Course overview
This course is designed for IT professionals who are new to cloud computing and want to learn about Microsoft Azure. It’s perfect for those who work with cloud services and need a clear overview of Azure products.
In this course, students will get hands-on experience using the Azure portal and the Azure command-line interface (CLI) to create services. No scripting skills are needed, as we provide solutions for using the CLI.
By the end of the course, students will feel more confident and ready to take other role-based courses and certifications, like Azure Administrator. The course includes lectures and demonstrations to enhance learning. It will also help prepare students for the AZ-900 exam.
Note: To pass the certification test, students may need to study outside of class to fully understand all the concepts. This class instance does not include a hands-on lab environment. You can work on exercises in a Free Account instead.
