Passing the DP-900 Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals exam opens the door to a myriad of opportunities for working with data services in the cloud. But it is not an easy exam and you’ll need a guide to set you up for success and prepare you for a career in Microsoft Azure.
Absolutely everything you need to pass the DP-900 exam is covered in this concise handbook. After an introductory chapter covering the core terms and concepts, you’ll go through the various roles related to working with data in the cloud and learn the similarities and differences between relational and non-relational databases.
