Utilisation of Azure Cloud Services to architect and orchestrate data pipeline(weekly) to perform ETL on Covid-19 dataset of European countries extracted from European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control

Overview • Tools • Architecture • Support • License

Overview

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) was established in 2005. It is an EU agency aimed at strengthening Europe's defenses against infectious diseases.

Covid 19 Analysis is a comprehensive project that harnesses the capabilities of Azure services to collect, analyze, and visualize essential COVID-19 data while ensuring robust security through Azure Key Vault and Azure Service Principals. This project seamlessly retrieves data from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and combines it with population data for a comprehensive analysis of the pandemic's impact. Data is ingested into Azure Data Lake Gen2, which acts as a centralized storage repository, and then undergoes transformations and exploratory analysis using Azure Dataflow and Azure Databricks. To maintain stringent security, Azure Key Vault is employed to securely manage and store sensitive credentials and secrets. Processed data is stored in an Azure SQL Database for efficient querying, and Azure Data Lake Gen2 is used for intermediate and refined datasets. The project includes the use of Power Bi for showcasing the spread and testing of Covid 19 in European countries.
