Azure Databricks is a fully managed, cloud-based data analytics platform, which empowers developers to accelerate AI and innovation by simplifying the process of building enterprise-grade data applications. Built as a joint effort by Microsoft and the team that started Apache Spark, Azure Databricks provides data science, engineering, and analytical teams with a single platform for big data processing and machine learning. In this course, you’ll learn how to use Azure Databricks to train and deploy machine learning models.

This course teaches developers to utilize Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL API and SDK. Students will learn query execution, resource configuration, SDK operations, and design strategies for non-relational data modeling and data partitioning.

This learning path prepares you for the task of developing data-driven applications by using Microsoft Azure SQL Database. You'll learn how to create and configure an Azure SQL Database, build and deploy database projects using GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines, and automate the publishing process. Additionally, you'll explore how to use Data API builder for Azure SQL Database and develop a data API with Azure Web Apps and Static Web App. Furthermore, you'll gain skills in importing data via an external REST endpoint, exporting data using an Azure Function, and securing an Azure SQL Database. These essential skills will empower you to effectively develop and manage applications using Azure SQL Database.

Azure Database for PostgreSQL is a Platform as a Service database service in the Microsoft cloud. It bases itself on the PostgreSQL open-source relational database and includes built-in high availability, automatic backup and restore, as well as comprehensive security features. The pay-as-you-go pricing model provides predictable performance and near-instant scaling. In this learning path, you learn the main features of PostgreSQL and how they work in Azure Database for PostgreSQL. You learn about the different Azure Database for PostgreSQL implementation options, and how to configure a server for your needs.

This course covers generative AI engineering on Azure Databricks, using Spark to explore, fine-tune, evaluate, and integrate advanced language models. It teaches how to implement techniques like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and multi-stage reasoning, as well as how to fine-tune large language models for specific tasks and evaluate their performance. Students will also learn about responsible AI practices for deploying AI solutions and how to manage models in production using LLMOps (Large Language Model Operations) on Azure Databricks.
