DP-070T00: Migrate Open Source Data Workloads to Azure — Lesson 3: Application Remediation, Security and Testing

Learning Objectives

• Update connections, drivers, secrets, queries, transactions, errors, and operational integration
• Apply encryption, identity, firewall, private access, monitoring, backup, and least privilege
• Validate application remediation, security and testing decisions with documented requirements, test evidence, risk controls, and measurable acceptance criteria

Detailed Topics

• Update connections: Update connections, drivers, secrets, queries, transactions, errors, and operational integration
• Apply encryption: Apply encryption, identity, firewall, private access, monitoring, backup, and least privilege
• Validate application remediation: Validate application remediation, security and testing decisions with documented requirements, test evidence, risk controls, and measurable acceptance criteria

Guided Demonstration

1. Review the requirement, users, data, dependencies, permissions, risks, and expected result.
2. Demonstrate the relevant configuration, creation, administration, analysis, migration, or development workflow step by step.
3. Capture settings, outputs, logs, screenshots, calculations, test results, and other useful evidence.
4. Compare the observed result with acceptance criteria and explain any corrective action.

Hands-On Activity

Test a remediated application and secured Azure database.

• Document assumptions, prerequisites, and the planned sequence before starting.
• Complete the activity and preserve evidence of normal, boundary, and failure behavior.
• Record issues, corrective actions, reusable notes, and the next improvement priority.

Scenario Analysis

• Identify the business or technical decision that must be made.
• Compare valid implementation approaches and their trade-offs.
• Consider security, privacy, accessibility, performance, support, and operational impact.

Troubleshooting Focus

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

Validation Checklist

• The requirement, scope, inputs, and expected outcome are clear.
• The selected design or configuration is documented and follows approved standards.
• Normal, boundary, failure, security, accessibility, and operational conditions are reviewed.
• The result is supported by evidence and the next improvement is prioritized.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can explain and apply Application Remediation, Security and Testing in a realistic scenario and validate the result with documented evidence.
