Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals

Course ID : DP-900T00-A

In this course, learners will learn the fundamentals of database concepts in a cloud environment, get basic skilling in cloud data services, and build their foundational knowledge of cloud data services within Microsoft Azure.

Learners will identify and describe core data concepts such as relational, non-relational, big data, and analytics, and explore how this technology is implemented with Microsoft Azure.

They will explore the roles, tasks, and responsibilities in the world of data. The learners will explore relational data offerings, provisioning and deploying relational databases, and querying relational data through cloud data solutions with Microsoft Azure.

They will explore non-relational data offerings, provisioning and deploying non-relational databases, and non-relational data stores with Microsoft Azure. Learners will explore the processing options available for building data analytics solutions in Azure.

They will explore Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Databricks, and Azure HDInsight.

Learners will learn what Power BI is, including its building blocks and how they work together.
