 This can be caused by too many concurrent iterations for a remote DSVM.  Each concurrent iteration usually takes 100% of a core when it is running.  Some iterations can use multiple cores.  So, the max_concurrent_iterations setting should always be less than the number of cores of the DSVM.

For instance, the NYC energy demand data has an hourly frequency. A decision that requires a demand forecast to the hour is unlikely to be made weeks or months in advance, particularly if we expect weather to be a strong determinant of demand.

To use this procedure, you just need to specify the desired number of CV folds in the AutoMLConfig object.

+# Introduction
+SQL Server 2017 or 2019 can call Azure ML automated machine learning to create models trained on data from SQL Server.
+This uses the sp_execute_external_script stored procedure, which can call Python scripts.
+SQL Server 2017 and SQL Server 2019 can both run on Windows or Linux.
+However, this integration is not available for SQL Server 2017 on Linux. 
+
+This folder shows how to setup the integration and has a sample that uses the integration to train and predict based on an energy demand dataset.
+
+This integration is part of SQL Server and so can be used from any SQL client. 
+These instructions show using it from Azure Data Studio or SQL Server Managment Studio.
+
+<a name="azuredatastudiosetup"></a>
+## Setup using Azure Data Studio
+
+These step show setting up the integration using Azure Data Studio.
+
+1. If you don't already have SQL Server, you can install it from [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads)
+1. Install Azure Data Studio from [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/azure-data-studio/download?view=sql-server-2017](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/azure-data-studio/download?view=sql-server-2017)
+1. Start Azure Data Studio and connect to SQL Server. [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/azure-data-studio/sql-notebooks?view=sql-server-2017](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/azure-data-studio/sql-notebooks?view=sql-server-2017)
+1. Create a database named "automl".
+1. Open the notebook how-to-use-azureml\automated-machine-learning\sql-server\setup\auto-ml-sql-setup.ipynb and follow the instructions in it.
+
+ <a name="azuredatastudioenergydemand"></a>
+## Energy demand example using Azure Data Studio
+
+Once you have completed the setup, you can try the energy demand sample in the notebook energy-demand\auto-ml-sql-energy-demand.ipynb.
+This has cells to train a model, predict based on the model and show metrics for each pipeline run in training the model.
+
+<a name="ssms2017"></a>
+## Setup using SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2017 on Windows
+
+These instruction setup the integration for SQL Server 2017 on Windows.
+
+1. If you don't already have SQL Server, you can install it from [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads)
+2. Enable external scripts with the following commands: 
+```sh
+   sp_configure 'external scripts enabled',1 
+   reconfigure with override
+```
+3. Stop SQL Server. 
+4. Install the automated machine learning libraries using the following commands from Administrator command prompt (If you are using a non-default SQL Server instance name, replace MSSQLSERVER in the second command with the instance name)
+```sh
+   cd "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server"
+   cd "MSSQL14.MSSQLSERVER\PYTHON_SERVICES"
+   python.exe -m pip install azureml-sdk[automl]
+   python.exe -m pip install --upgrade numpy
+   python.exe -m pip install --upgrade sklearn
+```
+5. Start SQL Server and the service "SQL Server Launchpad service". 
+6. In Windows Firewall, click on advanced settings and in Outbound Rules, disable "Block network access for R local user accounts in SQL Server instance xxxx". 
+7. Execute the files in the setup folder in SQL Server Management Studio: aml_model.sql, aml_connection.sql, AutoMLGetMetrics.sql, AutoMLPredict.sql and AutoMLTrain.sql 
+8. Create an Azure Machine Learning Workspace.  You can use the instructions at: [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/how-to-manage-workspace ](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/how-to-manage-workspace)
+9. Create a config.json file file using the subscription id, resource group name and workspace name that you used to create the workspace.  The file is described at: [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/how-to-configure-environment#workspace](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/how-to-configure-environment#workspace)
+10. Create an Azure service principal.  You can do this with the commands: 
+```sh
+   az login 
+   az account set --subscription subscriptionid 
+   az ad sp create-for-rbac --name principlename --password password 
+```
+11. Insert the values \<tenant\>, \<AppId\> and \<password\> returned by create-for-rbac above into the aml_connection table.  Set \<path\> as the absolute path to your config.json file. Set the name to <20>Default<6C>. 
+ 
+<a name="ssms2019"></a>
+## Setup using SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2019 on Linux
+1. Install SQL Server 2019 from: [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads)
+2. Install machine learning support from: [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-setup-machine-learning?view=sqlallproducts-allversions#ubuntu](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-setup-machine-learning?view=sqlallproducts-allversions#ubuntu)
+3. Then install SQL Server management Studio from [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-2017](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-2017)
+4. Enable external scripts with the following commands: 
+```sh
+   sp_configure 'external scripts enabled',1 
+   reconfigure with override 
+```

+## Energy demand example using SQL Server Management Studio
+
+Once you have completed the setup, you can try the energy demand sample queries.
+First you need to load the sample data in the database.
+1. In SQL Server Management Studio, you can right-click the database, select Tasks, then Import Flat file. 
+1. Select the file MachineLearningNotebooks\notebooks\how-to-use-azureml\automated-machine-learning\forecasting-energy-demand\nyc_energy.csv. 
+1. When you get to the column definition page, allow nulls for all columns. 
+
+You can then run the queries in the energy-demand folder:
+* TrainEnergyDemand.sql runs AutoML, trains multiple models on data and selects the best model.
+* ForecastEnergyDemand.sql forecasts based on the most recent training run.
+* GetMetrics.sql returns all the metrics for each model in the most recent training run.
