Dipping Your Toes In: Azure Data Lake for DBAs ~ Bob Pusateri

Details

As a data professional, you know what data is, and hopefully, know what a lake is too. But what's a Data Lake? This session covers the very basics of Azure Data Lake and is geared towards those who are familiar with relational databases and also curious about other technologies. Topics covered will include Data Lake storage, security basics, common file formats, usage patterns, and anti-patterns. We will also take a brief look at U-SQL, Azure Data Lake Analytics' query language, and perform some demonstrations using Azure Databricks, a popular big data analysis solution. We will finish up with architecture examples showing real-world use cases highlighting Azure Data Lake's strengths. Attend this session to see how Azure Data Lake can complement your existing relational database skills, and give you a great new tool in your data toolbox!
