Data analysis refers to the process of obtaining, cleaning, and analyzing data, often times in a visual manner, to derive insights for better decision making. More and more data is being stored in databases in the cloud so it is important to have a strategy for understanding, managing and accessing such data. One popular tool for accessing and visualizing data is Power Bi.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at technical persons who wish to gain a practical understanding of available cloud solutions, the data analysis processes needed to work with data in the cloud, and the hands-on practice to apply tools such as Power BI to analyze data.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Power BI.
• Evaluate the various data solutions offered by cloud providers such as Azure.
• Gain an understanding of the different structures, modeling approaches, and data warehouse designs used to store, manage and access Big Data.
• Apply tools and techniques to clean data in preparation for analysis.
• Build reporting and analytics solutions based on on-premise as well as cloud data.
• Integrate data analytics solutions with a data warehouse.
• Mitigate data security risks and ensure data privacy.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

Audience

Software Engineer/Computer Scientists with adequate concepts of algorithms and
familiarity with at least one programming/scripting language but without any experience of Cloud
Computing

Duration

3 days (7 hours / day)

Day 1 - provides end-to-end coverage of fundamental cloud computing topics as they relate to both technology and business. The module is divided into a series of sections, each of which is accompanied by a hands-on exercise.

Day 2 - explores technology-related topics that relate to cloud computing platforms. It does not get into implementation or programming details, but instead keeps coverage at a conceptual level, focusing on topics that address cloud service architecture, cloud security threats and technologies, virtualization and data processing.

Day 3 - provides a technical insight into foundational cloud computing platforms. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environments are explored as compound patterns, comprised of unique and shared building blocks. This module is structured as a guided tour through these architectural layers, describing primary components, highlighting shared components and explaining how building blocks can be assembled and implemented via cloud computing mechanisms and practices

Day 4 - builds upon Day 3 to provide a deep dive into elastic, resilient and multitenant technology architectures, as well as specialized solution architectures, such as cloud bursting and cloud balancing. Through the study of architectural mechanisms, industry technologies and design patterns, both core and extended components are described that combine to realize elasticity, resiliency and multitenancy as primary characteristics of cloud platforms. By leveraging these native and enhanced scalability and failover-related feature-sets, specialized solution architectures are described to enable bursting between clouds and on-premise and cloud environments, as well as the balancing of runtime loads across clouds for performance and failover purposes.

Day 5 - presents participants with a series of exercises and problems that are designed to test their ability to apply their knowledge of topics covered previously.

This course has been created for people who want to understand how to benefit from cloud computing. It uses Amazon EC2 example, but can be tailored to other providers.

Audience

IT architects, mid-level IT managers, IT consultants
