Description

This Course is Now Upgraded to Az 104

Note : This course will continuously get updated to add new modules in Azure. Cloud is a moving target and hence any content that is obsolete will removed and new content will be appended right here. 

The idea is to make this a full blown Azure course that includes all the aspects of Azure infrastructure including , VM creating, managing networks, Azure AD , monitoring, Security, app deployment, Load balancer , WAF, Autoscaling etc. 

This course goes through all of the "Nit and Grit " needed to take and pass the Microsoft certification exam, Azure Bundle Prep for AZ-900 , AZ-101 , AZ-102 , AZ-103 , Az 104 and 70-533 . and Remember, Its not about just passing the exam. Its about excelling in your job in Azure. So you will get pointers to what is exactly done in real life with Azure GUI , PS and Azure CLI. 

What people are saying about this course :


Paulo de Sousa Ribeiro : The course is excellent. Beginning with the distribution of the topics  of the exam 70-533 (starting with VNETs, ​​which is the basics for  understanding the other topics of the course) - explaining all of them  in a simple, straightforward and easy to understand. It was the best  course I've done so far. 

Santosh Kumar : Cant get simpler than this.

explained very well....Thanks
