Developing solutions for Microsoft Azure

To be successful in this course, learners should have the following:

• Hands-on experience with Azure IaaS and PaaS solutions, and the Azure Portal.
• Experience writing in an Azure supported language at the intermediate level. (C#, JavaScript, Python, or Java)
• Abilityto write code to connect and perform operations on, a SQL or NoSQL database product. (SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB, Cassandra or similar)

This course teaches developers how to create end-to-end solutions in Microsoft Azure. Students will learn how to implement Azure compute solutions, create Azure Functions, implement and manage web apps, develop solutions utilizing Azure storage, implement authentication and authorization, and secure their solutions by using KeyVault and Managed Identities. Students will also learn how to connect to and consume Azure services and third-party services, and include event- and message-based models in their solutions. The course also covers monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimizing Azure solutions.

• Managing the Azure Blob storage lifecycle
• Working with Azure Blob storage

Module 4: Develop solutions that use Cosmos DB storage

Students will learn how Cosmos DB is structured and how data consistency is managed. Students will also learn how to create Cosmos DB accounts and create databases, containers, and items by using a mix of the Azure Portal and the.NET SDK.

Lessons

• Azure Cosmos DB overview
• Azure Cosmos DB data structure
• Working with Azure Cosmos DB resources and data

Module 5: Implement IaaS solutions

This module instructs students on how to use create VMs and container images to use in their solutions. It covers creating VMs, using ARM templates to automate resource deployment, create and manage Docker images, publishing an image to the Azure Container Registry, and running a container in Azure Container Instances.

Lessons

• Provisioning VMs in Azure
• Create and deploy ARM templates
• Create container images for solutions
• Publish a container image to Azure Container Registry
• Create and run container images in Azure Container Instances

Module 6: Implement user authentication and authorization

Students will learn how to leverage the Microsoft Identity Platform v2.0 to manage authentication and access to resources. Students will also learn how to use the Microsoft Authentication Library and Microsoft Graph to authenticate a user and retrieve information stored in Azure, and how and when to use Shared Access Signatures.

Lessons

• Microsoft Identity Platform v2.0
• Authentication using the Microsoft Authentication Library
• Using Microsoft Graph
• Authorizing data operations in Azure Storage

Module 7: Implement secure cloud solutions

This module covers how to secure the information (keys, secrets, certificates) an application uses to access resources. It also covers securing application configuration information.

Lessons

• Manage keys, secrets, and certificates by using the KeyVault API
• Implement Managed Identities for Azure resources
• Secure app configuration data by using Azure App Configuration

Module 8: Implement API Management

Students will learn how to publish APIs, create policies to manage information shared through the API, and to manage access to their APIs by using the Azure API Management service.

Lessons

• API Management overview
• Defining policies for APIs
• Securing your APIs

Module 9: Develop App Service Logic Apps

This module teaches students how to use Azure Logic Apps to schedule, automate, and orchestrate tasks, business processes, workflows, and services across enterprises or organizations.

Lessons

• Azure Logic Apps overview
• Creating custom connectors for Logic Apps

Module 10: Develop event-based solutions

Students will learn how to build applications with event-based architectures.

Lessons

• Implement solutions that use Azure Event Grid
• Implement solutions that use Azure Event Hubs
• Implement solutions that use Azure Notification Hubs

Module 11: Develop message-based solutions

Students will learn how to build applications with message-based architectures.

Lessons

• Implement solutions that use Azure Service Bus
• Implement solutions that use Azure Queue Storage queues

Module 12: Monitor and optimize Azure solutions

This module teaches students how to instrument their code for telemetry and how to analyze and troubleshoot their apps.

Lessons
