Course Introduction

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing service built by Microsoft for creating, testing, deploying, and managing applications through data centres managed by Microsoft. This Azure Big Data certification course covers various cloud analytics options available on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. It includes detailed studies of data analytics services like HDInsight, Apache Spark, Jupyter, Zeppelin, Stream Analytics, and Azure Synapse Analytics — the unified analytics platform that brings together data integration, big data analytics, and data warehousing, and which now serves the role previously played by the retired Azure Data Lake Analytics service. Most organisations today seek deeper analysis of accessible data to enhance their decision-making process and increase the probability of success. Azure analytics services help you derive useful insights from big data, whether it is real-time or gathered over time. 

This Azure Big Data Analytics Training course has been expanded from its original 3-day format to a full 5 days, reflecting the substantial hands-on technical content covered — including practical, build-and-deploy work across data storage, data factories, scripting, HDInsight, and hosting services — which requires more time to deliver effectively than a condensed format allows.
