SQL Server 2019 Big Data Clusters Crash Course: Installing and Using a Big Data Cluster for Data Analysis

Learn the architecture and implementation of Microsoft’s latest SQL Server capability - Big Data Clusters. Combine SQL Server for data, PolyBase for data virtualization, Data Pools for scale-out data processing, and Spark with HDFS for scalable non-relational data processing and analysis.

You’ll begin this video with a quick overview of the big data space, along with an easy-to-understand introduction to containers, Kubernetes, Spark, and HDFS. You’ll put those pieces together by planning and deploying your own cluster. Then it’s on to operationalizing the cluster through problem-solving with Transact-SQL, PolyBase, data processing at scale, and working with Spark and HDFS.
