Cursusbeschrijving

In deze training leer je kennis en vaardigheden om een relationele database infrastructuur te beheren voor cloud en hybride data platform oplossingen.

Je leert Azure SQL producten te plannen, in te stellen en uit te rollen. Natuurlijk leer je ook hoe je vervolgens de prestaties van deze producten controleert en verbetert zodat ze optimaal presteren. Je krijgt uiteindelijk ook kennis van en ervaring met het plannen en configureren van High Availability oplossingen.

Deze training sluit aan bij het examen DP-300 voor de certificering Microsoft Certified: Azure Database Administrator Associate. Examenvoucher is niet inbegrepen.

  • Implement a data sensitivity solution
  • ### Module 4: Monitor and Optimize Operational Resources
  • This module will teach you about resource optimization for your databases created using either IaaS or PaaS services. The module also covers monitoring server and hardware resources. It will familiarize you with the various tools available for monitoring performance and establishing a baseline. You will learn how to interpret performance metrics for the most critical resources. You will also learn how to troubleshoot database performance using Azure SQL Database Intelligent Insights.
  • Lessons
  • Baselines and Performance Monitoring
  • Major Causes of Performance Issues
  • Configuring Resources for Optimal Performance
  • User Database Configuration
  • Performance-related Maintenance Tasks
  • Lab : Monitor and Optimize Resources

  • After completing this module, students will:
  • Monitor activity and compare to a baseline
  • Define maintenance tasks related to performance
  • Identify major causes of performance problems
  • Configure resources for optimal performance
  • Configure a user database for optimal performance
  • ### Module 5: Optimize Query Performance
  • Query execution plans are potentially the most important aspect of database performance. Improving bad plans is certainly an area where a small amount of effort can bring huge improvements. While hardware issues can limit query performance, improving hardware usually yields performance improvements in the 10-20% range, at most. More commonly database administrators encounter queries that are not optimized, have stale or missing statistics, have missing indexes, or poor database design choices that lead to the database engine doing more work than is necessary to return results for a given query. Improving the plans can sometimes yield performance improvements in the 100-200% range or even more, meaning that after improving a plan with better indexes or statistics, a query could run twice or three times as fast! This module provides details on how to analyze individual query performance and determine where improvements can be made.
  • Lessons

  • Review table and index design
  • Determine whether query or design changes have had a positive effect
  • ### Module 6: Automation of Tasks
  • A common goal for database administrators in many environments is to automate as many of their repetitive tasks. This can be as simple as using scripting to automate a backup process, and as complex as building a fully automated alerting system. This module provides details of automating tasks to simplify the DBA’s job. Methods include scheduling tasks for regular maintenance jobs, as well as multi-instance administration and configuration of notifications for task success or failure or non-completion.

  • Configure automation for PaaS services
  • ### Module 7: Plan and Implement a High Availability and Disaster Recovery Environment
  • Data must be available when the business needs it. That means the solutions hosting the data must be designed with availability and recoverability in mind. Suppose you work for a company that sells widgets both in stores and online. Your main application uses a highly transactional database for orders. What would happen if the server or platform hosting the transactional database had a problem that made it unavailable or inaccessible for some reason? What impact would it have on the business? If the right solution is put in place, the database would come online in a reasonable timeframe with minimal effort, thus allowing business to continue with little-to-no impact. This module and its associated lab cover configuring, testing, and managing a solution for high availability and disaster recovery (HADR) in Azure, for both Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) deployments. This module will not only cover basic requirements, but also the various options available to achieve HADR.
