As you all know, data is the elixir that keeps an organization running with its top performance at all times. An Azure data engineer is responsible for the management of organizational data and ensuring optimal performance alongside privacy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The Microsoft Certified Azure Data Engineer Associate certification is ideal for candidates who want to become azure data engineers. However, the azure data engineer associate certification exam has two constituent exams such as the DP-203 and DP-201 exams. A candidate has to qualify both the exams for obtaining the Azure data engineer associate certification from Microsoft. So, every DP-201 certification preparation guide should provide basic information about the DP-203 exam also!<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Also Check: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/azure-certifications-path\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Microsoft Azure Certification Path<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DP-203_Implementing_an_Azure_Data_Solution\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">DP-203: Implementing an Azure Data Solution<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The exam DP-203 has the title \u2018Implementing an Azure Data Solution.\u2019 This exam forms one important half of your preparation for Azure data engineer associate certification. The DP-203 exam tests the abilities of candidates in the following domains.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Implementation of data storage solutions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Management and developing data processing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Monitoring and optimization of data solutions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Candidates have to cross DP-203 as a major prerequisite to start their DP-201 exam preparation. The registration fee for the DP-203 exam is USD 165 as of the time of writing this guide. The exam is available in four different languages, such as English, Korean, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. Now, let us move towards the focus of attention in this discussion, i.e., the DP-201 exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DP-201_Designing_an_Azure_Data_Solution\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">DP-201: Designing an Azure Data Solution<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Microsoft came up with the two new exams, i.e., DP-203 and DP-201 on January 31, 2019 for the Azure data engineer role. The Exam DP-201: Designing an Azure Data Solution is ideal for any IT professional with a desire to start a career in data analytics. Candidates with previous experience in following job roles can also consider the importance of the DP-201 exam for their career. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Data engineers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Data architects. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Data analysts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Data scientists.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">You do not have to obtain any mandatory certification i.e. DP-203 to appear for DP-201. The exam is an associate-level certification exam and is related to the DP-203 exam. The basic prerequisites, however, are imperative for every candidate\u2019s success in the exam. Candidates should have fluency in programming fundamentals as well as the SQL syntax for commencing their DP-201 exam preparation. The preferable option for candidates is to qualify the AZ-900 Microsoft Azure Fundamentals certification exam. Candidates should note that this exam is not a mandatory prerequisite but can validate your in-depth knowledge of Azure basics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/microsoft-azure-exam-az-103-certification\/online-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-72046 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AZ-103-online-course-banner.gif\" alt=\"DP-200 Exam Preparation\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DP-201_Exam_Information\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">DP-201 Exam Information<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The DP-201 exam is available in four different languages, such as English, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese.
