Course Overview

This course will continuously get updated to add new modules in Azure. Cloud is a moving target and hence any content that is obsolete will be removed and new content will be appended right here. The idea is to make this a full-blown Azure course that includes all the aspects of Azure infrastructure including, VM creating, managing networks, Azure AD, monitoring, Security, app deployment, Load balancer, WAF, Autoscaling, etc.

This course goes through all of the "Nit and Grit" needed to take and pass the Microsoft certification exam, and Remember, it’s not about just passing the exam. It’s about excelling in your job in Azure. So, you will get pointers to what is exactly done in real life with Azure GUI, PS, and Azure CLI.
