Hi Shan Wain,
We understand you encountered an error during the exercise. To assist you, we have re-tried the steps from our end and were able to complete the process successfully, as shown in the attached screenshots. Kindly follow the detailed instructions below to proceed:
After executing the command in Step 6, please wait a few minutes for the script to complete. You may safely ignore any error messages that appear. Once completed, manually create a workspace by following the instructions shown in the screenshot.
Next, copy the Access Key and the Name of your storage account from the top of the page. The storage account name should start with mlwdp100storage.... You will need to paste this information into the notebook later.
Then, navigate to the Compute page and verify that the compute instance and cluster you created in the previous section are available. On the compute instance, click the three dots (...), then select Terminal. This will open a Notebook session, as shown in the screenshot provided.
Within the terminal, install the Python SDK by running the necessary commands. After the installation is complete, clone the Git repository containing the notebooks, data, and other related files into your workspace.
Once the repository is cloned, you will see an azure-ml-labs folder. Select Authenticate if prompted and follow the necessary steps to complete the authentication.
If you encounter any further issues, please feel free to contact us along with a screenshot of the error, and we will be happy to assist you further.
