WHAT YOU WILL LEARN COURSE OUTLINE
MCSA – Cloud Platform
Dynamic web applications must store the data that is being managed and manipulated by end users. In the cloud, the Microsoft Azure platform provides a database as a service offering that allows developers to use SQL. Participants will be provided the knowledge on Azure SQL Database and storing event data. This module also covers design practices for highly available applications.
In Azure, there is a wide variety of database services available for applications to store unstructured data in a flexible, schema-free and scalable fashion. Azure also provides a Blob storage mechanism that not only offers high performance but also supports integration to Microsoft Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) for low latency downloads. This course is designed to provide a complete overview of Azure Storage.
This module will look at automating the lifecycle of services by using client libraries, Windows PowerShell, REST, and the Resource Manager. Participants will use windows PowerShell to automate Azure REST during the course.
Although you can deploy your cloud applications manually, it is in your best interest to begin automating cloud-based deployments. Automation creates many benefits including the ability to trace past actions, easier repetition of deployment tasks and reduced possibility of human error. Applications in the cloud need streamlined security mechanisms that are flexible: this module shares the techniques of DevOps to secure Azure applications.
This modules teaches how to plan virtual networks in Azure and implement and manage virtual networks. It also explains how to configure cross-premises connectivity and connectivity between virtual networks in Azure. Students also learn how to deploy and manage Azure VMs.
This modules overviews the different types of apps that one can create by using the Azure App Service. You learn how to choose an app service plan and deployment method for apps in Azure. This module also focuses on implementing storage, backup, and recovery services.
Learn the deploying of Azure cloud services and active directory, the configuration of single sign-on (SSO) for cloud applications and resources, and the implementation of Azure role-based access Control (RBAC) for cloud resources.
