Microsoft Azure for .NET Developers - Cloud Patterns and Architecture
Building systems in the cloud gives you a range of abilities to build scalable, resilient, and highly available applications. This course presents you with design patterns and systems architecture for applications in Microsoft Azure.
What you'll learn
Building systems in the cloud gives you the ability to write highly available, highly scalable applications, and services that are resistant to failure. In this course, Microsoft Azure for .NET Developers - Cloud Patterns and Architecture, you'll learn the different architectural approach needed for building cloud applications, and see how various Azure services and resources fit into those architectures. First, you'll discover common architectural patterns used in Azure. Next, you'll learn how to design resilient systems with availability and disaster recovery in mind. Finally, you'll explore how to build for scalability and performance, so your applications can meet demand. By the end of the course, you'll have the patterns and architectural knowledge you need to build scalable, resilient Azure services and applications.
