It has many popular data science and other tools pre-installed and pre-configured to jump-start building intelligent applications for advanced analytics.

The Test Drive will provide full access to you own instance of the VM with just a free Microsoft account - No Azure subscription or credit card needed.

About this Repo

This repo features tools, tips and extensions (see below) to the Data Science VM. We invite the DSVM user community to contribute any useful tools, scripts, or extensions you may have written to enhance the user experience on the DSVM.

About Extensions

Azure Resource manager (ARM) provides a capability to define extensions for resources like Virtual Machines. VM Extensions are scripts that are run during the deployment of a VM to install additional pieces of software or reconfigure the VM to your needs or to comply with specific IT policies your company may have.
