ComputeInstance	Manages a cloud-based, optimized ML development environment in Azure Machine Learning. An Azure Machine Learning compute instance is a fully-configured and managed development environment in the cloud that is optimized for machine learning development workflows. ComputeInstance is typically used to create a development environment or as a compute target for training and inference for development and testing. With a ComputeInstance you can author, train, and deploy models in a fully integrated notebook experience in your workspace. For more information, see What is an Azure Machine Learning compute instance?. Class ComputeTarget constructor. Retrieve a cloud representation of a Compute object associated with the provided workspace. Returns an instance of a child class corresponding to the specific type of the retrieved Compute object.
ComputeTarget	Abstract parent class for all compute targets managed by Azure Machine Learning. A compute target is a designated compute resource/environment where you run your training script or host your service deployment. This location may be your local machine or a cloud-based compute resource. For more information, see What are compute targets in Azure Machine Learning? Class ComputeTarget constructor.
