The original DP-420 material on cloud-native Azure Cosmos DB applications contains an enduring engineering problem: a database may scale easily while an application still fails because its document model, routing assumptions or recovery procedure is wrong. A partition key that looks convenient in a small test can concentrate requests on one logical partition. A data-access […]
Operate Azure Virtual Desktop from the user’s point of view Azure Virtual Desktop, formerly known as Windows Virtual Desktop, is useful only when authorized users can find their desktop or RemoteApp, connect without excessive delay, retain the right profile and work in the required applications.

DP-300 preparation becomes far more useful when it is practiced as a sequence of database incidents. A candidate may recognize Azure SQL Database, Managed Instance, Query Store or failover groups on a diagram yet struggle to explain which evidence supports a production decision. Microsoft’s October 27, 2026 skills for Administering Microsoft Azure SQL Solutions emphasize […]
Historical reference, not a currently available exam: Microsoft retired DP-100, Designing and Implementing a Data Science Solution on Azure, on June 1, 2026.

This article retains the practical data-science and Azure […]
AI-102 is a historical examination as of November 2026: Microsoft retired it on June 30 of this year.
