### Move Beyond the Chatbox. Become an AI Engineer.

Transition from standard cloud development to **AI Engineering**. In this code-first, hands-on path, you will build a production-grade "Smart Support Ticket" system. You will architect a serverless backend that automatically ingests raw text, processes it with Azure OpenAI, and stores the structured results for analytics.

Learn to navigate real-world enterprise constraints by securely integrating with pre-existing AI resources and handling strict API rate limits.

Evolution

Build a production-shaped generative AI solution in Azure by applying senior-level architectural judgment to model integration, serverless orchestration, secure data handling, observability, and operational hardening across the Azure ecosystem.

What You'll Learn
  • 1. Architect a scalable, Python-based backend using Azure Functions and Cosmos DB to ingest and process data.
  • 2. Programmatically integrate Azure OpenAI Service to transform unstructured text inputs into structured business insights.
  • 3. Implement production-grade error handling (exponential backoff) to manage API quotas and rate limits robustly.
Prerequisites
  • This path is designed for experienced Azure practitioners who want to build, connect, and operate a generative AI solution using Azure OpenAI, Azure Functions, Azure data services, and application monitoring.
  • Learners should be comfortable:
  • Architecting Azure solutions that combine compute, storage, database, identity, networking, and monitoring services
  • Building and troubleshooting event-driven workloads with Azure Functions or similar serverless patterns
  • Working with Azure Blob Storage, Cosmos DB, secure application settings, and diagnostic logs
  • Writing and modifying Python code that calls external APIs, handles errors, and persists structured data
  • Reasoning about authentication, regional placement, rate limits, retries, observability, and operational resilience
  • This path does not introduce Azure fundamentals, basic Python programming, or entry-level generative AI concepts. The content assumes senior engineer or architect-level judgment and focuses on building a production-shaped AI workflow that integrates model calls, data ingestion, structured storage, monitoring, and hardening controls across the Azure ecosystem.
