Implementing a Lakehouse with Microsoft Fabric - Applied Skills Workshop Eğitimi

This one-day instructor-led course provides data professionals with the knowledge and practical skills required to implement and manage Lakehouse solutions using Microsoft Fabric. Aligned with the Microsoft DP-601 Applied Skills curriculum, the course focuses on building, ingesting, transforming and analysing data within Microsoft Fabric Lakehouses using Apache Spark, Delta Lake and Fabric data integration tools.

Through a combination of instructor-led learning and hands-on labs, learners explore Lakehouse architecture, Apache Spark, Delta Lake tables, Dataflows Gen2, Data Factory Pipelines and Medallion Architecture. By the end of the course, participants will be able to confidently implement and manage Microsoft Fabric Lakehouses that support scalable analytics workloads.
