Abstract

In this course, you will learn how to navigate through the rapidly growing number of cloud technologies taking as an example Microsoft Azure. Nowadays cloud computing is widely spreading across many organizations from startups to large enterprises, therefore cloud concepts are becoming a lingua franca for every person in the IT industry. To make the course practical we will take an e-commerce startup as an example to build cloud infrastructure satisfying its business and technical requirements. We will start with basic concepts like Virtual Machines and then explore a variety of advanced topics such as Containers, Mobile & Web Apps, Machine Learning, Big Data, and the Internet of Things. Through the lenses of cloud computing, you will also learn how to ensure the smooth operations of any IT system. This course is blended meaning that you will have to learn most concepts online on Microsoft Learn and Datacamp, while classes will be mostly devoted to practicing gained knowledge. No prior programming experience is required as Azure offers UI to provision computing and storage resources. The other type of hands-on is building solution architecture diagrams choosing appropriate cloud components to meet provided requirements.
