Overview

This course teaches the requirements for the Microsoft Certificate DP-300 “Administering Relational Databases on Microsoft Azure“, and focuses on administrating Azure SQL Databases, Azure SQL Managed Instances, and SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines.

We concentrate for most of the course on Azure SQL Databases, and then look at the additional functionality for Managed Instances and SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines.

Some prior knowledge is required, but not much. You’ll need to know how to use the Select statement; and it would be helpful, but not essential, if you had a little background in Microsoft Azure.

Additionally, prior knowledge of Azure, such as that shown in Microsoft’s DP-900 exam is helpful, but is not required.

Once you have completed this course, you will have a good knowledge of how to administer Azure SQL Databases, Azure SQL Managed Instances, and SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines. And with some practice, you could even go for the official Microsoft certification DP-300 – wouldn’t that look good on your CV or resume?

Completing this course will help you:

  • Plan and implement data platform resources
  • Monitor and optimize operational resources
  • Perform automation of tasks
  • Perform administration by using T-SQL
  • Implement a secure environment
  • Optimize query performance
  • Plan and implement a High Availability and Disaster Recovery (HADR) environment

Who is the course for?

This course is for you if you want to implement or manage the operational aspects of cloud-native and hybrid data platform solutions built on Azure Data Services and SQL Server

You could be a database administrator or data management specialist that manage on-premises and cloud relational databases built with Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Azure Data Services

By the end of this course, after entering the official Practice Tests, you could enter (and hopefully pass) Microsoft’s official DP-300 exam.

“Must say i didn’t expect to to provide such thorough Azure flavor from DBA standpoint….most of the courses on Udemy do have azure courses but they are from system admin standpoint(with dba portion added here n there)….this course is nicely crafted and most of nuances are explained clearly….also, there’s a pdf in resources which has the notes & its something to hold on to for quick reference for future…Thank you much for the course!!!”
