This lecture introduces cloud concepts and infrastructure design, includes a hands-on case study with Azure Portal and virtual machines, and explains cloud technologies like IaaS and PaaS.
Compare cloud service models—IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS—and deployment models—public, private, hybrid, and community cloud, with examples of infrastructure, licensing, and software services like Salesforce.
Explore deployment models such as private, public, community cloud, and hosting services, and compare on-premises setups with provider options including Amazon, Azure, Google, and IBM.
Design and migrate a campus registration system to the cloud using IaaS or PaaS, integrating registration, billing, and notification workflows with a legacy read-only course catalog and a new database.
Explore the Azure portal to understand subscriptions, including free, pay-as-you-go, and Azure for students; learn to manage billing, payment methods, invoices, renewals, and cancellation.
Set up Azure subscriptions and sign up for pay-as-you-go pricing, then manage costs with cost management, cost analysis, and alerts across resources like virtual machines and resource groups.
Learn to pick a region and availability zone, choose an image (public or private), and compare on-demand, spot, and reserved VM pricing with bidding and eviction implications.
Create and attach a new OS or data disk in Azure, choosing premium or standard SSD or HDD with encryption at rest; set inbound traffic rules and a default VNet.
Launch a VM in a VNet subnet with a public IP and network security group for http, https, and rdp. Use extensions and custom data for post-deployment automation; then review.
Create your first Azure virtual machine, review deployment, and manage its lifecycle under a pay-as-you-go subscription, including ephemeral storage, OS disk, and public IP.
Explores Azure identity access management, role assignments, and disk and networking configuration, including inbound rules, snapshots, incremental backups, and vertical and horizontal scalability concepts.
Master azure vm sizing by series (b, d, e) for general, memory, storage, and gpu optimized workloads. Learn to connect via rdp or ssh and manage with just-in-time access.
Capture a running VM to create a customized image, then use Terraform to automate Azure resources and launch VMs from generalized or specialized images with gallery sharing and regional replicas.
Launch two virtual machines with two data disks each. Capture a VM image, delete it, then attach its disk to the other VM and export as a VHD via URL.
Learn to manage resources in a resource group by detaching and reattaching a data disk on the second virtual machine, then create a full snapshot and a disk from it.
Learn how to attach and manage disks for an Azure VM, including creating and using snapshots, and creating disks from snapshots or storage during or after VM creation.
Understand public and private IPs in Azure, including dynamic and static options with DNS aliases. Explore setting up backup with a recovery service vault, policies, and snapshots for disaster recovery.
Azure disaster recovery replicates a VM to another region for business continuity, with backup in a recovery service vault, 24-hour retention, and monitoring metrics like CPU and network.
Explore managing a virtual machine through action groups, alerts, and logs, enabling log analytics, inventory, troubleshooting, and redeploy, with automation and backup and disaster recovery.
