Overview
Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform for building, deploying and managing services and applications from anywhere 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. This course prepares participants for earning the Microsoft Azure Administrator certification.
Azure Administrators manage the entire cloud services for any organization. For an Azure administrator, a deep understanding of all the services across the entire IT cycle is essential. Microsoft’s AZ-103 – Microsoft Azure Administrator has now replaced the erstwhile
AZ-100: Microsoft Azure Infrastructure and Deployment and AZ-101: Microsoft Azure Integration and Security tracks.
