About the course

Are you interested in understanding Microsoft Azure? Ever wondered whether it’s something that you should dive deeper into? Maybe you’re familiar with AWS or GCP and to want to understand Azure in comparison? In less than two hours you will be able to understand exactly what Microsoft Azure has to offer.

We’ll start by looking at the key building blocks of Azure, then we’ll take a look at each of the Azure services and their key features and use cases, so you can understand which ones may be useful in your workplace or own projects. By the end of this course you should have a good understanding of what Microsoft Azure’s services and be ready to dive deeper.

Although this is not in itself a certification course, it could act as a good prerequisite if you are looking to obtain any of the Microsoft Azure certifications.

  • An understanding of the Azure portfolio of services and their key features at a high level.
  • The ability to choose the correct Azure product or group of products for an application on Azure.
  • A clear understanding of where and how to expand on your Azure learning following this course.
