№ 01 / Overview

A first step that actually leads somewhere.

Microsoft Azure Fundamentals familiarises you with the main principles of cloud computing and how they have been implemented in Microsoft Azure. This course will get you up to speed on Azure services, security, privacy, compliance, trust, pricing and support.

Microsoft Azure is an emerging market leader and one we want to help you get up to speed with. Our Azure training library is a portion of our platform that is experiencing exponential growth. Whether you are looking to study for an Azure certification or simply want to find out more about what this vendor can offer your enterprise, we have curated content that will get you excited about Azure.

This learning path is an introduction to the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. We start with an overview of Azure services. Next, we dive into the specifics — core services: compute, storage and networking. Then we cover security, privacy, compliance and trust. Finally, we go over Azure pricing and support.

Who this is for: People who want to gain an understanding of Azure fundamentals. The only prerequisite is an understanding of general technical concepts. No prior cloud experience needed.
