Start with an Azure subscription, organize resources into resource groups, manage identities with Azure Active Directory, and explore billing, AKS, and storage accounts.
Explore Azure fundamentals, service models, including infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, and software as a service, plus compute options like virtual machines and app services.
Explore Azure fundamentals for non-tech learners, covering data centers, regions, subscriptions, resource groups, deployment models, pricing calculator, storage basics, monitoring, and hands-on demos.
Explore how an azure subscription provides logical separation for resources, governance, and billing, and how role-based access control and azure active directory manage permissions across teams, environments, and apps.
Learn how to view and manage an Azure subscription in the portal, including subscription ID, billing, access control, role assignments, tags, and cost analysis.
Demonstrates automating Azure infrastructure with an ARM template, defining a storage account in a resource group using Visual Studio Code, then deploying and monitoring via the portal.
Explore Azure storage accounts, a secure, scalable solution for unstructured data, and compare redundancy options: LRS, ZRS, GRS, and GZRS for resilient, cross-region data availability.
Create a storage account in the Azure portal, choosing a resource group, region, and a redundancy model, while exploring pricing, networking, soft delete, and encryption options.
Explore Azure storage options, storage accounts, and redundancy models, including security with access keys and SAS tokens, plus blob, file, table, and queue storage types.
Explore Azure blob storage for unstructured data, creating containers, managing private and public access, generating SAS tokens, and uploading or sharing files via URIs.
Track anomalies, latency, availability, and capacity in blob storage with Azure insights. Configure action groups to send alerts by email or sms and monitor costs.
Explore Azure storage basics, including blobs, file shares, queues, tables, and disks, and learn to access data via http or https with scalability and redundancy options like lrs, zrs, grs.
Explore Azure high availability by understanding regions, availability zones, and availability sets, including regional resilience and SLAs from 99.9 to 99.99 to ensure resilient compute.
Learn to create and configure an Azure Kubernetes Service cluster, including cluster name, resource group, region and availability zones, node pools, auto-scaling, and container registry integration.
Access the Azure Kubernetes Service from the cloud or local CLI, retrieve credentials with az aks get-credentials, and use kubectl to inspect nodes, namespaces, and workloads in the cluster.
Capture and analyze resource activity by accessing logs, metrics, and alerts, pin to a dashboard, and export activity logs as CSV for sharing.
Explore cost management in Azure by analyzing spending across subscriptions, resources, and resource groups; filter by tags, services, locations, and download or share cost reports while setting budgets and alerts.
Learn how Azure management groups organize multiple subscriptions under a governance hierarchy, cascade policies and access controls, and enable cost analysis across production app and dev app.
Explore how Azure policy enforces governance and compliance by tagging resources, applying prebuilt definitions, and assigning policies that inherit across subscriptions. Identify noncompliant resources and apply exemptions as needed.
Microsoft maintained the No. 2 position in Gartner’s IaaS market share with nearly 60% growth, reaching $12.7 billion in revenue in 2020. The global healthcare crisis and disruption in workplace environments during the pandemic era drove increased demand from existing Microsoft Azure customers to migrate mission-critical workloads, such as from healthcare applications with AI-assisted bots, digital twins in manufacturing and e-commerce in retail.
Azure's versatility around different product range making it popular amongst top companies:
Broadly appealing: Microsoft has the broadest sets of capabilities, covering a full range of enterprise IT needs from SaaS to PaaS and IaaS, compared to any provider in this market. From the perspective of IaaS and PaaS, Microsoft has compelling capabilities ranging from developer tooling such as Visual Studio and GitHub to public cloud services.
Enterprise relationships: Enterprises often choose Azure because of the trust in Microsoft built over many years. Such strategic alignment with Microsoft gives Azure advantages across nearly every vertical market.
Data services adoption: Microsoft Azure’s forays in operational databases and big data solutions have been markedly successful over the past year. Azure’s Cosmos DB and its joint offering with Databricks stand out in terms of customer adoption.
