Azure Storage Essential Training Course
Applications and infrastructure work with information or data. Applications create, transform, model, or operate with that information. Regardless of the type or volume of the data that your application uses, sooner or later, you need to save it persistently so that it can be used later.
Azure Storage is evolving, and new features are being added constantly. No matter what solution you are building for the cloud, you will find a compelling use for Azure Storage. Azure Storage’s essential training course will teach you the latest and greatest features Azure Storage has to offer IT professionals, developers, and cloud architects.
Azure Storage is a Microsoft cloud storage solution for modern data storage scenarios. Azure Storage offers a massively scalable object store for data objects, a file system service for the cloud, a messaging store for reliable messaging, and a NoSQL store.
This course provides a broad understanding of the Azure Storage landscape and an introduction to its concepts with hands-on demos, but now includes the latest features and best practices. We’ll explore new capabilities like built-in SFTP for Blob Storage, serverless automation with Azure Storage Actions, and advanced security options.
This course focuses on providing hands-on knowledge to employ and manage data storage strategies on Azure effectively, as well as the latest and greatest features of Azure storage. In particular, you can explore Azure Blob Storage, Azure Files, and Azure Queues, as well as security, import and export, and backup services for Azure Storage. By the end of the course, you’ll have everything you need to build and manage your own Azure Storage solutions.
In this course, you’ll learn the essentials of building and managing Azure Storage solutions, such as Azure Files, Azure Blobs, and Azure Queues.

AZ-801 Exam Cert Prep: 4 Migrate Servers and Workloads
Migrating Windows servers and workloads involve moving data, applications, and other resources from one Windows-based system to another. This can be done for a variety of reasons, such as upgrading to a newer operating system, consolidating servers, or transitioning to a cloud-based environment.
The process of migration typically involves planning, testing, and executing a series of steps to ensure a smooth transition and minimize downtime or disruptions to users. Effective migration requires a good understanding of the systems involved, as well as expertise in areas such as data migration, application compatibility, and security.
Even if you don’t plan on taking the AZ-801 exam, having an effective migration plan in place will help you migrate your workloads seamlessly from previous versions of Windows Servers, whether the application is running on-premises or in Azure.
