Cloud Analytics with Microsoft Azure


With data being generated at an exponential speed, organizations all over the world are migrating their infrastructure to the cloud. Application management becomes much easier when you use a cloud platform to build, manage, and deploy your services and applications.

Cloud Analytics with Microsoft Azure covers all that you need to extract useful insights from your data. You'll explore the power of data with big data analytics, the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, artificial intelligence, and DataOps. You'll also delve into data analytics by studying use cases that focus on creating actionable insights from near-real-time data. As you advance, you'll learn to build an end-to-end analytics pipeline on the cloud with machine learning and deep learning concepts.

By the end of this book, you'll have developed a solid understanding of data analytics with Azure and its practical implementation.
