This chapter has covered the installation of Machine Learning Services (in-database), the configuration of the services and how to administrate the services. It has also explored the installation of missing packages and covered security and the resource governor. In the last section, the chapter also gives an explanation of how to use external procedures and the sp_execute_external_script with all arguments. Several examples have been covered through digging into security issues and the installation of missing packages. The installation of missing packages was heavily dependent on the article in SQLServerCentral.
An introduction to machine learning services and using an external procedure will be the foundation for all of the following chapters, which will all heavily rely on a good understanding of configuring and using this procedure.
