Common functionalities wrapping

[FlorianPydde]

As you see our github repositories, there are some similar functionalities like

https://github.com/microsoft/dstoolkit-classification-solution-accelerator/blob/main/src/utils.py
and
https://github.com/microsoft/dstoolkit-mlops-base/blob/main/src/utils.py

They define common functions like generating Workspace, getting Datasets etc.

The proposition is to come up with a pypi package that utilizes common functionalities (see attached ppt)

FlorianPydde , thanks for raising my opinion as discussion here. Yes, in order to avoid double maintenance, we need to sort out the common functions as standardized one.
As far as I assumed, PyPI should be the 1st candidate for it, I guessed.

Although it's a good idea, I see the following challenges: the util file is basically a wrapper around AML sdk functionalities. Hence, whoever maintains the creates maintains the package would have to monitor changes to the sdk.

[Kyoichi Iwasaki (kyoro1)]

That's right. The situation is the same, even if we adopt the current implementation, isn't it? In current situation, we have to monitor 2 repositories...
Of course, if we adopt them, please forget my suggestion. Every opinion has each merit/demerit in nature.

Can't we propose adding this upstream, i.e. into the AML SDK?
