Microsoft Azure Administration

This 4-day, intermediate course prepares IT professionals to implement, manage, and monitor Microsoft Azure environments, aligned with the skills measured in the AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator exam. The course is organized around the core responsibilities of a working Azure administrator: identity and governance, compute and storage, virtual networking, and monitoring/backup — the day-to-day tasks of keeping an Azure environment running securely and cost-effectively.

Participants manage Azure AD users, groups, and role-based access control (RBAC), deploy and configure virtual machines and storage accounts, design a virtual network with subnets, network security groups, and peering, and configure monitoring and backup using Azure Monitor and Azure Backup. Cost management and governance (resource groups, tags, policies) are treated as first-class administrative responsibilities throughout, not an afterthought.

This course is designed for IT administrators and infrastructure engineers taking on Azure administration responsibilities, whether migrating from on-premises Windows/VMware administration or starting fresh with cloud infrastructure. It is the standard prerequisite before Microsoft Azure Development for Cloud Solutions and Microsoft DevOps Engineering for teams building out a full Azure skill set.
