Course Overview
The Microsoft course 20776A: Performing Big Data Engineering on Microsoft Cloud Services is designed for data engineers, analytics professionals, and cloud architects who aim to build end-to-end big data solutions on Azure. Aligned with the now-retired Exam 70-776, this course provided foundational skills for the MCSA: Data Engineering with Azure certification. It served roles such as Data Engineer, Big Data Analyst, and Cloud Data Architect, addressing core responsibilities in designing scalable data processing systems. As of 2018, Microsoft reported that over 95% of Fortune 500 companies used Azure services, underscoring the demand for skilled professionals in Azure-based data engineering.
This hands-on course covered key Microsoft Azure technologies including Azure Stream Analytics, Azure Data Lake Store, Azure Data Lake Analytics, Azure SQL Data Warehouse, and Azure Data Factory. Participants engaged in practical lab exercises within the Azure Portal, where they built complete data processing pipelines—from ingesting real-time event streams to storing and analyzing large datasets. A central project involved designing a Lambda architecture to process telemetry data using Azure Stream Analytics for real-time insights and Azure Data Lake Analytics for batch processing. Students also configured data workflows in Azure Data Factory to automate ETL processes, gaining direct experience in orchestrating complex data integration tasks across cloud services.
Although the MCSA: Data Engineering with Azure certification has been retired and integrated into role-based credentials like the Azure Data Engineer Associate, the skills from 20776A remain highly relevant in today’s data-driven landscape.
