Object Reorg Needed...

[russellhanna]

Hello,
After sorting through the ScriptRunConfig reorg of SKLearn, I can see that this chunk of [pip] and [conda] environment objects need update as well. Maybe you already have the calls for the planned evolution in "Environment" but please put something here so we don't waste too much time rewriting when you get around to this.

Given the utterly complex way these objects are laid out, it would help me a lot if you had a document for "mapping the AML object universe in your hippocampus." Then we could retain this stuff when we read it, and your user community would become more productive, faster, than all your competitors. (You want to catch up to AWS, right? ;-)

Hope you are well. May 2021 be better in every way than 2020! 🤦‍♂️

we will do our best to cleanup the v1 documentation, but the core issues will be addressed, fixed, and documented in AMLv2. apologies for the confusion!

@russellhanna do you actually need to worry a lot about that object, even though your point is valid? We have primitives to instantiate environment from conda spec or pip requirements. See Environment. Some customers prefer programmatic approach and we should respect that with our current commitments. As @lostmygithubaccount mentioned AzureML V2 addresses all the great feedbacks from our customers and hopefully you will be pleased with that too :) stay tuned ;)

Closing the ticket, please feel free to re-open or provide any feedback that we can assure you is valuable.

Thanks for your quick replies. I'm not gonna lie: I'm a total noob. I'm just stumbling across some pristine objects, like ScriptRunConfig, and wow! But the MOOC I'm taking is asking for me to use SKLearn in what seems kinda klunky. So then I tried to really read it and it looked like maybe you just had not gotten around to SKLearn. Popular, legacy, convoluted. My note was really a "ICYMI" reminder.
