Course Description:
Hello, Cloud Enthusiasts!
In late 2022, I had the privilege of sharing insights on High-Availability (HA) Solutions in Azure at a local Azure User Group in Portugal. Due to event restrictions, we couldn't capture the talk for later viewing, which meant that those who weren't present live missed out on this valuable knowledge.
Fear not! I've taken it upon myself to recreate the experience from the comfort of my home and bring it directly to you here on Udemy. This course is a result of that effort, and although it was initially designed for a live audience, it's now meticulously crafted to fit into your learning journey.
Why Take This Course? 🤔
Before diving in, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Presentation Format: This course is a presentation with slides and commentary, tailored for an in-person event. If it were designed as an online course from scratch, the structure might differ, but the content is rich with insights.
- Non-Certification Focus: Unlike my other Azure courses, this one does not prepare you for any official Microsoft certification or exam. It's a high-level overview intended to inspire and guide your further exploration into the world of Azure HA solutions.
- Overview and Not Deep Dive: Given the time constraints of an hour-long presentation, deep technical details are beyond the scope. This course is meant to give you a broad understanding of HA in Azure, setting the stage for your deeper dive into specific areas if desired.
Course Outline: 📚
The course is structured around four key topics that will elevate your understanding of high availability:
-

Course Format: 📺
This course is designed to be consumed in one sitting. You don't need an Azure account or to follow along with any hands-on demos. The focus is on understanding the concepts and principles that underpin high availability in Azure, which you can then apply as you delve deeper into specific technical details on your own.
