Description
I find it more convenient to specify additional conda dependencies in a conda_env.yaml file rather then using conda_packages in the Estimator constructor.
The documentation warns me for the conda_dependencies_file parameter: ...If specified, Azure ML will not install any framework related packages. But I could not find a list of these "framework related packages", which are needed, for example, to mount datastores properly. It turns out, including azureml-defaults in the pip dependencies section of the conda yaml files gives me all the functionality I need, but there might be other packages that I missed but would be necessary for other use cases.
Therefore, I would suggest to add a link in the documentation of the conda_dependencies_file parameter to a complete list of these "framework related packages".
