Course overview

In the modern world, the increasing demand for computer technology has led to increased usage and up-gradation in cloud computing. The ease of access to data and applications from any place, cost-saving, and low maintenance cost and efforts are some of the benefits of cloud computing.

A service designed by Microsoft called Microsoft Azure delivers cloud computing services to generate and control the applications by making the use of the cloud environment. Azure manages the provision of services like infrastructure as a service (Iaas), platform as a service (PaaS), software as a service (SaaS). It acts as a platform by supporting various frameworks and programming languages. It can be utilised as a stand-alone platform or in multi-vendor form of the cloud environment. Due to greater availability and resilience of the Azure environment, data backup in the cloud storage can be easily done.

The course Azure Infrastructure Fundamentals programme mainly focuses on the basics of Azure infrastructure and related services. The programme will also provide a deep understanding of security configuration, subscription, and storage acquisition. It will also provide exposure to create VNETS and virtual machines.
