Key benefits

  • Get the knowledge you need to pass the DP-900 exam on your first attempt
  • Gain fundamental knowledge of the core concepts of working with data in Azure cloud data services
  • Learn through a practical approach and test yourself with mock exams at the end of the book

Description

Passing the DP-900 Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals exam opens the door to a myriad of opportunities for working with data services in the cloud. But it is not an easy exam and you'll need a guide to set you up for success and prepare you for a career in Microsoft Azure. Absolutely everything you need to pass the DP-900 exam is covered in this concise handbook. After an introductory chapter covering the core terms and concepts, you'll go through the various roles related to working with data in the cloud and learn the similarities and differences between relational and non-relational databases. This foundational knowledge is crucial, as you'll learn how to provision and deploy Azure's relational and non-relational services in detail later in the book. You'll also gain an understanding of how to glean insights with data analytics at both small and large scales, and how to visualize your insights with Power BI. Once you reach the end of the book, you'll be able to test your knowledge with practice tests with detailed explanations of the correct answers. By the end of this book, you will be armed with the knowledge and confidence to not only pass the DP-900 exam but also have a solid foundation from which to embark on a career in Azure data services.

Who is this book for?

This book is for data engineers, database administrators, or aspiring data professionals getting ready to take the DP-900 exam. It will also be helpful for those looking for a bit of guidance on how to be better equipped for Azure-related job roles such as Azure database administrator or Azure data engineer. A basic understanding of core data concepts and relational and non-relational data will help you make the most out of this book, but they're not a pre-requisite.

What you will learn

  • Explore the concepts of IaaS and PaaS database services on Azure
  • Query, insert, update, and delete relational data using SQL
  • Explore the concepts of data warehouses in Azure
  • Perform data analytics with an Azure Synapse Analytics workspace
  • Upload and retrieve data in Azure Cosmos DB and Azure HDInsight
  • Provision and deploy non-relational data services in Azure
  • Contextualize the knowledge with real-life use cases
  • Test your progress with a mock exam

Highly recommended!!The book is very good for anyone starting to study the world of data or who are seeking the fundamental knowledge for successful projects using data. The first chapters are dedicated to the concepts necessary to understand modern technologies, the possibilities and techniques of databases and data analytics.The remaining chapters focus on hands-on exercises on Azure that help materialize the knowledge and give you the experience you need to get started with projects.Very good!I really liked the analogies used and the simple language, I feel prepared to do the DP-900 certification and embark on the data career.

If you are taking the DP 900 I highly recommend this certification guidebook! Now that I have passed the DP900 I plan to keep this book in my personal library for those times when I have data conversations and need a refresher. Again, I highly recommend this certification guide and the author did an awesome job!

I just finished reading this book and since I read it after taking my certification exam I can say that this is a great asset and it will definitely help you get your certification.It is well-written and it leverages many real world scenarios and use cases to make it easier to visualize all that is needed for the exam. Furthermore, the book covers all areas that Microsoft requires for the exam, they are split to make it easier to understand.I strongly believe that if use this book and some free Microsoft Learn courses, you will be well-prepared for DP-900 exam.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
