Course Description
Unlock your cloud career with this hands-on, beginner-to-intermediate course focused primarily on Microsoft Azure and, AWS and Azure DevOps concepts and services.
This course is designed for learners who want to master Azure fundamentals, build real-world DevOps pipelines, and gain a strong foundation in multi-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 like AZ-104, AZ-400, or AWS — this course will take you from cloud 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 and Terraform (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 for AZ-104, AZ-400, and AWS Solutions Architect Associate.
What Makes This Course Different?
Unlike most cloud courses that start with AWS, this course is designed with an Azure-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 with hands-on projects.
Then, we’ll introduce AWS in parallel, helping you understand key differences and similarities between the two platforms.
