Azure Databricks Workshop

Is your organization exploring Azure Databricks?

Azure Databricks is an exciting new service in Azure for data engineering, data science, and AI. It provides a collaborative environment where data scientists, data engineers, and data analysts can work together in a secure interactive workspace. Built on Apache Spark, Azure Databricks is capable of processing and modeling data of all sizes and shapes, and it integrates seamlessly with other services in Azure such as Azure Data Lake Store, Azure SQL Data Warehouse, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Event Hub, and Azure Data Factory.

In this 2-day, on-site workshop, up to 10 attendees from your organization will receive a detailed overview of Azure Databricks, giving them an understanding of where and how it fits into the Azure Data Platform. BlueGranite consultants will lead a demonstration of the core functionality within Azure Databricks along with hands-on labs and a use-case discovery.

This expertly designed framework will leave attendees with the knowledge they need to take full advantage of Azure Databricks capabilities and set them up for success with the platform.
