Participants will learn fundamental cloud concepts before gaining hands-on experience with Azure resources, including virtual machines, application hosting, storage, networking, databases, identity, security, monitoring and cost management. Learners will use the Azure Portal and other management tools to create, configure and manage cloud resources. The course also includes a practical deployment exercise where learners publish a working application to Microsoft Azure and access it through a public web address. It is suitable for aspiring cloud professionals, developers, data and AI learners, IT professionals and anyone who wants practical experience using Microsoft Azure. Requirements No previous experience with Microsoft Azure or cloud computing is required. Participants should have basic computer and internet skills and be familiar with general IT concepts such as files, applications, databases and computer networks. No programming experience is required. A pre-built sample application can be provided for the practical deployment exercises. Learners will need access to a Microsoft Azure account with an active subscription for hands-on exercises. Some Azure services may incur charges depending on the resources and pricing options used. Learners will be shown how to monitor costs and remove resources that are no longer required.
