COURSE CONTENT

Module 1: Application Architecture Patterns in Azure

• Introduces, and reviews common Azure patterns and architectures as prescribed by the Microsoft Patterns & Practices team.
• Each pattern is grouped into performance, resiliency, and scalability categories and described in the context of similar patterns within the category.

Module 2: Building Azure IaaS-Based Server Applications (ADSK)

• Identifies workloads that are ideally deployed using Infrastructure-as-a-Service services in Azure.
• Focuses on the VM Scale Sets and Virtual Machine services in Azure and how to best deploy workloads to these services using best practices and features such as Availability Sets.

Lab: Building Azure IaaS-Based Server Applications (ADSK)

Module 3: Networking Azure Application Components

• Describes the various networking and connectivity options available for solutions deployed on Azure.
• Explores connectivity options ranging from ad-hoc connections to long-term hybrid connectivity scenarios.
• Discusses some of the performance and security concerns related to balancing workloads across multiple compute instances, connecting on-premise infrastructure to the cloud and creating gateways for on-premise data.

Lab: Deploying Network Infrastructure for Use in Azure Solutions

Module 4: Integrating Azure Solution Components Using Messaging Services

• Describes and compares the integration and messaging services available for solutions hosted on the Azure platform.
• Messaging services described include Azure Storage Queues, Service Bus Queues, Service Bus Relay, IoT Hubs, Event Hubs, and Notification Hubs.
• Integration services include Azure Functions and Logic Apps.
