What You'll Learn
- This course is focused on securing solutions built within Azure, and so it is expected that you are already familiar with basic deployment, configuration, and implementation of several Azure services. For example, when discussing how to protect a virtual machine, we will focus on the features, services, and configuration required to do so. However, it is expected you would already know how to get a virtual machine up and running in the first case.
- As such, it is recommended you have either completed the Azure Administration certification, or have a similar level of experience and familiarity working with and configuring services within Azure.
- Within each domain are a variety of subtopics that we’ll cover in greater detail throughout the course. We’ll go through each domain, using each previous lesson as part of the foundation for the next topic, making it so that you not only can answer the questions on the exam, but also have a practical knowledge of how these pieces fit together and how you can design solutions to common problems faced in enterprises today.
- Learners should have hands-on experience administering Microsoft Azure and hybrid environments, along with a strong working knowledge of core services including Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory), compute, networking, and storage. Prior exposure to infrastructure design concepts, such as those covered in AZ-305, is recommended.
