Description

Hybrid systems represent a real advantage for companies wishing to develop microservices and native applications in the cloud, while retaining local management. In this context, Windows Server administrators play an essential role in implementing these two types of environment. Indeed, each company has specific technical requirements that call for advanced configuration of their services, enabling them to manage and store their applications and data securely.
During the AZ-801 training course, you'll spend a day revisiting the fundamentals of cloud computing and exploring the different services offered by Azure. Once these basics have been established, you'll learn how to take advantage of Azure's hybrid features by migrating workloads from virtual and physical servers to Azure IaaS. You'll then focus on managing and securing Azure virtual machines running Windows Server.
Then, over four days, you'll cover topics such as high availability, troubleshooting and disaster recovery. You'll also learn about various tools and solutions, including Windows Admin Center, PowerShell, Azure Arc, Azure Automation Update Management, Microsoft Defender for Identity, Azure Security Center, Azure Migrate and Azure Monitor.In short, the main objective of this program is to prepare you for the official AZ-801 exam included in our offer.
