Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB Developer Specialty (DP-420) Cert Prep: 5 Maintain an Azure Cosmos DB Solution by Microsoft Press

Course details

Cosmos DB is Microsoft Azure's flagship non-relational database product. It supports multiple application programming interfaces (APIs) that provide compatibility with competing NoSQL databases. If you’re looking to integrate enterprise-scale, cloud-based, NoSQL databases into your organization’s IT solutions, you may want to think about getting certified as a Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB developer. In this course, the fifth in a five-part series, instructor Tim Warner gives an overview of the skills you need to master to tackle the fifth domain of the Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB Developer Specialty (DP-420) certification exam. Learn how to monitor and troubleshoot an Azure Cosmos DB solution, implement backup and restore when needed, manage security protocols, implement data movement solutions, and design and implement a successful DevOps process for an Azure Cosmos DB solution.
