This course provides a comprehensive introduction to cloud computing concepts and core Microsoft Azure services. It is designed for beginners, IT professionals, and business stakeholders who want to understand how cloud technologies work and how Microsoft Azure delivers secure, scalable, and cost-effective solutions.
Participants will begin by learning fundamental cloud concepts, including the benefits of cloud adoption such as high availability, scalability, agility, and disaster recovery. The course explains key financial concepts like CapEx vs OpEx, different cloud service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), the shared responsibility model, and deployment models including public, private, and hybrid cloud environments.
The course then explores Azure architecture and core services. Learners will understand Azure regions, availability zones, resource groups, subscriptions, and management groups. It covers compute services such as Virtual Machines, containers, and App Services; networking services including Virtual Networks, Load Balancers, VPN Gateway, and ExpressRoute; as well as storage solutions like Blob, Disk, and File Storage with redundancy options. Identity and security concepts such as Azure Active Directory, RBAC, Conditional Access, and Key Vault are also explained clearly.
Finally, the course introduces Azure management and governance tools. Students will learn cost management using pricing calculators and budgeting tools, governance features like Azure Policy and resource locks, deployment tools such as ARM templates, and monitoring solutions including Azure Monitor, Service Health, and Advisor.
By the end of this course, learners will have a solid understanding of cloud principles and Azure core services, making them well-prepared for entry-level cloud roles and certification exams such as AZ-900.
