Microsoft Azure Courses

The capstone. Deploy the same 3-tier IaaS fleet four ways — Az CLI, Az PowerShell, Bicep, ARM. Head-to-head. End with a challenge lab picking the right tool per phase of an incident-response drill.

Read, maintain, and safely modernize ARM JSON templates. Master parameters, functions, copy loops, linked templates, arm-ttk testing, and the `bicep decompile` migration path.

Master the Azure CLI as a scripting-first admin toolkit — JMESPath, subscription/RG defaults, VM/VNet/Storage/RBAC lifecycle, tagging at scale. For admins moving from portal to reliable scripts.

Short-form Az PowerShell for IaaS admins — pipeline composition, splatting, Az.Tools.Predictor, and PSScriptAnalyzer linting. Companion to AZ-040 (course 444). VM/VNet/Storage/RBAC scenarios.

Ship a CAF-aligned Azure landing zone with Bicep + azd — hub-spoke, private DNS, RBAC baseline, Key Vault, Log Analytics, Azure Policy. PSRule.Rules.Azure enforces CAF/WAF in-loop.

Move from portal clicks to codified Azure infrastructure with Bicep — modules, deployment scopes, what-if previews, deployment stacks, and CI linting for administrators who need reliable, reviewable deploys.

Take ASP.NET Core apps from a first-deploy to production on Azure App Service. Learn deployment slots, autoscale, VNet integration, managed identity, TLS, and Application Insights, then ship a multi-tier web app end-to-end.

Build, evaluate, secure, and ship production multi-agent AI systems on Microsoft Foundry using the Agent Framework, MCP, LangGraph, RAG, and Zero Trust patterns — aligned to the AI-500 certification.

Build and orchestrate AI agents on Microsoft Foundry — from single-agent function tools + MCP + RAG through the Microsoft Agent Framework and A2A multi-agent patterns. Anchored in the Halcyon Insurance claims-modernization scenario.

Prepare for the DP-900 Azure Data Fundamentals exam with concept teaching plus Microsoft's current hands-on labs across Azure SQL, Storage, Cosmos DB, Microsoft Fabric, and Power BI, capped by an end-to-end certification challenge. By the end you'll be able to describe core data concepts, identify considerations for relational and non-relational data on Azure, and explain modern analytics workloads.

Operationalize ML and generative AI on Azure — Azure ML lifecycle, Foundry evaluations, GitHub Actions OIDC, RAG tuning, fine-tuning. AI-300 exam prep.

Build production-ready Python AI back-ends on Azure across 12 hands-on labs: containers (ACR, App Service, Container Apps, AKS), data services with vector search (Cosmos DB, PostgreSQL pgvector, Managed Redis), eventing (Service Bus, Event Grid, Functions), and security + observability (Key Vault, App Configuration, OpenTelemetry, KQL). Capstone integrates everything into the Northwind Logistics back-end. Prepares you for Microsoft Exam AI-200.

Foundational, hands-on AI-901 prep for business professionals. Learn Responsible AI, Foundry models, prompts, agents, text, speech, vision, and Content Understanding — all in the Azure portal, no coding required.

Foundational, hands-on AI-901 prep. Learn Responsible AI, Foundry models, prompts, agents, text, speech, vision, and Content Understanding — all on Microsoft Foundry using Python.

Build production-ready generative AI solutions and agents on Microsoft Foundry using the OpenAI Responses API, Foundry Agent Service SDK, Microsoft Agent Framework, Azure AI Search, Content Understanding (documents + video), Vision, and Voice Live — aligned to the AI-103 certification.

Run production Kubernetes on Azure — AKS clusters, networking, RBAC, monitoring, autoscaling, and GitOps with Flux v2.

Deploy serverless microservices with Azure Container Apps — scaling rules, Dapr integration, managed identity, and blue/green deployments.

Manage container images with ACR and run serverless containers with ACI — ACR Tasks, image scanning, container groups, and CI/CD.

Deploy and manage Python applications on Azure — App Service, Functions, Storage, Cosmos DB, Key Vault, and managed identity.

Start your Azure journey with 13 hands-on labs covering cloud concepts, core Azure services, virtual machines, networking, storage, identity, security, cost management, and governance for the AZ-900 exam.

Prepare for AZ-305 with 10 design-focused lessons covering identity, governance, monitoring, data storage, business continuity, and infrastructure architecture — with realistic case studies for each domain.

Master AZ-700 with 9 AI-guided lessons, 9 hands-on lab exercises, and a networking challenge covering VNets, VPN, ExpressRoute, load balancing, security, and monitoring.

Prepare for AZ-104 with 14 hands-on labs covering identity management, governance, virtual networking, storage, VMs, PaaS compute, data protection, and monitoring in live Azure environments.
