Summary

Implementing an Azure Data Solution

In this course, the students will implement various data platform technologies into solutions that are in-line with business and technical requirements, including on-premises, cloud, and hybrid data scenarios incorporating both relational and NoSQL data. They will also learn how to process data using a range of technologies and languages for both streaming and batch data.

The students will also explore how to implement data security, including authentication, authorization, data policies, and standards. They will also define and implement data solution monitoring for both the data storage and data processing activities. Finally, they will manage and troubleshoot Azure data solutions which includes the optimization and disaster recovery of big data, batch processing, and streaming data solutions.
