Big Data Solutions in Azure

Introduction:

Analyzing big data is a challenge, requiring lots of processing power and storage.

Cloud Computing is an ideal platform to tackle this problem. HD Insight on Microsoft Azure deploys Hadoop and other open source big data tools to the cloud, making it easier to take advantage of the high scalability of this platform.

In this session, you will learn what tools are available in HD Insight and how to use them to store, process, and analyze large amounts of data. Among other things, I will show several examples of Jupyter notebooks deployed on Apache Spark clusters hosted in the cloud.
