Course description

Microsoft Azure is one of the most popular public clouds in the industry, and it gets bigger and bigger by the day. Thousands of organizations, from all sizes and shapes, are moving to the cloud, and being able to work with it is one of the most important skills for every developer, architect, or IT admin.

And this course does just that.

If you'll take this course, you'll become a real expert in Microsoft Azure.

We start from the very basics - what is the cloud and what it's good for - and go to the most advanced concepts such as Azure Policy, Cost management, and lots more.

By the end of this course you'll be familiar with the major services in Azure, and also some real hidden gems known only to the few (Azure IMDS, for instance), and you'll be able to work with Azure and design and build modern cloud apps, utilizing the most up-to-date cloud services.

Here is a partial list of what we'll talk about in this course:

- What is the cloud

- Azure vs other clouds

- The Azure portal

- Azure Compute - Virtual Machines, App Services, AKS, Azure Functions and more

- Azure Networking - VNets, Subnets, NSG, Application Gateway and more

- Data in Azure - Azure SQL, CosmosDB, Azure MySQL, Storage Account and more

- Messaging in Azure - Event Grid, Queues, Service Bus, Event Hubs

- Azure Active Directory (also known as Azure AD)

- Logging and Monitoring in Azure

- Securing systems in Azure

- Cost Management

- Disaster Recovery (DR)

And lots and lots more...

Now, to make sure that this course is the best Azure course out there, I've decided to make it a little bit different.

Instead of going through the various features of Azure, talking about each one and perhaps even doing a demo - this course takes a different approach.

We're going to build, together, a full blown modern cloud system on Azure.

Together, we're going to build the readit website, a fictional bookstore that's built in Azure.

We're going to begin with the very basics - take a code and put it on a virtual machine in the cloud.

And then we're going to add more compute elements, add networking, databases, messaging, monitoring, security, and even DR! (Take a look at the video preview - you can see there the architecture diagram of the system at the beginning, and how it looks like when we're done with it. Worth watching...)

And when we're done - you'll be able to say that you've built a complete system in Azure!

This is something you can show future employers and clients, and explain them how the system is designed, and what are the reasons it's built like this.

Now, don't worry about the code. Everything it going to be provided to you.

The system is built using .NET Core and nodeJS, but you don't have to be familiar with these languages, you just better have some development knowledge.

There is no other course like this!

This is the only Azure course that takes you step-by-step towards a complete, full blown system in the cloud. At the end of it - you can definitely call yourself Azure Expert.


But that's not all...

At the end of this course, you'll be able to download the Azure Architecture Summary, a comprehensive, step-by-step guide that summarizes what we've learned in the course, and that will help you design great Azure apps.

This summary is an extremely handy doc to use when designing future Azure apps. I use it and it helps me a lot - and so should you...


This course takes you from the absolute basics of Azure to the most advanced topics, known only to few. Completing this course will give you all the knowledge required for designing modern, robust, secure and reliable cloud systems, and, as a bonus, will put you in a great position when looking for your next job.

No other course covers this topic in such a comprehensive and thorough way. I've put all my 20+ years of experience with hundreds of clients in this course, and I'm sure you will greatly benefit from it.
