Understand core data concepts, relational and non-relational data, transactional and analytical workloads, Azure SQL, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Storage, Azure Synapse Analytics, and data visualisation with Power BI — the perfect data literacy certification for any background.
No prior data experience required — DP-900 gives every professional a solid foundation in data concepts, Azure data services, and the fundamentals of analytics and visualisation.
DP-900 covers the foundational data concepts every professional needs — structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data types; relational and non-relational concepts; transactional and analytical workloads; Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, and Azure Storage services; large-scale analytics with Synapse, Databricks, and Fabric; real-time analytics; and data visualisation with Power BI.
Structured (tables, CSV), semi-structured (JSON, XML), and unstructured data. File formats, relational databases, and NoSQL stores.
Database administrators, data engineers, and data analysts — understand the distinct responsibilities of each data professional role.
Azure SQL Database, SQL Managed Instance, SQL on Azure VMs, and open-source database services (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB).
Describe Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, and Azure Data Factory for data warehousing. Understand batch vs streaming data and Azure real-time analytics services like Event Hubs and Stream Analytics.
Identify use cases for Cosmos DB and describe its APIs — Core SQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, Gremlin (graph), and Table API.
Identify Power BI capabilities, describe data models, and choose appropriate visualisations — bar, line, map, scatter, and matrix charts.
