DP-420 is a four-day associate-level course for developers, data engineers, and solution architects. It focuses on authoring cloud-native solutions using the SQL API and SDK for Azure Cosmos.
During the course you will be introduced to the Azure Cosmos DB SQL API and discover how to create and configure your account, database, container and resources. You will learn how to configure throughput allocation and time-to-live values, plus how to migrate data using Azure services and Spark or Kafka. You will also build your understanding of how to integrate Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos SDK library from NuGet, connect to the account using SDK and .NET, and configure SDK for offline development and access and manage data.
Additionally, you will explore how to write and optimize queries, define and customize indexes, handle events, and archive data using Azure Functions. You will develop your knowledge of advanced modelling patterns, and partition and replication strategy. You will further learn how to measure performance, implement backup, and restore. Plus, you will explore how to use Azure Resource Manager (ARM) to manage an Azure Cosmos DB account and its child resources using JSON templates, Bicep templates, or the Azure CLI.
Overall, this course will prepare you for the DP-420 exam and set the base for other role-based courses and certifications. Entry for the exam is not included. However, you will get a clear overview of the Microsoft certification process, including tips and tricks, testing strategies, practice questions, and helpful information to help you pass the exam.
This course comprises 13 purposely designed modules that take you on a carefully defined learning journey.
It is an instructor-led course which runs to a fixed schedule, with set start and finish dates. It is driven forward by your instructor and features live sessions that are aired at a set time. You will, however, have time to complete certain activities at your own pace outside of the live sessions.
