Description
Unlock your cloud career with this hands-on, beginner-to-intermediate course focused primarily on Microsoft Azure and, AWS and Azure DevOps concepts and services.This course is designed for learners who want to master Azure fundamentals, build real-world DevOps pipelines, and gain a strong foundation in multi-cloud environments.Whether you're an IT professional looking to move into cloud engineering, a developer eager to automate deployments, or someone preparing for certifications like AZ-104, AZ-400, or AWS — this course will take you from cloud novice to confident practitioner.What You’ll LearnCore Azure services: Virtual Machines, Blob Storage, Azure SQL, VNet, NSGs, RBAC, and moreAzure DevOps pipelines: Repos, Boards, Artifacts, CI/CD with YAML and Classic pipelinesInfrastructure as Code using ARM Templates and Terraform (Azure-focused)Identity & Access Management (IAM) and Azure AD integrationMonitoring and cost management tools in AzureKey AWS services for comparison: EC2, S3, IAM, RDS, VPCReal-world labs: Deploy and automate apps in Azure, then compare workflows on AWSBest practices in DevOps, cloud automation, and platform comparisonWhy This Course?Azure-First Approach: Most cloud courses start with AWS — we flip the script to help you learn Azure first.Azure DevOps Focus: Master DevOps pipelines, infrastructure automation, and release management using Microsoft-native tools.Multi-Cloud Confidence: By learning AWS in parallel, you’ll be able to work confidently in hybrid and enterprise environments.Hands-On Projects: Real-world labs and guided challenges will help you gain practical experience — not just theory.Certification-Oriented: This course supports preparation for AZ-104, AZ-400, and AWS Solutions Architect Associate.What Makes This Course Different?Unlike most cloud courses that start with AWS, this course is designed with an Azure-first philosophy, so you learn Microsoft's fast-growing cloud platform from the ground up. You’ll build real-world cloud infrastructure, automate workflows, deploy apps, and create CI/CD pipelines — all with hands-on projects.Then, we'll introduce AWS in parallel, helping you understand key differences and similarities between the two platforms.What You’ll Learn (In Detail)Azure Cloud Core SkillsSet up and manage Azure Virtual Machines and resource groupsUse Azure Blob Storage, Azure SQL, and Load BalancersCreate and secure Virtual Networks (VNet), subnets, and NSGsImplement Azure Identity (Azure AD) and RBAC policiesAzure DevOps (Deep Dive)Understand Azure DevOps organization, projects, and repositoriesCreate build & release pipelines using Classic and YAMLIntegrate GitHub and Azure DevOps for seamless CI/CD workflowsManage Azure Boards for project tracking and automationPublish and version code with Azure ArtifactsAWS for Comparison & Multi-Cloud SkillsCreate and manage EC2, S3, IAM, RDS, and VPCsUnderstand AWS equivalents to Azure servicesCompare DevOps workflows using AWS CodePipeline.Infrastructure as CodeDeploy infrastructure using ARM templates and Terraform (multi-cloud)Version control infrastructure for reproducibility and collaborationSecurity, Monitoring & Cost ManagementAzure Security Center & AWS Trusted AdvisorCost calculators, budgets, and recommendationsEnable logging and alerts for cloud resource monitoringTools & Technologies You'll UseAzure PortalAzure DevOpsGitHubTerraformAWS Console & CLIBash (for scripting)By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:Confidently deploy and manage cloud resources in AzureAutomate infrastructure and application delivery with DevOps pipelinesWork across multi-cloud environments with easePresent real, hands-on projects in job interviews or certification prepMake smart architecture and security decisions across platforms
