Course Code: 5019
|

$999

Overview

Microsoft Azure is a popular cloud computing platform for building, deploying and managing services and applications from anywhere and at any time. With Azure, one could add cloud computing capabilities to their existing network through PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) or IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) model to explore the IaaS architecture of Microsoft Azure.

Azure administrators implement, manage and monitor identity, governance, storage, compute and virtual networks in a cloud environment. They will also provision, size, monitor and adjust resources, as appropriate. Microsoft’s AZ-104 certification exam has now replaced the AZ-103 examination, as the latter has been retired effective 31 March 2020.

This course prepares participants for earning the Microsoft Azure Administrator certification, which will validate their skills and expertise as an Azure administrator and set them apart from the rest in the field.
