Welcome to the Course3:07
Build a practical three-tier azure application with portal and PowerShell, including load balancers, Windows and Linux VMs, and an Azure SQL database with automatic regional failover.
See What We Will Create Together2:25
Create an Azure 3-tier app with a resource group, four virtual machines (two Windows with IIS, two Linux), and load balancers, including a public front end and private back end.
Frequently Asked Questions0:27

Create Our First Windows VM using the Azure Portal14:40
Create your first Windows VM in the Azure portal by configuring a resource group, selecting a region, choosing an availability set, and provisioning with Windows Server 2016.
Validate the VM Works4:57
Validate the Azure VM deployment by inspecting created resources, confirming the VM runs, and testing remote desktop access and a working IIS web server reachable via domain name.
Create Another Windows VM Using ARM Templates and PowerShell3:22
Deploy a second Windows VM using ARM templates and PowerShell, importing parameters to reuse the same virtual network and network security group while avoiding name conflicts.
VM Quiz
Create Both of the Load Balancers6:44
Demonstrate creating two Windows virtual machines, two Linux virtual machines, and two load balancers (public and internal), then set up backend pools and a public IP with dns.
Create Our First Linux VM using the Azure Portal5:44
Deploy Ubuntu 18 Linux back-end VMs in a resource group in East US, using SSH keys, an availability set, no public IP, with network security groups and deployment templates.
Create Another Linux VM Using Bash Scripts / Cloud Shell7:50
Deploys a second Linux virtual machine using a bash deployment script and cloud shell, configuring templates, parameters, SSH keys, and resource group settings in Azure.
Validate the Linux VM2:50
Confirm deployment success, start Linux backend VMs, configure backend load balancer with two Linux VMs, and frontend load balancer with two Windows VMs, enabling Azure SQL regional failover.

Install IIS Web Server on the Windows Virtual Machines4:03
Connect to the windows front-end vm via rdp, then install the iis web server role using add roles and features. Repeat on the second front-end to serve pages publicly.
Configure Front-End Load Balancer for Public Traffic6:47
Configure a public front-end load balancer with a DNS name, health probe, and load balancing rules to evenly distribute HTTP traffic (port 80) across backend web servers.
Configure Back-End Load Balancer for Internal Traffic3:51
Configure the back-end load balancer to route traffic to Linux VMs with port 80 health probes and a backend pool rule, resulting in an active, three-tier environment.
What Did We Learn?10:43
Explore building a 3-tier app on Azure by provisioning Windows and Linux VMs, load balancers, and SQL databases, with ARM templates, Cloud Shell, and auto-scaling considerations.

Description

BRAND NEW COURSE - May 28 2018

This course is designed so that you can follow along! As I create a Virtual Machine using the Azure Portal, you can be doing the exact same steps yourself! Pause the video if you need to, or run it at double speed, the choice is up to you!

In this course, we create a traditional 3-tier application structure inside Microsoft Azure. By the end of the course, you will be able to:

Create a Windows VM using the Azure Portal
Create a Windows VM using Powershell and ARM Templates
Create a Linux VM using the Azure Portal
Create a Linux VM using CLI and ARM Templates
Create a Public-facing Load Balancer, and configure it to work with web servers
Create an Internal-only Load Balancer, and configure it to work with application servers
Create an Azure SQL Database
Create a Secondary SQL Database, for failover in case the primary goes down
Set up Automatic Failover so that Azure monitors the state of your database for you

There's a lot going on! And learn it all in around 90 minutes!

Microsoft Azure is one of the hottest cloud computing platforms that there is. They consistently announce growth over 90% year over year, and have done that for years. It's time for you to learn cloud computing and Microsoft Azure. Yes, there are other platforms out there that you can learn. And I recommend you learn more than one.
