What is Data Science Workloads?

In terms of content, F #, Python Tools for Visual Studio (PTVS), R Tools for Visual Studio (RTVS) The image is that a data analysis toolkit such as .visualstudio.com/ja/vs/rtvs/) is bundled.

With this and Data storage and processing Workloads, you can do everything from data acquisition to analysis without leaving Visual Studio, creating a very clear environment. The details seem to be as follows, and the ones that were prepared separately as installation options so far are organized by use case. It's interesting that F # is included in Data Science Workloads, but it may be confusing to those who have used F # in some .NET apps.

• Data storage and processing – Big Data Storage and Advanced Analytics
• With SQL, HDInsight (Hadoop/Spark) and Azure Machine Learning you get a rich suite of technology focused on Enterprise level Analytics.
• Data Science – All the tooling you need to analyze, build models, and create smart apps
• Python Tools for Visual Studio – Desktop, Web, Scientific, Data Science/ML
• R Tools for Visual Studio – Primarily Stats and Data Science/ML
• F# – A functional-first .Net language suited for a variety of data processing tasks
