AZ-900: Complete Course - Microsoft Azure Fundamentals -2025

Discover cloud benefits like scalability and high availability through horizontal and vertical scaling. Forecast costs with the pricing calculator and strengthen governance and management of resources in Azure.

Understand how Azure regions contain availability zones, at least three per region, each with independent data centers, and how availability sets use fault domains and update domains to boost uptime.

Create an Azure virtual machine in a hands-on lab, select subscription, resource group, region, zone, and Windows Server 2022, then connect via remote desktop, test speed, and delete resource group.

Learn how to create an Azure container instance, a container service in the cloud, and run a quickstart image with a public IP and a web server on port 80.

Explore how Azure networking enables cloud connectivity with virtual networks, private IPs, and subnets, comparing VPN site-to-site, ExpressRoute, and VNet peering for Azure to on premises and Azure to Azure.

Explore Azure storage redundancy options from locally redundant storage to zone and geo redundant storage, including read-access variants, and learn how copies across zones and regions affect availability and cost.

Explore how Microsoft Entra ID replaces on-premises Active Directory for cloud and legacy apps, enabling single sign-on across LDAP, OAuth, SAML, OpenID, and Azure resources with AD Connect.

Learn the difference between authentication and authorization, and explore role-based access, multi-factor authentication, and conditional access to secure Azure resources.

Defend data with defense in depth by securing physical, network, compute, application, and data layers in Azure, using Microsoft Defender for Cloud to protect across these layers.

Explore zero trust in the cloud: verify explicitly, enforce least privilege with just-in-time access, assume breach, and apply end-to-end encryption, analytics, and defense-in-depth using Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Sentinel.

Employ zero trust and defense in depth to secure hybrid cloud environments; Microsoft Defender for Cloud provides a security posture score and recommendations across Azure, AWS, GCP, and on premises.

Master foundational Azure security and identity concepts, including authentication vs authorization, multi-factor authentication categories, Azure AD B2C, zero trust, Defender for Cloud, and practical data transfer, storage, and networking basics.

Demonstrate installing and using the Azure CLI on Windows, log in, list resource groups, create a demo resource group, and delete it to verify CLI workflow.

Discover how Azure Resource Manager uses resource groups and ARM templates to declaratively create and manage VMs and networks, and how Azure Arc extends management to on-premises for hybrid cloud.

Learn how Azure Arc manages on-premises and multi-cloud Kubernetes as resources. Explore arm templates, governance, pricing and tco calculators, Purview, policy, locks, and tools like Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI.
