1. Getting Started with Azure and Core Tools

Have a deep dive into the foundational concepts and tools required to begin your journey with Microsoft Azure. You'll explore cloud computing basics, learn how to organize and manage resources efficiently using Azure Resource Groups, and set up core services like Blob Storage and Azure SQL Database. Additionally, you’ll secure sensitive data with Azure Key Vault and gain an overview of Azure Data Factory (ADF) to understand its role in modern data engineering workflows.

Getting Started

Understanding Azure Subscriptions

Organizing Resources with Resource Groups

Using Azure Blob Storage for Data Storage

Setting Up Azure SQL Database

Managing Credentials with Azure Key Vault

Introduction to Azure Data Factory

2. Foundations of Azure Data Factory

Explore the core functionalities of Azure Data Factory (ADF), a powerful tool for creating and automating ETL/ELT workflows. In this section, you'll learn how to configure services, datasets, and pipelines while exploring key activities such as Copy, Lookup, and Script. You'll also work with advanced features like the ForEach activity for iteration and pipeline parameters for flexibility.
