Microsoft Cloud Workshop: Big Data & Visualization 40502-G

This workshop is intended for Cloud Architects and IT professionals who have architectural expertise of infrastructure and solutions design in cloud technologies and want to learn more about Azure and Azure services as described in the 'About this Course' and 'At Course Completion' areas.  Those attending this workshop should also be experienced in other non-Microsoft cloud technologies, meet the course prerequisites, and want to cross-train on Azure.

 

Students will be better able to build a complete Azure Machine Learning (ML) model for predicting if an upcoming flight will experience delays. Students will also learn how to: 

• Integrate the Azure ML web service in a Web App for both one at a time and batch predictions
• Analyze batch data with SQL Data Warehouse
• Visualize batch predictions on a map using Power BI

 

Workshop content presumes 300-level of architectural expertise of infrastructure and solutions design. We suggest students take this prerequisite prior to attending this workshop.
