Course Outline
Audience profile
This course is for Azure Administrators. Azure Administrators manage the cloud services that span
storage, networking, and compute cloud capabilities, with a deep understanding of each service across
the full IT lifecycle. They take end-user requests for new cloud applications and make recommendations
on services to use for optimal performance and scale, as well as provision, size, monitor and adjust as
appropriate. This role requires communicating and coordinating with vendors. Azure Administrators use
the Azure Portal and as they become more proficient, they use PowerShell and the Command Line
Interface.
Pre-requisites
- Understanding on-premises virtualization technologies, including: VMs, virtual networking, and
virtual hard disks. - Understanding network configurations, including TCP/IP, Domain Name System (DNS), virtual
private networks (VPNs), firewalls, and encryption technologies. - Understanding Active Directory concepts, including users, groups, and role-based access control.
- Understanding resilience and disaster recovery, including backup and restore operations
