About this course

This course will provide foundational level knowledge on cloud concepts; core Azure services; security, privacy, compliance, and trust; and Azure pricing and support. Note: This course provides an Azure pass and time for students to participate in hands-on labs. If you do not need hands-on experience, consider the AZ-900T01: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (1 day) course. The content for both courses align to the AZ-900 exam objective domain.

• Differentiate Cloud Concepts and Service Models: Master the foundational principles of cloud computing, including the Shared Responsibility Model and the differences between IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, while identifying the right cloud deployment model (Public, Private, or Hybrid) for specific business needs.
• Navigate and Architect Core Azure Services: Gain proficiency in identifying and describing key Azure architectural components—such as Management Groups, Subscriptions, and Resource Groups—and core services including Compute (VMs, Containers, Functions), Networking, and Storage.
• Implement Governance, Security, and Cost Management: Develop the ability to describe Azure’s identity and security tools (like Microsoft Entra ID and Defender for Cloud), while learning to manage cloud costs using the Pricing Calculator and enforce compliance through Azure Policy.
