I previously blogged about Microsoft certification changes, and since then there have been some new Microsoft Big Data certifications exams released:
Already live:

Now in beta:
70-776: Perform Big Data Engineering with Microsoft Cloud Services (Azure SQL Data Warehouse, Azure Data Lake Analytics, Azure Data Factory, Azure Stream Analytics)
