Migrate NoSQL workloads to Azure Cosmos DB

This course will teach the students what is Cosmos DB and how you can migrate MongoDB and Cassandra workloads to Cosmos DB.

This course will be retired as of 31 January 2023.

In addition to their professional experience, students who attend this training should already have the following technical knowledge:

• The fundamental concepts of partitioning, replication, and resource governance for building and configuring scalable NoSQL applications that are agnostic of a Cosmos DB API.

At the end of this course, the students will have learned:

• Building Globally Distributed Applications with Cosmos DB
