Description
Unlock your cloud career with this hands-on, beginner-to-intermediate course focused primarily onMicrosoft Azure and,AWS andAzure DevOpsconcepts and services.

This course is designed for learners who want tomaster Azure fundamentals, build real-world DevOps pipelines, and gain a strong foundation inmulti-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 likeAZ-104,AZ-400, orAWS— this course will take you fromcloud novice to confident practitioner.

What You’ll Learn

Core Azure services: Virtual Machines, Blob Storage, Azure SQL, VNet, NSGs, RBAC, and more

Azure DevOps pipelines: Repos, Boards, Artifacts, CI/CD with YAML and Classic pipelines

Infrastructure as Code using ARM Templates andTerraform(Azure-focused)

Identity & Access Management (IAM) and Azure AD integration

Monitoring and cost management tools in Azure

Key AWS services for comparison: EC2, S3, IAM, RDS, VPC

Real-world labs: Deploy and automate apps in Azure, then compare workflows on AWS

Best practices in DevOps, cloud automation, and platform comparison

Why 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 forAZ-104,AZ-400, andAWS Solutions Architect Associate.

What Makes This Course Different?

Unlike most cloud courses that start with AWS, this course is designed with anAzure-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 withhands-on projects.Then, we'll introduceAWSin parallel, helping you understand key differences and similarities between the two platforms.
