In this course, the students will design various data platform technologies into solutions that are in line with business and technical requirements. This can include on-premises, cloud, and hybrid data scenarios which incorporate relational, No-SQL, or Data Warehouse data. They will also learn how to design process architectures using a range of technologies for both streaming and batch data.
The students will also explore how to design data security including data access, data policies, and standards. They will also design Azure data solutions which include the optimization, availability, and disaster recovery of big data, batch processing, and streaming data solutions.
The audience for this course is data professionals, data architects, and business intelligence professionals who want to learn about the data platform technologies that exist on Microsoft Azure.
The secondary audience for this course is individuals who develop applications that deliver content from the data platform technologies that exist on Microsoft Azure.
In addition to their professional experience, students who take this training should have technical knowledge equivalent to the following courses:
After completing this course, students will be able to:
Module 1 - Data Platform Architecture Considerations
In this module, the students will learn how to design and build secure, scalable, and performant solutions in Azure by examining the core principles found in every good architecture. They will learn how using key principles throughout your architecture regardless of technology choice, can help you design, build, and continuously improve your architecture for an organization's benefit.

Module 2 - Azure Batch Processing Reference Architectures
In this module, the student will learn the reference design and architecture patterns for dealing with the batch processing of data. The student will be exposed to dealing with the movement of data from on-premises systems into a cloud data warehouse and how it can be automated. The student will also be exposed to an AI architecture and how the data platform can integrate with an AI solution.

Module 3 - Azure Real-Time Reference Architectures
In this module, the student will learn the reference design and architecture patterns for dealing with streaming data. They will learn how streaming data can be ingested by Event Hubs and Stream Analytics to deliver real-time analysis of data. They will also explore a data science architecture the streams data into Azure Databricks to perform trend analysis. They will finally learn how an Internet of Things (IoT) architecture will require data platform technologies to store data.
