Microsoft MVP and Microsoft Certified Azure Solutions Architect Tim Warner walks you through what to expect on the DP-420 exam. This course provides everything you need to know to pass this exam.

Cosmos DB is Microsoft Azure's flagship non-relational database product. Cosmos DB supports multiple application programming interfaces (APIs) that provide compatibility with competing NoSQL databases. Cosmos DB also features five different transaction consistency levels, as well as multimaster global replication. Businesses that need to integrate enterprise-scale, cloud-based, NoSQL databases in their solutions will obviously consider Cosmos DB. Learners can embrace this training for real-world Cosmos DB training.

There's a decided emphasis on building hands-on skills, because this is how Microsoft focuses their Azure Cosmos DB Database Developer job role.
