Exam Ref AZ-304 Microsoft Azure Architect Design 2022Overview
In today’s information era, data is growing rapidly and exponentially. This vast amount of data also opens a door for organizations to use it
effectively to make business decisions. Like a wide variety of IoT devices, and social networking sites, database applications generate a
massive amount of data. Handling such massive data with a traditional relational database approach sometimes becomes challenging and
inefficient. The heterogeneity and complexity of the data—also known as big data—emitted by numerous connected devices also make
managing traditional database storage solutions challenging.
Because the AZ-304 exam is an expert-level exam, you need to thoroughly understand Microsoft’s data storage services, use your architectural
thinking, and design the precise data storage solution. In this chapter, you will learn the critical concepts of designing storage and data
integration on the Microsoft Azure Cloud platform.
Skills covered in this chapter:
● Skill 3.1: Design a solution for databases
● Skill 3.2: Design data integration
● Skill 3.3: Select an appropriate storage account
IMPORTANT: Please refer to your textbook to see some figures and instructions that are not included in the Powerpoint because of
space considerations. Text page numbers are included with all slides.Skill 3.1: Design a solution for databases 73-87
A database is the foundation of any application. An accurate database design provides consistent data, high performance, scalability, less
management, and ultimately, user satisfaction. A modern database needs to address new challenges, such as massive data, diverse data
sources, multi-region deployment, and so on. The Azure Cloud platform helps overcome these challenges by providing sets of Azure database
services.
In this skill, we look at the various database deployments available today in Azure.
This skill covers how to:
● Select an appropriate data platform based on requirements
● Recommend database service tier sizing
● Database scalability solutions
● Encrypting data at rest, data in transmission, and data in use
