Investigate ML Flow

[heatherbshapiro]

We have integration with MLFlow to the AzureML Experimentation services so it would be good to investigate if we can use it throughout the repo and then show how to integrate with azureml
https://mlflow.org/

+1 - I've been using MLflow integration with a customer - it's a really fluid experience to use MLflow APIs, have access to workflows & reproducible experiments & use AML for a tracking server. Also users wouldn't be blocked on needing an Azure ML workspace or setting up an Azure sub - they can track to any MLflow server but it's "better with" Azure.

I can pick this task up. We are GAing the feature this week, after that I can start the integration with the repo. We need to scope out what the setup will be. I suspect we will set the logging up so that the notebook could be used for HyperDrive without user modifications and work locally by default

Possibly with a try caught azureml cell to showcase the simplicity of the integration
