Azure Data Factory Essentials Training

Azure Data Factory Essentials Training. Learn How to Build a Complete ETL Solution in Azure Data Factory & How to Integrate Pipelines with Azure Databricks

This course will introduce Azure Data Factory and how it can help in the batch processing of data. Students will learn with hands-on activities, quizzes, and a project, how Data Factory can be used to integrate many other technologies together to build a complete ETL solution, including a CI/CD pipeline in Azure DevOps. Some topics related to Data Factory required for the exam DP-203: Data Engineering on Microsoft Azure, are covered in this course.

Learn by Doing

Together, you and I are going to learn everything you need to know about using Microsoft Azure Data Factory. This course will prepare you with hands-on learning activities, videos, and quizzes to help you gain knowledge and practical experience as we go along.

At the end of this course, students will have the opportunity to submit a project that will help them to understand how ADF works, what are the components, and how to integrate ADF and Databricks.

Student key takeaways:

  • The student should understand how ADF orchestrates the features of other technologies to transform or analyze data.
  • The student should be able to explain and use the components that make up ADF.
  • The student should be able to integrate two or more technologies using ADF.
  • The student should be able to confidently create medium complex data-driven pipelines
  • The student should be able to develop a CI/CD pipeline in Azure DevOps to deploy Data Factory pipelines

What You’ll Learn:

  • Introduction to Azure Data Factory. You will understand how it can be used to integrate many other technologies with an ever-growing list of connectors.
  • How to set up a Data Factory from scratch using the Azure Portal and PowerShell.
  • Activities and Components that makeup Data Factory. It will include Pipelines, Datasets, Triggers, Linked Services, and more.
  • How to transform, ingest, and integrate data code-free using Mapping Data Flows.
  • How to integrate Azure Data Factory and Databricks. We’ll cover how to authenticate and run a few notebooks from within ADF.
  • Azure Data Factory Deployment using Azure DevOps for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD)
