Course Objective & Scope
Teams running or migrating enterprise workloads on Microsoft Azure need to structure subscriptions, networking and service selection properly from day one. This course provides a practical foundation across Azure compute, storage, networking, security and governance services.
Microsoft Entra ID and RBAC, the Management Group/Subscription/Resource Group hierarchy, VNets, NSGs and Load Balancers/Application Gateways, Azure VMs, App Service, Functions and Container Apps, Storage Accounts, Azure SQL and Cosmos DB, plus Azure Monitor and Cost Management are explored hands-on. Participants design a baseline Azure architecture and governance checklist for a sample workload.
Who Should Attend?
- IT specialists and engineers developing or administering workloads on Azure
- Infrastructure teams migrating on-premise Windows or Linux workloads to Azure
- Technical staff and project managers starting the AZ-900 / AZ-104 learning path
- Prerequisite: basic IT, networking and server concepts
Key Takeaways
- Structure Management Groups, Subscriptions and Resource Groups to match the organisation
- Enforce access and compliance rules using Microsoft Entra ID, RBAC roles and Azure Policy
- Configure VNets, subnets, NSGs, VNet Peering and hybrid connectivity options
- Match Azure VMs, App Service, Container Apps, Storage and Azure SQL to the right use cases
