Overview

Note: This course is designed for students who want to attain the "Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Engineer Associate" certificationThis practice test contains specially curated questions that will test your knowledge and give you 100% confidence in clearing the DP-203 examination. The questions being asked are created directly from Azure Documentation or present an application of data engineering scenarios.These questions are backed by thorough explanations and links to Microsoft documentation from where the question was framed. By taking these tests, you will be confident in facing any questions asked in the DP-203: Microsoft Azure Data Engineering Certification Test. The tests are regularly updated with Microsoft's addition or removal of topics in the testing areas.Why take Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Engineer Associate certificationAzure Data Engineers helps ensure that data pipelines and stores are high-performing, efficient, organized, and reliable, given business requirements and constraints. They deal with unanticipated issues swiftly, and they minimize data loss. They also design, implement, monitor, and optimize data platforms to meet the data pipelines' needs.All questions have a detailed explanation and link to reference materials to support the answers, ensuring the solutions' accuracy.The objectives covered in this course areSkills at a glanceDesign and implement data storage (15-20%)Develop data processing (40-45%)Secure, monitor, and optimize data storage and data processing (30-35%)Design and implement data storage (15-20%)Implement a partition strategyImplement a partition strategy for filesImplement a partition strategy for analytical workloadsImplement a partition strategy for streaming workloadsImplement a partition strategy for Azure Synapse AnalyticsIdentify when partitioning is needed in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2Design and implement the data exploration layerCreate and execute queries by using a compute solution that leverages SQL serverless and Spark clustersRecommend and implement Azure Synapse Analytics database templatesPush new or updated data lineage to Microsoft PurviewBrowse and search metadata in Microsoft Purview Data CatalogDevelop data processing (40-45%)Ingest and transform dataDesign and implement incremental data loadsTransform data by using Apache SparkTransform data by using Transact-SQL (T-SQL) in Azure Synapse AnalyticsIngest and transform data by using Azure Synapse Pipelines or Azure Data FactoryTransform data by using Azure Stream AnalyticsCleanse dataHandle duplicate dataAvoiding duplicate data by using Azure Stream Analytics Exactly Once DeliveryHandle missing dataHandle late-arriving dataSplit dataShred JSONEncode and decode dataConfigure error handling for a transformationNormalize and denormalize dataPerform data exploratory analysisDevelop a batch processing solutionDevelop batch processing solutions by using Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, Azure Databricks, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Azure Data FactoryUse PolyBase to load data to a SQL poolImplement Azure Synapse Link and query the replicated dataCreate data pipelinesScale resourcesConfigure the batch sizeCreate tests for data pipelinesIntegrate Jupyter or Python notebooks into a data pipelineUpsert batch dataRevert data to a previous stateConfigure exception handlingConfigure batch retentionRead from and write to a delta lakeDevelop a stream processing solutionCreate a stream processing solution by using Stream Analytics and Azure Event HubsProcess data by using Spark structured streamingCreate windowed aggregatesHandle schema driftProcess time series dataProcess data across partitionsProcess within one partitionConfigure checkpoints and watermarking during processingScale resourcesCreate tests for data pipelinesOptimize pipelines for analytical or transactional purposesHandle interruptionsConfigure exception handlingUpsert stream dataReplay archived stream dataRead from and write to a delta lakeManage batches and pipelinesTrigger batchesHandle failed batch loadsValidate batch loadsManage data pipelines in Azure Data Factory or Azure Synapse PipelinesSchedule data pipelines in Data Factory or Azure Synapse PipelinesImplement version control for pipeline artifactsManage Spark jobs in a pipelineSecure, monitor, and optimize data storage and data processing (30-35%)Implement data securityImplement data maskingEncrypt data at rest and in motionImplement row-level and column-level securityImplement Azure role-based access control (RBAC)Implement POSIX-like access control lists (ACLs) for Data Lake Storage Gen2Implement a data retention policyImplement secure endpoints (private and public)Implement resource tokens in Azure DatabricksLoad a DataFrame with sensitive informationWrite encrypted data to tables or Parquet filesManage sensitive informationMonitor data storage and data processingImplement logging used by Azure MonitorConfigure monitoring servicesMonitor stream processingMeasure performance of data movementMonitor and update statistics about data across a systemMonitor data pipeline performanceMeasure query performanceSchedule and monitor pipeline testsInterpret Azure Monitor metrics and logsImplement a pipeline alert strategyOptimize and troubleshoot data storage and data processingCompact small filesHandle skew in dataHandle data spillOptimize resource managementTune queries by using indexersTune queries by using cacheTroubleshoot a failed Spark jobTroubleshoot a failed pipeline run, including activities executed in external servicesCandidates for this exam should have subject matter expertise in integrating, transforming, and consolidating data from various structured and unstructured data systems into a structure that is suitable for building analytics solutions, alongside the knowledge of data processing languages such as SQL, Python, or Scala. They need to understand parallel processing and data architecture patterns."All the best for your exam."
