Data Engineering on Microsoft Azure Updated DP-203 Exam Dumps [2022] For 100% Passing

1. Topic 1, Contoso Case Study Transactional Date

Contoso has three years of customer, transactional, operation, sourcing, and supplier data comprised of 10 billion records stored across multiple on-premises Microsoft SQL Server servers. The SQL server instances contain data from various operational systems. The data is loaded into the instances by using SQL server integration Services (SSIS) packages.

You estimate that combining all product sales transactions into a company-wide sales transactions dataset will result in a single table that contains 5 billion rows, with one row per transaction.

Most queries targeting the sales transactions data will be used to identify which products were sold in retail stores and which products were sold online during different time period. Sales transaction data that is older than three years will be removed monthly.

You plan to create a retail store table that will contain the address of each retail store. The table will be approximately 2 MB. Queries for retail store sales will include the retail store addresses.

You plan to create a promotional table that will contain a promotion ID. The promotion ID will be associated to a specific product. The product will be identified by a product ID. The table will be approximately 5 GB.

Litware employs business analysts who prefer to analyze data by using Microsoft Power BI, and data scientists who prefer analyzing data in Azure Databricks notebooks.

Requirements

Business Goals

Litware wants to create a new analytics environment in Azure to meet the following requirements:

✑ See inventory levels across the stores. Data must be updated as close to real time as possible.

✑ Execute ad hoc analytical queries on historical data to identify whether the loyalty club discounts increase sales of the discounted products.

✑ Every four hours, notify store employees about how many prepared food items to produce based on historical demand from the sales data.

Technical Requirements

Litware identifies the following technical requirements:

✑ Minimize the number of different Azure services needed to achieve the business goals.

✑ Use platform as a service (PaaS) offerings whenever possible and avoid having to provision virtual machines that must be managed by Litware.

✑ Ensure that the analytical data store is accessible only to the company's on-premises network and Azure services.

✑ Use Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication whenever possible.

✑ Use the principle of least privilege when designing security.

✑ Stage Inventory data in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 before loading the data into the analytical data store. Litware wants to remove transient data from Data Lake Storage once the data is no longer in use. Files that have a modified date that is older than 14 days must be removed.

✑ Limit the business analysts' access to customer contact information, such as phone numbers, because this type of data is not analytically relevant.

✑ Ensure that you can quickly restore a copy of the analytical data store within one hour in the event of corruption or accidental deletion.

Planned Environment

Litware plans to implement the following environment:

✑ The application development team will create an Azure event hub to receive real-time sales data, including store number, date, time, product ID, customer loyalty number, price, and discount amount, from the point of sale (POS) system and output the data to data storage in Azure.

✑ Customer data, including name, contact information, and loyalty number, comes from Salesforce, a SaaS application, and can be imported into Azure once every eight hours. Row modified dates are not trusted in the source table.

✑ Product data, including product ID, name, and category, comes from Salesforce and can be imported into Azure once every eight hours. Row modified dates are not trusted in the source table.

✑ Daily inventory data comes from a Microsoft SQL server located on a private network.

✑ Litware currently has 5 TB of historical sales data and 100 GB of customer data. The company expects approximately 100 GB of new data per month for the next year.

✑ Litware will build a custom application named FoodPrep to provide store employees with the calculation results of how many prepared food items to produce every four hours.

✑ Litware does not plan to implement Azure ExpressRoute or a VPN between the on-premises network and Azure.
