Azure Basics Part 1 (Azure AD, Subscription, Resource Group)

Create an Azure Active Directory by signing up with a default tenant, entering email, password, and verification code, then providing payment details to finalize the directory.

Learn to create an Azure Active Directory tenant with a default domain derived from your account email, add users with auto-generated passwords, and invite guest users.

Create a new Azure Active Directory tenant, switch between tenants, and manage users and guest users, with guidance on when to use Azure Active Directory versus B2C.

Learn how to manage roles and permissions in Azure Active Directory, assign roles to users, create custom roles with premium AD, and understand member vs guest access.

Convert from AD free to P2 by starting a B1 B2 free trial and activating the convert button; the trial converts to premium P2 for one month.

Learn to add a custom domain to Azure Active Directory, verify DNS, set the domain as primary, and create new users under that domain.

Create and manage groups in Azure Active Directory to assign the user administrator role to a group, let group owners add members, and see how permissions propagate to new users.

Administrative units group users and groups for region-based administration (US, Europe, Asia) and assign unit-specific admins; global or privileged admins must create units.

Create and manage an Azure Active Directory-based identity provider for a business application, connect on-premises apps with Azure AD Connect, and integrate users, groups, and roles.

Create and register a single page application with Azure Active Directory, set a redirect to localhost:3000, download the sample, and sign in with directory users.

Understand the concept of a service principle and how an application uses it to access Azure resources, such as storage or a virtual machine, via the enterprise application object.

Connect your existing cloud application to Azure Active Directory by integrating G Suite and explore two approaches—connectivity and provisioning—for B2B cloud app integration.

Learn how to connect Google GSuite with SSO using Azure AD by creating an enterprise application, configuring SAML endpoints and certificates, and testing sign-on with Google admin.

Provisioning automates syncing new Azure AD users to Google Admin in GSuite, using a G-cloud admin account and credentials. You can provision on demand or wait for the 40-minute interval.

Implement a consumer-facing app using Azure Active Directory B2C, enabling social login with Facebook or Google and managing identities with cloud-based identity and access management.

Create an Azure AD B2C application by first creating a B2C tenant, registering the app, configuring a sign-up and sign-in user flow, and downloading boilerplate code.

Add Google as an identity provider to the b2c application by configuring Google Cloud credentials, the consent screen, the authorized domain, and the client id and secret.

View sign-in logs in the directory under monitoring, and review sign-in activity by day, noting successes and failures; see which apps like the Azure portal and Google Suite were used.

Explore how a subscription acts as a logical container to provision and track resources and billing, and how it groups resources into a resource group in the Azure console.

Explore how a subscription acts as a logical container to provision and measure resources, track billing, and group items like virtual machines and databases in a resource group.

Locate and view your Azure subscription, review costs and invoices, organize resources into resource groups, and prepare to link Azure Active Directory to your subscription.

Discover how a resource group serves as a container for related Azure resources, enabling grouping by lifecycle to deploy, update, and delete them together, whether for web or mobile apps.

Create a resource group within a subscription by using the subscription pane or the resource group page, name it, review and create, and note that two groups can be created.

Learn how resources are organized under a subscription and resource group, and how to add a storage account within a resource group in Azure.

Explore how management groups organize multiple subscriptions across geographies and departments. Learn to use management groups to manage access policies and compliance across subscriptions, with a practical demo.

Learn how to create and organize management groups by geography and departments, attach subscriptions, and apply access control and policies to enforce least-privilege access in Azure.
