Design a Compute Strategy for Microsoft Azure
Understanding the compute capabilities of Azure is critical before embarking on any cloud project. This course will teach you the compute solutions available in Azure, and how to choose the right compute options based on different requirements.
What you'll learn
Architecting solutions in the cloud can be intimidating as there are so many compute options. In this course, Design a Compute Strategy for Microsoft Azure, you will gain the ability to identify the optimal compute solution for varying requirements, ensure performance and resiliency for the solution, and understand how different compute options can work together. First, you will learn the VM capabilities of Azure and how to scale. Next, you will discover the container-based services available in Azure, including their orchestration. Finally, you will explore how to leverage the most commonly used Platform as a Service compute options available in Azure. When you’re finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge of Azure compute services needed to fully architect an Azure-based solution.
