 ## Azure ML Compute instance
 
 Although it is possible to install Azure Machine Learning on your local computer, it is recommended to utilize [Azure's ML Compute instances](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/concept-compute-instance), fully managed and secure development environments that can also serve as a [compute target](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/concept-compute-target?view=azureml-api-2) for ML training.
 
-The compute instance provides an integrated Jupyter notebook service, JupyterLab, Azure ML Python SDK, CLI, and other essential [tools](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/concept-compute-target?view=azureml-api-2).
