They will also define, design and implement Azure data solutions which includes the optimization, availability and disaster recovery of big data, batch processing and streaming data solutions. 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.

OBJECTIVES

Rampup in order to pass for for exam DP-203: Data Engineering on Microsoft Azure. When you pass for this exam you obtain the Microsoft Role-Based Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Engineer Associate certificate.

AUDIENCE

Azure Data Engineers help stakeholders understand the data through exploration, and they build and maintain secure and compliant data processing pipelines by using different tools and techniques. These professionals use various Azure data services and languages to store and produce cleansed and enhanced datasets for analysis.

Azure Data Engineers also help ensure that data pipelines and data stores are high-performing, efficient, organized, and reliable, given a set of business requirements and constraints. They deal with unanticipated issues swiftly, and they minimize data loss. They also design, implement, monitor, and optimize data platforms to meet the data pipelines needs.

PREREQUISITES

Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) or an equivalent of this course.
Candidates for this course (and the related exam) should have subject matter expertise integrating, transforming, and consolidating data from various structured and unstructured data systems into a structure that is suitable for building analytics solutions. In addition to their professional experience, candidates who take this course should have technical knowledge equivalent to the DP-900 Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals course.
