Description
Welcome to Microsoft Azure Az 104 Certificaton. This course teaches the participants to prepare for AZ 104 Certification. If certification is not in your mind at this time, you can still opt for this course as it gives you the knowledge to make you Azure ready and become a better Azure Administrator . This course is derived from Az 103 just like the certification itself. All the changes that were made to Az 103 by Microsoft to make it Az 104 are now incorporated in this course as well .We will dive into all aspects of Azure service offerings and work our way with simple tasks like creating Virtual machines , storage accounts etc . We would also learn how to manage them using Powershell and Azure CLI. A brief overview of the course agenda / description is mentioned below. Update : 2 Practice Tests added to reinforce your learningUpdate : Azure 104 Certification - 2021 Updates -Added 14 Sept 2021Update : Changes in September 24th 2021 : There are ONLY wording changes in Az 104 .There are no technological changes / addition of services with this update.Module 01 - Identity Module 02 – Governance and ComplianceModule 03 – Azure AdministrationModule 04 – Virtual NetworkingModule 05 – Intersite ConnectivityModule 06 – Network Traffic ManagementModule 07 – Azure StorageModule 08 – Azure Virtual MachinesModule 09 - Serverless ComputingModule 10 – Data ProtectionModule 11 – MonitoringTips for Learning : 1) Create an Azure account before you start the course.2) Always keep a notebook and a pen handy to make notes. Research indicates that traditional old school learning helps retain concepts for longer time. 3) Have an end date to finish the course. Dont let it drag forever. Its important to take this learning to next level before it evaporates. 4) Do as many labs as possible. 5) Ask questions. I love to work with my students and ensure they succeeed. Join me in the Q & A in the udemy portal. I hope this course would be informative to you in all aspects. Lets Get Started. Happy Learning.Some of the TOP Course Reviews :Gavin :  Great course.
