Description
Cloud administration is no longer optional for IT professionals — it is the baseline. The AZ-104 Microsoft Azure Administrator certification is the industry standard that proves you can deploy, secure, and manage Azure infrastructure at an enterprise level. But the exam alone is not the destination. The companies hiring certified Azure Administrators need people who can manage production environments from day one.
This course prepares you for both.
Every section is built around the five AZ-104 exam domains — identity and governance, storage, compute, networking, and monitoring — with hands-on demonstrations that reflect how Azure is actually configured and managed in real organisations, not just how it appears in exam questions.
Built by Sandeep Soni, a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), Azure Solution Architect, and corporate technology trainer with over 30 years of experience, this course reflects the teaching approach that has helped more than 500,000 IT professionals build practical, job-ready cloud skills across the USA, UK, Australia, and the Middle East. Sandeep holds 20+ Microsoft certifications and has spent decades helping developers, administrators, and architects master Microsoft technologies in real-world enterprise environments.
What makes this course different from the other AZ-104 courses?
Most AZ-104 courses are built to help you pass the exam. This course is built to help you become an Azure Administrator — and then pass the exam as a result. The distinction matters in your first week on the job.
The course goes deep on topics that other courses skim over, including Azure Key Vault for secrets and certificate management, context-aware network security configurations, and governance implementation using Azure Policy at enterprise scale. Every topic is taught with an understanding of not just what to configure, but why administrators make those choices in real environments.
What you will build and master, domain by domain:
Identity and Governance — Configure Microsoft Entra ID users, groups, licenses, and external identities. Implement Role-Based Access Control at subscription, resource group, and resource scope. Enforce governance across your Azure estate using Azure Policy, management groups, resource locks, and tagging strategies that keep environments auditable and compliant.
Azure Storage — Build and secure Azure Storage accounts with the right redundancy, access tiers, and lifecycle management policies. Implement shared access signatures, stored access policies, and identity-based access control. Configure blob versioning, soft delete, object replication, and AzCopy for data management at scale.
Compute Resources — Deploy and manage virtual machines, availability sets, availability zones, and VM scale sets for enterprise workloads. Configure disk encryption, custom script extensions, and Azure Bastion for secure VM access. Deploy App Services, container instances, container apps, and Azure Container Registry for modern application workloads — all aligned to the current AZ-104 exam objectives.
Virtual Networking — Design and configure virtual networks, subnets, peering, and IP addressing. Secure traffic using Network Security Groups, Application Security Groups, and user-defined routes. Configure DNS, VPN gateways, Azure Bastion, load balancers, and Application Gateway for high-availability, hybrid-connected environments.
Security with Azure Key Vault — Implement Azure Key Vault to manage secrets, keys, and certificates across your applications and infrastructure. Understand how Key Vault integrates with VM disk encryption, App Services, and automation pipelines — a critical real-world skill that most AZ-104 courses treat as secondary.
Monitoring and Backup — Configure Azure Monitor, Log Analytics workspaces, and Kusto queries to track performance and diagnose issues across resources. Set up Azure Backup, Recovery Services Vaults, and Azure Site Recovery for business continuity and disaster recovery — skills that directly reflect what administrators are expected to manage day to day.
Automation — Automate resource deployments using PowerShell, Azure CLI, and ARM templates with parameters and dependencies. Build repeatable, scalable infrastructure automation that reduces manual effort and ensures consistent configuration across environments.
Your transformation:
By completing this course, you will be able to walk into an Azure Administrator role and manage production infrastructure with confidence. You will know how subscriptions, identity, networking, storage, compute, and monitoring connect as a system — not just as isolated exam topics. You will be ready to sit the AZ-104 exam, achieve the Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate credential, and demonstrate real administrative capability in any Azure environment.
Whether you are transitioning from on-premises systems administration, building on existing cloud experience, or preparing for a new role, the skills this course builds are directly applicable to the Azure environments organisations are running today.
