This 3-day course has been designed to teach AWS (Amazon Web Services) developers how to prepare end-to-end solutions in Microsoft Azure. In this course, you will construct Azure App Service Web App solutions and Azure Functions, use blob or Cosmos DB storage in solutions, implement secure cloud solutions that include user authentication and authorization, implement API management, and develop event- and message-based solutions, and monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize your Azure solutions.
Students in this course are experienced AWS developers interested in Azure development.
You will learn how developers use Azure services, with additional focus on features and tasks that differ from AWS, and what that means for you as you develop applications that will be hosted by using Azure services.
Students should have 1-2 years of professional development experience and experience with AWS. They must be able to program in an Azure Supported Language.
Module 1: Create Azure App Service Web Apps
Students will learn how to build a web application on the Azure App Service platform. They will learn how the platform functions and how to create, configure, scale, secure, and deploy to the App Service platform.
Lessons for module 1:
Module 2: Implement Azure functions
This module covers creating Functions apps, and how to integrate triggers and inputs/outputs into the app.
Lessons for module 2:
Module 3: Develop solutions that use blob storage
Students will learn how Azure Blob storage works, how to manage data through the hot/cold/archive blob storage lifecycle, and how to use the Azure Blob storage client library to manage data and metadata. Also, students will learn how to create an ARM (Azure Resource Manager) template.
Lessons for module 3:
Module 4: Develop solutions that use Cosmos DB storage
Students will learn how Cosmos DB is structured and how data consistency is managed. Students will also learn how to create Cosmos DB accounts and create databases, containers, and items by using a mix of the Azure Portal and the .NET SDK.
Lessons for module 4:
Module 5: Implement user authentication and authorization
Students will learn how to leverage the Microsoft Identity Platform v2.0 to manage authentication and access to resources. Students will also learn how to use the Microsoft Authentication Library and Microsoft Graph to authenticate a user and retrieve information stored in Azure, and how and when to use Shared Access Signatures.
Lessons for module 5:
Module 6: Implement secure cloud solutions
This module covers how to secure the information (keys, secrets, certificates) an application uses to access resources. It also covers securing application configuration information.
Lessons for module 6:
Module 7: Implement API Management
Students will learn how to publish APIs, create policies to manage information shared through the API, and manage access to their APIs by using the Azure API Management service.
Lessons for module 7:
Module 8: Develop event-based solutions
Students will learn how to build applications with event-based architectures.
Lessons for module 8:
Module 9: Develop message-based solutions
Students will learn how to build applications with message-based architectures.
Lessons for module 9:
Module 10: Monitor and optimize Azure solutions
Lessons for module 10:
