DP-900 certification prep

Microsoft's foundational data credential — relational and non-relational concepts, Azure's data services, and analytics workloads, for anyone starting to work with data in the cloud.

Why DP-900 matters

DP-900 covers the vocabulary and services every Azure data role builds on: how to represent and store data, relational concepts and the Azure SQL family, non-relational services like Cosmos DB and Blob Storage, and the analytics landscape from Databricks and Fabric to Power BI. It's not a prerequisite for any other Azure data certification, but it's the fastest way to walk into a data engineer, database administrator, or analyst role already fluent in how Azure organizes data. First step of the new Microsoft Data & BI track, feeding directly into PL-300's hands-on analyst work.
