Azure Machine Learning feature availability across clouds regions

  • Article

Learn what Azure Machine Learning features are available in the Azure operated by 21Vianet regions.

In the list of global Azure regions, there are several regions that serve specific markets in addition to the public cloud regions. For example, the Azure operated by 21Vianet regions. Azure Machine Learning is deployed into the following regions, in addition to public cloud regions:

  • Azure operated by 21Vianet region China-East-2.

Azure Machine Learning is still in development in air-gap Regions.

The information in the rest of this document provides information on what features of Azure Machine Learning are available in these regions, along with region-specific information on using these features.

Other Azure operated by 21Vianet limitations

  • Azure operated by 21Vianet has limited VM SKU, especially for GPU SKU. It only has NCv3 family (V100).

  • REST API Endpoints are different from global Azure. Use the following table to find the REST API endpoint for Azure operated by 21Vianet regions:

    REST endpoint Global Azure Azure operated by 21Vianet
    Management plane https://management.chinacloudapi.cn/ https://management.chinacloudapi.cn/
    Data plane https://{location}.experiments.ml.azure.cn https://{location}.experiments.ml.azure.cn
    Microsoft Entra ID https://login.partner.microsoftonline.cn https://login.chinacloudapi.cn

  • Sample notebook may not work, if it needs access to public data.

  • IP address ranges: The CLI command used in the required public internet access instructions does not return IP ranges. Use the Azure IP ranges and service tags for Azure operated by 21Vianet instead.

  • Azure Machine Learning compute instances preview is not supported in a workspace where Private Endpoint is enabled for now, but CI will be supported in the next deployment for the service expansion to all Azure Machine Learning regions.

  • Searching for assets in the web UI with Chinese characters will not work correctly.
