Couple of remarks about course and training of Azure Data Solitions Free training materials (corseware) on FutureProof website
- Not the easiest one, but not so difficult if you compare it to AZ-300 even to AZ-103
- Broad range of technologies is covered in some depth
- No virtual labs :-(
- Databricks - spin up cluster, working with notebook, connecting to data, basic libraries, Spark, Python
- Storage - focus on Data Lake Gen 2 (but Gen 1 as well), loading blobs, using polybase, mounting to Databricks, security
- CosmosDB - scalability, avaliability, partitioning, RU
- Azure SQL RDBMS - more DW than SQL, Polybase, ADF load, partitioning (indexes, distributing tables to node), vCPU, DTU, DWU
- Stream Analytics - SU, IoT hub, Event hub/ Event grid, storage, azure functions
- ADF - basic concepts, transformations, SSIS
- Monitoring - Azure Log analytics, Alerts, Actions
- Security - how to secure data TDE, RLS, CLS, RBAC, AAD, keys, credentials
- Practice, practice, practice
- Exam does not have any labs, but if you will play with technology around, you will get most of the answers for the questions on the exam.
