Course Goals

What are the Goals?

This course in Microsoft Azure cloud deployment, networking and security management is intended to equip delegates with practical technical skills spanning Azure infrastructure deployment, networking, identity and access management, security controls, and cloud monitoring and operations.

On completion of this course, delegates will be able to:

Manage and deploy Azure infrastructure: Set up and administer virtual machines, scale sets, storage accounts, App Services, containers, and Kubernetes clusters in the Azure environment.
Automate resource deployments: Apply ARM templates, Azure CLI, and PowerShell to automate and standardise Azure resource deployment and infrastructure administration.
Architect Azure networks: Create and administer VNet architecture, subnet design, NSGs, load balancing, DNS, VPN Gateway, and ExpressRoute connectivity.
Put Azure security controls into practice: Use the shared responsibility model, configure Microsoft Entra ID, and implement RBAC, MFA, Conditional Access, Key Vault, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
Administer identity and access: Create and implement IAM frameworks and role-based access structures throughout Azure environments.
Optimise and monitor Azure environments: Employ Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Azure Sentinel for monitoring performance, detecting security incidents, and integrating with a SOC.
Oversee costs and continuity: Implement cost management frameworks, optimise the use of cloud resources, and create business continuity and disaster recovery plans.
Create a deployment roadmap: Develop a secure and scalable Azure deployment roadmap that aligns with cloud governance and operational excellence frameworks.
