To fast track the development of an Artificial-Intelligence based application deployed on Azure and make use of Azure-based services during the development phase, you would typically use Azure Cognitive Services (Option B). Azure Cognitive Services provide pre-built AI capabilities, including vision, speech, language, and decision-making capabilities, which can be easily integrated into your application to add AI functionalities without having to build them from scratch.
While the other options like Azure Advisor (Option A), Azure Application Insights (Option C), and Azure DevOps (Option D) are valuable Azure services, they serve different purposes:
- Azure Advisor provides recommendations for optimizing your Azure resources for cost, performance, and security but doesn't directly aid in AI development.
- Azure Application Insights is primarily for monitoring and analyzing the performance of your application, which is important but not specifically for AI development.
- Azure DevOps is a set of development tools and services for software development, including version control and CI/CD pipelines. While it's essential for application development, it's not an AI-specific service.
So, for fast-tracking AI development, Azure Cognitive Services is the most appropriate choice among these options.
