The focus of this three-day, instructor-led course is on designing and implementing cloud data platform solutions with the Microsoft Data Platform by using SQL Server on-premises, hybrid and cloud data platform solutions.

It describes how to design and implement and optimize workloads in hybrid scenarios with both on-premises and Microsoft Azure cloud-based solutions, and how to implement high availability and disaster recovery solutions.

This course is targeted as technical readiness materials in preparation for Exam 70-473: Design and Implement Cloud Data Platform Solutions.

After completing this course, students will be able to: Position Microsoft Cloud Data Platform Solutions, Design and implement solutions on Azure using SQL Server, Design and implement solutions on Azure using SQL Database, Design and implement security, access and auditing for cloud data platform solutions, Design highly scalable mission critical solutions using the Microsoft Data Platform and Design and implement cloud data platform solutions.


Course Pre-requisites

The primary audience for this course are database professionals who want to enhance their existing SQL Server skills with hybrid solutions and cloud solution architecture using the Microsoft Data Platform. Targeted candidates have a good understanding of SQL Server and pre-existing certification MCSE Data Platform or equivalent experience.
