Description

Welcome to Azure Load Balancing Services Course. This course will get you up to speed with all Azure Load Balancing Services (Azure Application Gateway, Azure Front Door, Azure Load Balancer, Azure Traffic Manager). You'll learn the best practices to implement Azure Load Balancing services. We will dive deep into each of Azure Load Balancing services separately, so you could focus on a specific Load Balancing service to achieve your goals. In order to get you the best learning experience for Azure Load Balancing services, I’ve created this course to be 100% hands-on to make sure you can apply what you learnt in real life on Azure portal. You will get to learn how to choose the right load balancing service based on your goals, whether you want a load balancing service to support your global traffic, or regional traffic. And whether you need a load balancing service that supports HTTP traffic or non-HTTP traffic. We will cover every single feature for all Azure Load Balancing services, so by the end of this course, you will acquire the right knowledge that would make you an expert in Azure Load Balancing services. So, you would know what is the right Load Balancing service to use, and how to configure it properly. Happy Learning!
