Get Started with Databricks: End to End

This course is a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. You will follow a single end-to-end journey that starts in the workspace and finishes with an introduction to AI and machine learning, covering the everyday skills you need to work with data on Databricks.


The course covers:

• Navigating the Databricks workspace, compute options, and the Lakehouse versus Genie experiences.

• Understanding and ingesting data with Unity Catalog, including file upload and the Catalog Explorer.

• Working in Databricks notebooks and using Genie Code to write and debug code.

• Querying data with SQL, managing saved queries, and building dashboards and visualizations.

• Exploring data in natural language with Genie Agents.

• An introduction to AI and machine learning with MLflow and the Data Science Agent.


By the end of the course, you will be comfortable navigating Databricks, finding and governing data in Unity Catalog, writing SQL and notebook code with AI assistance, building dashboards, and exploring data with Genie.


You can create a Databricks Free Edition account and try the follow-along demos in a hands-on environment.

Automated Deployment with Declarative Automation Bundles - Mandarin Chinese

本课程全面介绍了 DevOps 原则及其在 Databricks 项目中的应用。课程首先概述了核心 DevOps、DataOps、持续集成(CI)、持续部署(CD)和测试的基本概念,并探讨了如何将这些原则应用于数据工程管道。

课程随后聚焦于 CI/CD 流程中的持续部署,介绍用于项目部署的工具,包括 Databricks REST API、SDK 和 CLI。您将了解声明式自动化包(DAB)及其在 CI/CD 流程中的作用,深入学习其关键组件、文件夹结构,以及它们如何简化在 Databricks 中跨各种目标环境的部署流程。您还将学习如何使用 Databricks CLI 为多个具有不同配置的环境添加变量、修改、验证、部署和执行声明式自动化包。

最后,课程介绍如何将 Visual Studio Code 作为交互式开发环境(IDE),用于在本地构建、测试和部署声明式自动化包,从而优化开发流程。课程最后介绍如何使用 GitHub Actions 自动化部署管道,以增强声明式自动化包的 CI/CD 工作流。

完成本课程后,您将具备使用声明式自动化包自动化 Databricks 项目部署的能力,并能够通过 DevOps 实践提升工作效率。
