Databricks Platform Administrator

[sandy4v]

I am an Informatica Administrator. Want to become Databricks Administrator. Would like to connect with people who are working as Databricks platform admins and understand the path to become a successful Admin.

You can take the platform admin course on partner academy - It covers the topic needed for a platform admin quite well .

https://partner-academy.databricks.com/learn/courses/1230/databricks-platform-administration-fundame...

you might also want to look for cloud specific platform admin course on partner academy . 

Next would be to master data exfiltration architecture on databricks as explained on this link 
https://www.databricks.com/blog/data-exfiltration-protection-with-azure-databricks 

If you can use terraform to deploy a data exfiltration architecture on databricks that should give you a fairly good confidence as a platform admin on databricks .there is always more stuff to learn and master but this should be a sufficiently good start .

Thanks Pradeep

I have started the training and I will try to do hands on practice with the exfilteration architecture

Pradeep, 

I am doing the training on the DBx academy.  During the Demo,
1. The instrutor is asking to download the notebook to follow along, but, there is no link anywhere to download this notebook.

 2. Harmony AI chatbot - This doesn't work and never answer any questions.

Is there a Git repo with the notebooks?

Also for some reason Databricks is moving away from Video courses to slides. This is a complete step-back.

thanks

Sandeep

I think the slides are there for reference . There should be some video later that references that. But I understand that can be be confusing . The notebooks would be downloadable from another version of the course that has a paid labs . So if you are take the free version you only get to see the code and not download it . I would also recommend to check the vimeo site for databricks topics that you want to dive deeper . All of their public videos from various demos are posted there .
