machine Learning Studio (classic)), the standalone drag-and-drop service was retired on August 31, 2024.
  • All workloads migrated to the modern Azure Machine Learning platform (ml.azure.com), which includes Azure Machine Learning studio and the drag-and-drop Azure Machine Learning designer (v2).
  • The legacy Microsoft.MachineLearning/workspaces ARM namespace and v1 CLI/SDK were superseded by Microsoft.MachineLearningServices/workspaces, the az ml v2 CLI extension, Python SDK v2, and Terraform azurerm_machine_learning_workspace.
