Description

The "Azure blobs and file shares- Complete guide (2023)" course will teach you how to plan, deploy and manage Azure blob storage and Azure files. The course comprises 80 lectures and covers all aspects of data services. Students will learn all about the following:

· Azure storage accounts, access tiers, and redundancy options

· Blob containers and access levels

· Authentication & access to Azure blobs and containers

· Azure storage explorer & AzCopy

· Blob versioning, lifecycle management, and immutability policies

· Object replication, static website, and Azure CDN

· Network access and connectivity

· Private endpoint connections

· Azure files cloud tiering

· Azure files share-level permissions and ACLs

· Azure file sync service and deployment

· Azure files multi-site sync and access

· Azure files snapshots and backup

· Node.js client library

· And much more...

You will learn the key concepts and see how things work in an enterprise setup. I go from simple deployment scenarios to advanced ones using Microsoft best practices and explain the rationale behind the work.

I used live demos in almost all scenarios to make it easy to follow and pass on a clear message. I have also used PowerPoint, Visio, Word, Excel, and other tools to drive the message.

Enjoy the course and don't hesitate to ask questions and provide feedback.
