What you'll learn

In this course, Basic Navigation and Deployment Patterns for Azure, you’ll gain the ability to confidently navigate the Azure platform and prepare correct deployment contexts.
First, you’ll explore Azure’s global infrastructure, subscriptions, resource groups, and how they shape where resources live. Next, you’ll discover how to use the Azure portal and Cloud Shell together to move between visual and command-line workflows – and how Copilot can best assist you in those efforts. Finally, you’ll learn how to correctly set deployment scope, identify common mistakes, and fix them quickly.
When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge needed to confidently deploy and manage resources in Azure and build a strong foundation for deeper topics like compute, storage, and identity.

Howdy fellow student of life! Thanks for your interest in learning more about what makes me tick. Throughout my tech career, I found that I had the most fun and the greatest satisfaction when I was helping others learn about and embrace software and related technologies. So, when I was honored to be offered a staff position as a training architect -- I realized a dream to combine my passion for technology and my passion for teaching others. I hope that the material I provide plays some small part in helping you pursue your passions, too. A leader of people, a shepherd of data -- and a follower of both -- I have more than 30 years in the tech industry, much of it focused on Microsoft stack services and databases, for both on-prem and cloud implementations. I cut my cloud teeth while reducing a patent to practice; we implemented a card game paradigm in a WCF service on Azure. It was late in 2012, when interacting with Azure involved a lot of co-mentoring with erstwhile Microsoft folks. I've had my head in the cloud(s) ever since!
