Audience
This course is for IT Professionals with expertise in designing and implementing solutions running on Microsoft Azure. They should have a broad knowledge of IT operations, including networking, virtualization, identity, security, business continuity, disaster recovery, data platform, budgeting, and governance. Azure Solution Architects use the Azure Portal and as they become more adept, they use the Command Line Interface.
Candidates must have intermediate-level skills in Azure administration and have experience with Azure development processes and DevOps processes.
Prerequisites
Before attending this course, delegates must have previous experience deploying or administering Azure resources and conceptual knowledge of:
• Azure Active Directory
• Azure compute technologies such as VMs, containers and serverless solutions.
• Azure virtual networking to include load balancers
• Azure Storage technologies (unstructured and databases)
• General application design concepts such as messaging and high availability.
Skills Gained
After completing this course, students will be skilled in:
• Implementing Azure data storage solutions such as Azure SQL Database, Azure Cosmos DB, and Azure Files.
• Implementing Azure SQL Database Managed Instances and service tiers.
• Recommendations for Governance such as Azure Policy and Azure Blueprint.
• Recommendations for subscriptions, accounts, and Role-Based Access Control.
• Designs for Authentication and Authorization such as MFA and hybrid identities.
• Solutions for logging and monitoring such as Azure Monitor and Azure Monitoring solutions (Azure Security Center, Azure Application Insights, and Azure Sentinel).
• Recommendations for intra and intersite integration (name resolution, network security, internet protection, hybrid networks, and perimeter networks).
• Manage network traffic using network routing and service endpoints, Azure load balancer, and Azure Application Gateway.
• Solutions for Application Architecture such as event-based Cloud automation, microservices architecture on Azure Service Fabric, and designs for microservices APIs.
• Recommendations for Azure App Service, Azure Container Instances, and Kubernetes
