-# Azure Machine Learning service example notebooks
+# Azure Machine Learning Python SDK notebooks
 
 > a community-driven repository of examples using mlflow for tracking can be found at https://github.com/Azure/azureml-examples
 
-This repository contains example notebooks demonstrating the [Azure Machine Learning](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/machine-learning-service/) Python SDK which allows you to build, train, deploy and manage machine learning solutions using Azure.  The AML SDK allows you the choice of using local or cloud compute resources, while managing and maintaining the complete data science workflow from the cloud.
+Welcome to the Azure Machine Learning Python SDK notebooks repository!
 
-![Azure ML Workflow](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/master/articles/machine-learning/media/concept-azure-machine-learning-architecture/workflow.png)
+## Getting started
 
+These notebooks are recommended for use in an Azure Machine Learning [Compute Instance](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/machine-learning/concept-compute-instance), where you can run them without any additional set up.
 
-## Quick installation
-```sh
-pip install azureml-sdk
-```
-Read more detailed instructions on [how to set up your environment](./NBSETUP.md) using Azure Notebook service, your own Jupyter notebook server, or Docker.
-
-## How to navigate and use the example notebooks?
-If you are using an Azure Machine Learning Notebook VM, you are all set. Otherwise, you should always run the [Configuration](./configuration.ipynb) notebook first when setting up a notebook library on a new machine or in a new environment. It configures your notebook library to connect to an Azure Machine Learning workspace, and sets up your workspace and compute to be used by many of the other examples. 
-This [index](./index.md) should assist in navigating the Azure Machine Learning notebook samples and encourage efficient retrieval of topics and content. 
-
-If you want to...
-
- * ...try out and explore Azure ML, start with image classification tutorials: [Part 1 (Training)](./tutorials/image-classification-mnist-data/img-classification-part1-training.ipynb) and [Part 2 (Deployment)](./tutorials/image-classification-mnist-data/img-classification-part2-deploy.ipynb).
- * ...learn about experimentation and tracking run history: [track and monitor experiments](./how-to-use-azureml/track-and-monitor-experiments).
- * ...train deep learning models at scale, first learn about [Machine Learning Compute](./how-to-use-azureml/training/train-on-amlcompute/train-on-amlcompute.ipynb), and then try [distributed hyperparameter tuning](./how-to-use-azureml/ml-frameworks/pytorch/train-hyperparameter-tune-deploy-with-pytorch/train-hyperparameter-tune-deploy-with-pytorch.ipynb) and [distributed training](./how-to-use-azureml/ml-frameworks/pytorch/distributed-pytorch-with-horovod/distributed-pytorch-with-horovod.ipynb).
- * ...deploy models as a realtime scoring service, first learn the basics by [deploying to Azure Container Instance](./how-to-use-azureml/deployment/deploy-to-cloud/model-register-and-deploy.ipynb), then learn how to [production deploy models on Azure Kubernetes Cluster](./how-to-use-azureml/deployment/production-deploy-to-aks/production-deploy-to-aks.ipynb).
- * ...deploy models as a batch scoring service: [create Machine Learning Compute for scoring compute](./how-to-use-azureml/training/train-on-amlcompute/train-on-amlcompute.ipynb) and [use Machine Learning Pipelines to deploy your model](https://aka.ms/pl-batch-scoring).
- * ...monitor your deployed models, learn about using [App Insights](./how-to-use-azureml/deployment/enable-app-insights-in-production-service/enable-app-insights-in-production-service.ipynb).
-
-## Tutorials
-
-The [Tutorials](./tutorials) folder contains notebooks for the tutorials described in the [Azure Machine Learning documentation](https://aka.ms/aml-docs).
-  
-## How to use Azure ML
+However, the notebooks can be run in any development environment with the correct `azureml` packages installed.
 
-The [How to use Azure ML](./how-to-use-azureml) folder contains specific examples demonstrating the features of the Azure Machine Learning SDK
+Install the `azureml.core` Python package:
 
-- [Training](./how-to-use-azureml/training) - Examples of how to build models using Azure ML's logging and execution capabilities on local and remote compute targets
-- [Training with ML and DL frameworks](./how-to-use-azureml/ml-frameworks) - Examples demonstrating how to build and train machine learning models at scale on Azure ML and perform hyperparameter tuning.
-- [Manage Azure ML Service](./how-to-use-azureml/manage-azureml-service) - Examples how to perform tasks, such as authenticate against Azure ML service in different ways.
-- [Automated Machine Learning](./how-to-use-azureml/automated-machine-learning) - Examples using Automated Machine Learning to automatically generate optimal machine learning pipelines and models
-- [Machine Learning Pipelines](./how-to-use-azureml/machine-learning-pipelines) - Examples showing how to create and use reusable pipelines for training and batch scoring
-- [Deployment](./how-to-use-azureml/deployment) - Examples showing how to deploy and manage machine learning models and solutions
-- [Azure Databricks](./how-to-use-azureml/azure-databricks) - Examples showing how to use Azure ML with Azure Databricks
-- [Reinforcement Learning](./how-to-use-azureml/reinforcement-learning) - Examples showing how to train reinforcement learning agents
+```sh
+pip install azureml-core
+```
