azureml-defaults
Is a metapackage that is used internally by Azure Machine Learning
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are deploying or working within Azure Machine Learning environments and need the standard runtime stack. No, if you are building standalone Python applications outside Azure ML—install the specific dependencies directly instead. Check Azure ML documentation to confirm this package is appropriate for your use case, as it is primarily an internal metapackage.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Python version support is unspecified; consult Azure ML documentation for compatible Python versions.
- Low install friction with three runtime dependencies.
- Actively maintained as of 2026-02-25, though repository metadata is not publicly available.

What it is and what it does
azureml-defaults is a metapackage—a thin wrapper that declares and installs a fixed set of Azure Machine Learning runtime dependencies. It bundles azureml-inference-server-http, azureml-core, and azureml-dataset-runtime, ensuring that the correct versions of these libraries are installed together. The package is designed for internal use within Azure Machine Learning environments rather than as a standalone tool for end users.
When installed, it pulls in the three runtime dependencies needed for Azure ML inference servers and dataset handling. It has low install friction and is actively maintained, but its license terms are not clearly specified in standard SPDX form, and Python version compatibility is not explicitly declared.
Use it for
- Setting up an Azure ML inference server environment by installing all required runtime dependencies at once
- Ensuring version consistency across azureml-core, azureml-inference-server-http, and azureml-dataset-runtime in an Azure ML deployment
- Bootstrapping an Azure ML compute instance or container with the standard runtime stack
