DIGITAL BADGE
Course Duration ± 40 Hours
“The Enterprise Big Data Architect (EBDAR®) course will teach participants advanced design techniques for architecting Big Data environments. The EBDAR course provides a solid theoretical foundation for data architects that need to design highly scalable IT and data architectures.”
Overview
The Enterprise Big Data Architect (EBDAR®) training course is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the design, implementation, and management of Big Data systems, platforms, and infrastructures. The course will cover various aspects of Big Data architecture, from data storage and processing to data governance and management, and will also cover cloud computing, machine learning and predictive analytics.
Throughout the course, participants will gain a deep understanding of Big Data architecture and its components, as well as the distributed systems concepts and architectures that underpin it. They will learn about different data storage options, including relational and NoSQL databases, data warehousing, and data lakes. Additionally, they will become proficient in using Hadoop and its ecosystem, including HDFS, MapReduce, Hive, Pig, and Spark.
The Enterprise Big Data Architect participants will also learn about data streaming and real-time processing, including streaming data concepts and architectures, and technologies such as Kafka, Storm, and Flink. They will also gain an understanding of data governance and management, including data quality, data lineage, data privacy, and security, and metadata management.
In addition to learning about the technical aspects of Big Data, participants will also learn about cloud computing for Big Data, including cloud computing concepts and platforms, and how to use Big Data on AWS, Azure, and GCP. They will also learn about best practices and deployment strategies for deploying big data systems in the cloud. Participants will learn how to design and implement scalable, high-performance, and reliable Big Data architectures for data storage, processing, governance, and analysis. They will also learn about scalability, performance, and high availability, including how to scale Big Data systems and applications, performance tuning and optimization, and high availability and disaster recovery.
Finally, participants will have the opportunity to work on a real-world Big Data project, where they will apply the skills and knowledge they have gained throughout the course. This will provide hands-on experience designing, implementing, and monitoring a Big Data architecture, and will give them the opportunity to put their new skills into practice.
By the end of this course, participants will have a strong understanding of Big Data architecture and its associated technologies, and will be well-prepared to take on roles as Big Data Architects or to pursue further study in the field. They will have the necessary skills and knowledge to design, implement and manage big data systems, platforms and infrastructures, and will be able to use various big data technologies and tools to extract valuable insights and make data-driven decisions.
This course positions learners to successfully complete the Enterprise Big Data Architect certification exam.
