By the end of this course, you will be able to analyze an organization's needs and recommend a comprehensive optimization strategy that improves performance while managing costs.
-
In this course, you will focus on implementing data governance, security controls, and real-time analytics capabilities in Microsoft Fabric. You will set up Microsoft Purview for data cataloging and lineage, configure security with Microsoft Entra ID, and develop event-driven data solutions. The course also covers compliance readiness, monitoring, and advanced data mirroring techniques, providing hands-on experience with EventStreams, Data Activator, and Azure Stream Analytics. By the end of the course, you will have a comprehensive toolkit for building secure, compliant, and responsive data platforms.
-
This course teaches you how to build and manage data warehouses and pipelines using Microsoft Fabric. You will get hands-on experience by creating data warehouses, designing schemas, and developing ETL/ELT pipelines with Data Factory. The course covers the use of T-SQL for data transformations and incorporates version control for data workflows, ensuring you can manage production environments confidently. By the end of this course, you will be able to orchestrate data pipelines, implement security, and handle data-to-insights workflows from ingestion through security and deployment.
-
In this course, you will focus on the practical implementation of a Lakehouse architecture using Microsoft Fabric. You will design and build a Lakehouse with Delta tables, implement medallion architecture patterns, and develop data ingestion strategies. The course covers ACID principles, query endpoints, and security controls, providing you with hands-on experience in creating a complete Lakehouse environment with appropriate security. By the end of the course, you will be able to implement a functional and secure enterprise Lakehouse solution, with a focus on data governance and mastery of the Microsoft Fabric platform.
-
This course introduces the core concepts of modern data architecture and the evolution from traditional data warehouses to cloud-native lakehouses. You will explore the essential components of Microsoft Fabric and learn how to design modular architectures with OneLake as the foundation. The course covers setting up OneLake, working with different data formats, and implementing advanced virtualization techniques. By the end of this course, you will understand the fundamentals of a modern data architecture and be able to design a comprehensive blueprint for a data solution.
