A data science team needs a collaborative workspace built on Apache Spark for large-scale data processing and machine learning. Which Azure service is designed for this?
- AMicrosoft Power BI, which is the platform for building interactive reports and dashboards from data
- BAzure Blob storage, which stores large volumes of unstructured files but does not process them
- CAzure Databricks, an Apache Spark based platform for big-data processing and machine learning Correct
- DMicrosoft Fabric Warehouse, which serves a relational SQL layer rather than Spark based processing
Azure Databricks is the Apache Spark based platform for large-scale data processing and machine learning on Azure. Azure Databricks is an Apache Spark based analytics platform that gives data engineers and data scientists a collaborative workspace for large-scale data processing and machine learning.
Why A is wrong: Power BI is for visualising and reporting on data, not running large-scale Spark data processing and machine learning.
Why B is wrong: Blob storage holds data but provides no Spark compute for processing or machine learning.
Why C is correct: Correct. Azure Databricks is an Apache Spark based analytics platform that gives data engineers and data scientists a collaborative workspace for large-scale data processing and machine learning.
Why D is wrong: A Fabric warehouse provides a relational SQL query layer, not a collaborative Spark workspace for data science.
