Azure Fundamentals for DevOps
Description
This intensive 4-day syllabus is designed to bridge the gap between core cloud infrastructure and modern DevOps practices. The curriculum provides a deep dive into Azure architectural components, including high-availability networking, scalable compute services, and secure storage solutions. Beyond fundamental administration, the program emphasizes Infrastructure as Code (IaC) through hands-on Terraform workflows and introduces critical FinOps frameworks for cost optimization and cloud governance. By combining practical labs in Azure CLI and RBAC with advanced resource management, the course empowers engineers to deploy, secure, and manage robust cloud environments effectively.
Intended audience
DevOps beginners, engineers transitioning to Azure
