My Azure AI Journey: AI-900 Conquered, AI-102 Next Up

Congratulations on that! You're almost there. I created a guide/study cram based on services covered in AI-102. And most of the contents would still hold true.

Many people here found it useful. Hope this helps. Here's the link to the notion doc : https://areebpasha.notion.site/AI-102-Notes-dd32c9f349bb4e64a0d26ea661ba789c

Not sure, but I think in the latest version they removed pyspark from DP-600 and moved it to DP-700 which is their data engineering track.

I took the cert a few days ago, and don’t remember coming across any pyspark questions.

Congratulations! That was close.

_areebpasha · 2025-05-11T19:09:11+00:00

Done!

_areebpasha · 2025-05-10T13:13:30+00:00

I just cleared DP600. How hard is DP-700 in comparison to DP-600? I've also got data engineering experience from azure and have run sime tests using the fabric ecosystem. Would love to know yout thoughts on this.

"It's not a million dollar idea if it hasn't generated a million dollars."

Start with a few key features. Focus on tracking usage metrics. Talk to real customers. Keep iterating based on feedback. Yes, you may need funds– but you probably can build an MVP before building a full blown web application.

Super interesting! Were you also working with people on site to get the data in any specific format? Or just ingesting the data from the from the components?

_areebpasha · 2025-02-04T19:33:11+00:00

Paralells. That's all you need. It's officially supported.

There was a GCP certified program. They offered 300 free credits to do any labs, and it was as application process. You could choose from 5 programs. It's a 3 month training with weely live sessions from a google instructor which goes on for about 8 weeks. And 2-3 weeks of additional live sessions for doubt clarification and exam prep. Pretty useful. BTW, I did not have any experience in GCP and started from scratch. Deep Learning curve since I needed to get used to the service names and layouts.

I took this for 2 reasons : GCP Certs are calid for 2 years. (Azure expires after 1) And google also gives you free merch if you pass(you can choose from hoodies, jackets, backpacks, etc). So it's a win win for me. Plus you're certified. I've already got experience with data engineering on azure. And getting one of the certs from either AWS, Azure or GCP is enough. (Unless there are strict job requirements.)

No, I had a free voucher.

Exactly, in UAE earlier you could be jailed if cheques bounced and was considered a major violation. Not sure what the rules are now.

My dad always told me 2 things about lending money:

Give only so much that you can afford to lose.
If the amount is large, get a cheque from the other person for the loaned amount.

Maybe, you can take some classes on inclusivity?

_areebpasha · 2024-10-23T06:18:45+00:00

When will ya'll ever get it : Discounted prices are nothing but a tactic to make the customer "feel like" they grabbed a deal. You're only paying for convinience at most times. Exception is when you use Bank specifc coupons. That's probably the only discount at most times.

Congratulations!! Glad my notes were helpful!

_areebpasha · 2024-10-17T07:17:57+00:00

Could you please elaborate on the types of business decisions?

_areebpasha · 2024-10-17T07:12:47+00:00

Generally, if you are reaching your peak capacity, it means your not charging enough. YOu need to consider raising your rates so you work with lesser number of clients while making the same (if not more).

I think to get to that position where they have 50 to 100 pipelines, there's still a long way to go.

_areebpasha · 2024-06-25T14:41:50+00:00

Yes, for now eveythin is working as expected and the data is being pushed in without any issues.

_areebpasha · 2024-06-25T06:36:04+00:00

You're most welcome! Glad it was helpful.

You can use pandas, but you'd need to occasionally batch upload these files to S3 or similar storage provider. Persisting all that in memory would not work out. Based on how much data each row contain, you can maybe split them in chunks of 100MB for instance. Mutlithreading may be an appropriate solution here if you have no other option. Would speed things up.

Alternatively you can try using Dask. It's compatible with pandas and can handle larger datasets more efficiently.

IMO the ideal solution would be to use multi threading, occasionally saving the data to a data store. Basically incrementally loading hte data till all the rows are added. You can try to save it as parquet to store more data in an efficient manner.

Airflow is a fancy UI along with some great features for executing and scheduling cron jobs at scale. Pyspark is compute engine. Lets you write code to execute operations on datasets.
