Administering Microsoft Azure SQL Solutions DP-300
The DP-300 Administering Microsoft Azure SQL Solutions Course is designed to teach IT professionals and database administrators how to manage and monitor Azure SQL-based solutions, including Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance. During the course, participants will learn to leverage different Azure features and services to ensure the availability, security and performance of SQL solutions. One of the main objectives of the course is to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the deployment and configuration options available for Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance. They will learn to manage and monitor database resources using Azure tools and services, such as Azure Portal, Azure PowerShell, Azure CLI, and Azure Monitor. Another important focus of the course is performance optimization and management of database resources. Participants will learn how to monitor and optimize database performance, manage indexes and queries, and allocate resources effectively to ensure scalability and reliability of SQL solutions. Finally, the course covers backup and recovery strategies, teaching participants how to plan, implement and monitor backup and recovery solutions to ensure business continuity and data protection in the event of a failure or data loss. The course helps prepare for the Azure Database Administrator Certification exam .
