Enterprise Data Management and Analytics on Azure

Large organizations face immense challenges when scaling their data infrastructure to support thousands of users and petabytes of data. This text-only course guides you through the foundational patterns and architectures needed to build a robust, enterprise-grade data platform. You will transition from understanding basic cloud storage to designing sophisticated, secure, and decentralized data landing zones. By exploring real-world architectural scenarios, you will gain the confidence to structure data domains, implement robust governance, and prepare your organization for modern analytics and AI integration. What you'll learn: 1. Understand the core principles of cloud-scale analytics and data mesh architectures. 2. Design secure and isolated data landing zones to manage enterprise data at scale. 3. Configure data governance, lineage, and cataloging to ensure compliance and quality. 4. Apply modern data integration workflows, including preparing data pipelines for AI and machine learning. 5. Practice structuring data subscription models and access control policies. The course begins with essential terminology and the conceptual shift from monolithic data warehouses to decentralized data meshes. You will then progress through step-by-step written analyses of subscription models, security baselines, and governance frameworks. This course is designed for aspiring data architects, cloud engineers, and IT professionals new to enterprise data strategy. No prior cloud architecture experience is required.
