Explore cloud concepts with azure: public, private, and hybrid clouds, and service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), plus compute, storage, analytics, and networking for scalable, available, and cost-aware solutions.
Explore public, private, and hybrid cloud models and how virtualization enables on-demand resources. Learn cost implications, security and privacy considerations, and strategies for moving from private to public clouds.
Understand the cloud service models: infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, and software as a service, and shared responsibility model, including who manages infrastructure, operating system, and data.
Discover regions, geographies, and zones, and how availability sets and availability zones improve SLA. Learn about replication across primary and secondary regions, disaster recovery, and resource groups for governance.
Explore virtual networks and virtual machines in Azure, including infrastructure as a service, load balancer, application gateway, and content delivery network.
Configure a basic load balancer for two virtual machines in an availability set, add health probes, and route web traffic through the load balancer using front-end IP addresses.
Learn container, storage, and SQL database services on Azure, from Docker images and container instances to Cosmos DB and SQL databases, plus storage accounts for blobs, including orchestration options.
Discover serverless computing with Azure Functions and Logic Apps, including event-driven executions and consumption pricing. Build and deploy using Azure Functions and App Service; manage with DevOps tooling and advisor.
Secure network connectivity with defense in depth, using firewalls, application gateway, and network security groups to protect data. Share responsibilities through identity management and governance, including multifactor authentication and encryption.
Explore core Azure identity services, distinguishing authentication from authorization, and learn how Azure AD enables single sign-on, MFA, user and group management, role-based access, and federation across apps.
Explore how the security center detects, assesses, and diagnoses incidents to recommend secure configurations, and how information protection and advanced threat protection guard data.
Explore Azure governance methodologies, including policy definitions, initiatives, remediation, role-based access control, resource locks, blueprints, and subscriptions to enforce compliance, audit activity, and control costs.
Learn how tagging enables resource grouping and cost reporting, and how metrics, logs, and log analytics support monitoring and reporting in Azure.
Ensure privacy and data protection by choosing a compliant cloud provider, with HIPAA and GDPR considerations, data encryption, restricted access, and audited controls via Microsoft’s trust center and compliance manager.
Explore Azure subscription options, how service costs are calculated, and SLAs, plus management groups, cost management tools, and pricing calculator to optimize budgets.
Explore the fundamentals of Microsoft Azure, including networking, database, monitoring services, and the pricing calculator, with AZ-900 practice questions for careers in development, data engineering, AI, or architecture.
This course is a complete preparation guide for the AZ‑900: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals exam, designed for beginners who want to understand cloud computing concepts and Microsoft Azure services without prior cloud experience.
The course starts with core cloud concepts, explaining why organizations move to cloud services, different cloud models such as public, private, and hybrid cloud, and common cloud service types including IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. These fundamentals help you understand how cloud computing delivers scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency.
You will then explore core Azure services and architecture, including Azure subscriptions, regions, and resource groups. Key services such as virtual machines, virtual networks, load balancers, containers, storage services, SQL databases, Azure Functions, and App Services are explained to give you a clear understanding of how applications run on Azure.
The course also covers security, privacy, compliance, and trust in Azure. You will learn about securing network connectivity, Azure identity services, security tools, governance methodologies, monitoring, reporting, and data protection practices that ensure compliance and reliability.
Next, you will understand Azure pricing, subscriptions, service‑level agreements (SLAs), and service lifecycles, helping you make informed decisions about cost management and availability expectations.
Finally, the course includes a dedicated AZ‑900 question bank and practice test, enabling you to assess your readiness and reinforce key concepts. By the end of this course, you will be well‑prepared to confidently attempt the AZ‑900 certification exam.
