In this fast-paced era, both individuals and business are adopting cloud technologies at a breath-taking pace, and Microsoft Azure is often the choice for most of the medium-sized to big organizations. In cloud application development and day-to-day coding activities, developers often miss the real depth of how their application will actually reside in the cloud including some critical technical aspects. This course is structured with a focus on addressing this issue. In this course, 'Azure App Services for Developers', you will have a comprehensive view of core services Azure provides in their Platform-as-a-Service offering. Some of the major topics that I have covered in this course include: Web Apps - that lets you deploy and host your web applications into Azure API Apps - that lets you host your APIs into Azure and make them discoverable Function Apps - that lets you write small independent pieces of code to perform some specific tasks Logic Apps - that lets you orchestrate business processes and tasks using WorkFlows Mobile Apps - that lets you deploy the backend of your mobile devices into Azure At the end of this course, you will have a firm understanding of utilizing core Azure services in different business scenarios and you will feel comfortable and confident in programming the apps/APIs/serverless functions/mobile backends for Azure platform. What you need to know? This course assumes that you have a fair knowledge of software development and you are already familiar with development tools such as Visual Studio, NodeJS and SQL Server etc.  If you are a cloud developer already working on some other PaaS offerings such as Aws Lambda or Elastic Beanstalk and want to move to Azure, then you are welcome to this course. Although no previous information on Azure is required, but you should have an Azure account.

Cloud Computing has changed the way you look at and understand the IT infrastructure. Microsoft Azure is Microsoft’s public cloud computing platform. It provides a range of cloud services, including those for compute, analytics, storage, and networking. You can pick and choose from these services to develop and scale new applications, or run existing applications, in the public cloud. If you wish to dive into cloud development and management to design, configure, and build your cloud-based infrastructure using various services offered by Microsoft Azure, then go for this Learning Path. This  comprehensive 3-in-1 course  equips you with the practical know-how of managing various Azure Services for effective business over the cloud. You will be taken through the core of Infrastructure as a Service (IaSS) with Microsoft Azure to leverage different services offered by it. You will then learn different hybrid solutions used in Azure to build your own fully functional hybrid cloud management with Operations Management Suite. You will also master Azure services to build Platform as a Service (PaaS) cloud wherein you will be able to configure your web and API applications, and manage and test application performance. Finally, you will learn to make use of Database as a Service (DaaS) to know about the various databases with Azure. This training program includes 3 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible. The first course, Infrastructure as a Service Solutions with Azure , starts off with an introduction to the core of Infrastructure as a Service with Microsoft Azure, and equips you with the practical know how to manage various Azure Services for effective business over the cloud.

These days it's extremely hard for the non-professional traders to be profitable. Large financial organizations invest millions in data centers and computer algorithms that trades on the market and reacts to changes within milliseconds. However to be profitable for an individual trader no need to be the best trader on the market. It' is good enough to be better than average. Being an IT pro I've noticed that most of the non-professional traders are not aware of the possibilities that competing software giants like Amazon, Google, Microsoft give away to extremely low prices or even for FREE. Cloud computing services is one of them. Sure thing Microsoft Azure wasn't developed for non-professional traders in mind. Azure is complex, it consists of hundreds of services but doesn't be scared we need just a few of them and we are going to use just a small set of those features that we benefit. In this course, I will provide you with simple, step-by-step instructions and you really can apply them just after the lecture. Various tips & tricks will save you time. Don't miss the great opportunity that free tier from Microsoft Azure gives you away today. Every video-lesson has Q&A section and I will be more than happy to help you out if you have difficulties in understanding the lesson or applying it in your account. Looking forward to seeing you as the student!

In the past decade, cloud computing has been gaining popularity at a tremendous rate. Some cloud providers are experiencing a growth rate of 50% year over year – which is just astounding. And the reason for this growth is obvious – cloud computing enables ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal effort. Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform that offers a broad set of global compute, storage, database, analytics, application, and deployment services that help organizations move faster, lower IT costs, and scale applications. The Azure Resource Manager , provided by Microsoft Azure , is a versatile service that simplifies how you manage your cloud resources. The Azure Resource Manager can help you define, build and maintain your application in a consistent manner. Within the context of Azure Stack, the Azure Resource Manager is the management layer (API) where you connect to for deploying resources. With Azure Resource Manager ( ARM ) you can deploy, delete, or update all resources for your solution in a single and coordinated operation by using templates. The templates are in the form of JSON format, and these templates can be used for deployment in different environments such as staging, testing, and production. The Resource Manager helps in providing auditing, security, and tagging features to help you manage your resources post-deployment. Although we have the Azure portal for managing the resources but in cases where you need to maintain and deploy multiple servers, in complex configurations - it might get a cumbersome to handle these deployment and configuration activities via the point and click portal. Moreover remembering every resource category and their respective cost evaluation can become a mammoth task. As companies look forward to automating deployment, scaling, and operations of cloud applications in the Azure cloud (across clusters of hosts), there is a need for providing automated deployment solutions for the cloud infrastructure. With Azure ARM Templates , you can define your infrastructure environment in simple JSON file template. These file templates can be versioned, validated and checked into your source control systems. This is what we call Infrastructure-as-code ( IaC ). Do you know what it takes to design and deploy sophisticated cloud applications and manage your complex infrastructure via the use of ARM templates ? How does one go about automating the configuration of the cloud resources in the Azure cloud environment? How to make the deployment process consistent and repeatable? How to scale the infrastructure with a simple push of a button or a simple command? These are some of the fundamental problems Cloud and DevOps engineers struggle with on a daily basis. This course teaches you how to design, deploy, configure and manage your Azure cloud resources with Azure ARM Templates . The course will start with an introduction to the Azure ARM templates and their core features. Then we will dive deeper into designing and deploying our cloud resources with the use of these templates. If you’re serious about building scalable, flexible and robust Azure ARM Templates for deploying your cloud infrastructure, then this course is for you. These DevOps and Cloud Computing skills are in high demand, but there’s no easy way to acquire this knowledge. Rather than rely on hit and trial method, this course will provide you with all the information you need to get started with your Azure cloud projects. Startups and technology companies pay big bucks for experience and skills in these technologies. They demand DevOps and cloud engineers to automate the deployment of their cloud resources  -  and in turn, you can demand top dollar for your abilities.
