Learning Objectives

• Deploy, monitor, back up, restore, and maintain SSAS solutions
• Evaluate Azure Analysis Services and cloud-connected analytical scenarios
• Validate accuracy, performance, security, usability, and support readiness

Detailed Topics

• Deploy: Deploy, monitor, back up, restore, and maintain SSAS solutions
• Evaluate Azure Analysis Services and cloud-connected analytical scenarios: Evaluate Azure Analysis Services and cloud-connected analytical scenarios
• Validate accuracy: Validate accuracy, performance, security, usability, and support readiness

Guided Demonstration

1. Review the requirement, environment, dependencies, roles, risks, and expected outcome.
2. Demonstrate the relevant configuration, analysis, code, or administration workflow step by step.
3. Capture settings, outputs, logs, screenshots, calculations, or test evidence.
4. Compare the observed result with the stated acceptance criteria.

Hands-On Activity

Deliver an end-to-end SSAS solution review with a prioritized improvement roadmap.

• Document assumptions and the planned sequence before making changes.
• Complete the activity and preserve evidence of normal and exception behavior.
• Record issues, corrective actions, and reusable operational or development notes.

Troubleshooting Focus

• Separate symptoms from causes and collect evidence before applying a fix.
• Check configuration, permissions, data, dependencies, capacity, connectivity, and recent changes.
• Validate rollback, recovery, support ownership, and user or business impact.

Validation Checklist

• The requirement and expected outcome are clear.
• The selected configuration, design, query, code, or process is documented.
• Normal, boundary, failure, security, and operational conditions are reviewed.
• The result is supported by evidence and the next improvement is prioritized.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can explain and apply Deployment, Azure Integration, and Analytics Solution Review in a realistic scenario and validate the result with documented evidence.
