Microsoft SQL – SQL Big Data

This SQL Big Data course focuses on one of SQL Server  most impactful features—SQL Big Data Clusters. You will learn about data virtualization and data lakes for this complete artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) platform within the SQL Server database engine. You will be shown how to use Big Data Clusters to combine large volumes of streaming data for analysis along with data stored in a traditional database. For instance, you can stream large volumes of data from Apache Spark in real-time while executing Transact-SQL queries to bring in relevant additional data from your corporate, SQL Server database.

About this online course

This course provides everything necessary to get started working with SQL Big Data Clusters in SQL Server . You will learn about the architectural foundations that are made up from Kubernetes, Spark, HDFS, and SQL Server on Linux. You will be shown how to configure and deploy Big Data Clusters. You will be ready to use and unveil the full potential of SQL Server : combining different types of data spread across widely disparate sources into a single view that is useful for business intelligence and machine learning analysis.
