Course Description
Azure Active Directory is used to identify users and supports advanced features like multi-factor authentication and Active Directory synchronization. Azure also provides many tools for cloud cost management and ensuring high availability. Developer tools also provide options for developing scalable distributed applications in the cloud. Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell give engineers an alternate way to create and manage resources. ARM templates are a feature in Azure that allows engineers to create resources from predefined templates. Understanding these advanced features of Microsoft Azure will help engineers and architects design robust solutions that take advantage of modern cloud capabilities.
In this course, you will learn advanced cloud computing concepts and how to implement complex cloud solutions. You will explore the configuration options and management of Azure Active Directory, cloud cost management, high availability, and disaster recovery. You will also learn about cosmos DB, function apps, command line administration, and ARM templates.
