About
Cloud computing solutions can offer significant benefits to institutions of any size, saving time, resources and reducing costs.
This two-day course provides an insight into Microsoft Azure, allowing delegates to:
- Gain useful information to support determining the most cost-effective solutions
- Develop expertise in implementing common services such as:
- Azure virtual machines (VMs), virtual networks and storage
- Web apps
- SQL databases
- Azure Active Directory (AD) - including integration with on-premises AD
This course is delivered through a mix of instructor led training and hands-on labs. It includes a trial Azure subscription providing 30 days access to Azure (maximum spend of £75.00).
Delegates are advised that any email account used to subscribe to the Azure trial subscriptions will be locked to them and cannot be used again for other Azure subscriptions.
