Designing an Azure Compute Infrastructure

Description

Microsoft Azure offers services for a wide variety of compute-related needs, including traditional compute resources like virtual machines, as well as serverless and container-based services. In this course, you will learn how to design a compute infrastructure using the appropriate Azure services.

Some of the highlights include:

Designing highly available implementations using fault domains, update domains, availability sets, scale sets, availability zones, and multi-region deployments
Ensuring business continuity and disaster recovery using Azure Backup, System Center DPM, and Azure Recovery Services
Creating event-driven functions in a serverless environment using Azure Functions and Azure Log Apps
Designing microservices-based applications using Azure Container Service, which supports Kubernetes, and Azure Service Fabric, which is Microsoft’s proprietary container orchestrator
Deploying high-performance web applications with autoscaling using Azure App Service
Managing and securing APIs using Azure API Management and Azure Active Directory
Running compute-intensive jobs on clusters of servers using Azure Batch and Azure Batch AI

Learning Objectives

Design Azure solutions using virtual machines, serverless computing, and microservices
Design web solutions using Azure App Service
Run compute-intensive applications using Azure Batch
