About this Course

This 4-day course teaches IT Professionals how to manage their Azure
subscriptions, create and scale virtual machines, implement storage
solutions, configure virtual networking, back up and share data, connect
Azure and on-premises sites, manage network traffic, implement Azure Active
Directory, secure identities, and monitor your solution.

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.

Prerequisites

• Understanding of on-premises virtualization technologies, including:
  VMs, virtual networking, and virtual hard disks.
• Understanding of network configuration, including TCP/IP, Domain Name
  System (DNS), virtual private networks (VPNs), firewalls, and
  encryption technologies.
• Understanding of Active Directory concepts, including domains, forests,
  domain controllers, replication, Kerberos protocol, and Lightweight
  Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
• Understanding of resilience and disaster recovery, including backup and
  restore operations.
