Building cloud-native applications in Azure requires more than database skills—it takes architectural fluency. This course equips participants with the design principles and implementation strategies to create scalable, distributed, and secure data solutions using Azure Cosmos DB. They will gain practical experience through guided labs and scenario-based learning.
Learning Outcomes:
Design and implement data models for Azure Cosmos DB
Optimise database performance, partitioning, and throughput
Apply consistency models and global distribution strategies
Implement server-side programming and integration techniques
Key Topics:
Azure Cosmos DB architecture and use cases
SQL API programming and partitioning strategies
Indexing policies and consistency levels
Server-side programming with stored procedures and triggers
Integration with Azure services and SDKs
Exam Details
This course is designed to build participants’ understanding of key concepts and domains covered in the DP-420: Designing and Implementing Cloud-Native Applications Using Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB certification.
While the course provides technical training aligned with certification objectives, the certification exam is not bundled and must be registered separately.
To maximise success, participants are strongly encouraged to complement the course with additional self-study, revision of course materials, and dedicated practice before attempting the exam.
1. Get started with Azure Cosmos DB SQL API
Learn about the Azure Cosmos DB SQL API and how to get started with your first account, database, and container.
2. Plan and implement Azure Cosmos DB SQL API
Plan for configuration options and provisioning choices with a new Azure Cosmos DB SQL API account.
3. Connect to Azure Cosmos DB SQL API with the SDK
Use the Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos library from NuGet to connect to an Azure Cosmos DB SQL API account from a .NET application.
4. Access and manage data with the Azure Cosmos DB SQL API SDKs
Use the .NET SDK for Azure Cosmos DB SQL API to perform common operations on databases, containers, and items.
5. Execute queries in Azure Cosmos DB SQL API
