Course Description
In this course, you will learn intermediate cloud computing concepts and examine the deployment of the most common cloud solutions. You will explore the configuration options and management of virtual networks, virtual machines, application services, databases and advanced security technologies.
Virtual networks provide the foundation for all cloud resources. This course examines how to plan and deploy these networks, including IP address allocation and internet routing. You will learn how to plan and deploy virtual machines, the most flexible of cloud resources. We will go over how to deploy both traditional web apps and the new container apps, and how to deploy Microsoft SQL server databases in the cloud. You will learn the purpose of the Key Vault and how it can be used to store encryption keys, certificates, and application settings such as connection strings to SQL databases.
