DP-300T00-A: Implement Scalable Database Solutions Using Azure SQL Course Overview

The DP-300T00: Administering Microsoft Azure SQL Solutions course provides a structured methodology for professionals aspiring to the Azure Database Administrator role. This training teaches a systematic approach to administering the data platform technologies available on Microsoft Azure. The curriculum is designed to build verifiable, critical skills in SQL Server management.

Participants will formulate and test hypotheses related to:

• Planning and implementing data platform resources.

• Managing and securing data in the SQL database Azure cloud.

• Monitoring and optimizing operational resources.

• Optimizing query performance for Microsoft SQL Server.

• Automating routine database tasks.

This comprehensive curriculum provides in-depth knowledge of various Azure SQL platforms. It critically analyzes the empirical differences between Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), which offers greater control at the cost of increased management overhead, and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), which streamlines administration but offers less granular control. A core component of the training involves hands-on labs using the Azure Portal and SQL Server Management Studio to deploy and manage a Microsoft Azure SQL Database. The course is widely available through official Microsoft partners.
