az ml job
Note
This reference is part of the ml extension for the Azure CLI (version 2.15.0 or higher). The extension will automatically install the first time you run an az ml job command. Learn more about extensions.
Manage Azure ML jobs.
An Azure ML job executes a task against a specified compute target. You can configure jobs to scale out model training on Azure. Azure ML supports different job types with different capabilities. For example, the most basic job, a command job, executes a command in a Docker container and can be leveraged for single-node and distributed training. A sweep job executes a hyperparameter sweep over a specified search space for tuning a model's hyperparameters.
Jobs also enable systematic tracking for your ML experimentation and workflows. Once a job is created, Azure ML maintains a run record for the job that includes the metadata, any metrics, logs, and artifacts generated during the job, code that was executed, and the Azure ML environment used. All of your jobs' run records can be viewed in Azure ML studio.

az ml job validate
Validate a job. This command works for pipeline jobs only for now.
This command will validate a YAML specification file to check if it is valid for job creation, and return all issues that were found. Validation mainly includes local checking for schema, like missing fields, environment without version specified, code referred to an non-existent local path; it will also check for the existence of referenced compute targets in the target workspace. Validation result will be printed to the console, including both errors and warnings. Only errors will cause the validation to fail. A job passed validation will be able to be submitted. This command works for pipeline jobs only for now.
az ml job validate --file
