Course Description

Course Overview

Designing and Implementing Cloud-Native Applications Using Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB (DP-420) is an advanced training program designed for application developers and architects to gain expertise in designing, building, and deploying cloud-native applications using Azure Cosmos DB, a globally distributed NoSQL database service on Microsoft Azure. Participants will learn how to model data, design scalable and resilient architectures, and implement advanced features of Azure Cosmos DB to create highly available and performant applications.

Prerequisites

To excel in this course, participants should have a strong understanding of application development concepts, including data modeling, APIs, and database design. Familiarity with cloud computing and Microsoft Azure services is highly recommended. Prior experience with NoSQL databases and distributed systems will be beneficial.

Methodology

The course will be delivered through a combination of instructor-led lectures, practical demonstrations, hands-on labs, and interactive discussions. Participants will have access to dedicated Azure Cosmos DB environments for hands-on practice, enabling them to apply the concepts learned in real-world scenarios. The course will be led by certified instructors with extensive experience in cloud-native application development and Azure Cosmos DB, ensuring a high-quality learning experience.
