Course Description

Course Overview

The Migrate Open Source Data Workloads to Azure course is a specialized program designed to provide IT professionals with the knowledge and skills to migrate open-source data workloads, such as databases, analytics solutions, and big data platforms, to Microsoft Azure. This course focuses on teaching participants various migration strategies, tools, and best practices to ensure a smooth and successful migration process. Participants will learn how to assess their open-source data workloads, plan for migration, execute the migration, and validate the results, enabling them to leverage Azure’s cloud services for their open-source data solutions.

Prerequisites

This course is intended for IT professionals with a solid understanding of open-source data solutions, such as databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), analytics platforms (Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, etc.), and big data technologies. Participants should also have basic knowledge of Microsoft Azure services.

Methodology

The Migrate Open Source Data Workloads to Azure course follows an interactive and hands-on approach. The course includes theoretical lectures, practical demonstrations, group discussions, and hands-on labs. Instructors will provide real-world scenarios to help participants apply migration concepts in practice.
