The End of Azure Data Engineering.

Microsoft is retiring the Azure Data Engineer certification.

After March 31st, the flagship certification for Azure data engineers will be replaced by the Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer certification.

This changes everything for Azure data professionals. Fabric promises an all-in-one data platform, but it’s still new, with limited adoption and some teething issues.

In my latest video, I break down:
1️⃣ What this retirement means for your career
2️⃣ Key differences between the Azure stack and Fabric
3️⃣ How to navigate certifications and stay ahead

Are Synapse, Data Factory, and Databricks here to stay, or will they be absorbed into Fabric?
