Survey of the Azure Data Landscape

Choosing where to store your data is far more difficult that it ever has been. We can be paralyzed by choice! This session seeks to ease that anxiety and provide direction for application developers and DBAs. You'll learn the difference between DocumentDB, Azure Table Storage, Blob Storage, Azure SQL Database, SQL in a VM, Azure SQL Data Warehouse, Azure Data Lake Analytics, Azure Data Lake Store, and more. See demos and review case studies so that you'll have a complete view of how data is stored in Azure and how to choose great tools, leading your project down the path to success. Ike Ellis is a Data Platform MVP and partner at Crafting Bytes, a San Diego-based software studio. In March 2015, he released a book, Developing Azure Solutions, that he co-authored with Michele Bustamante and Zoiner Tejada. This year, he's released a new book, Getting Started with Azure Data Lake Analytics and an accompanying Pluralsight course. He's a regular speaker at SQL Pass Summit. Lately, he's excited about Azure DocumentDB, Power BI, and Azure SQL Data Warehouse. Follow him at @ike_ellis.
