AZ-204T00: Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure

The AZ-204T00: Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure course targets developers aiming to master the construction of cloud solutions on Azure. It encompasses a diverse array of subjects, from crafting and deploying web applications to implementing Azure functions and harnessing Blob storage and Cosmos DB for solution development. Additionally, it covers the creation of IaaS solutions such as VM provisioning and container services utilization. Participants will garner hands-on experience with Azure services, facilitating the development of scalable, reliable, and secure cloud applications. The curriculum further explores crucial facets of cloud development, including user authentication and authorization, secure cloud solution implementation, API management, event-based and message-based solution development, and Azure service monitoring and optimization. Through the integration of labs and exercises, the course ensures that learners can adeptly apply these concepts in real-world scenarios. By preparing developers for the Microsoft Azure Developer Associate certification, it equips them with the requisite knowledge and skills to construct and maintain Azure cloud solutions proficiently.

Learning objectives

After completing this course, students will be able to:
• Deploy and update apps in Azure App Service, implement App Service authentication and authorization, configure app settings, scale apps, and use deployment slots.
• Create and deploy Azure Functions and utilize bindings and triggers to interact with other Azure services.
• Create Azure Blob storage resources, manage data through the blob storage lifecycle, and work with containers and items by using the Azure Blob storage client library V12 for .NET.
• Develop solutions integrating Azure Cosmos DB resources with the appropriate consistency levels, and perform data operations by using the .NET SDK V3 for Azure Cosmos DB.
• Implement authentication and authorization to resources by using the Microsoft identity platform, Microsoft Authentication Library, shared access signatures, and use Microsoft Graph.
• Securely deploy apps in Azure by using Azure Key Vault, managed identities, and Azure App Configuration.
• Implement the Azure API Management service to transform and secure APIs, and how to create a backend API.
• Build applications with event-based architectures by integrating Azure Event Grid and Azure Event Hubs into their solutions.
• Build applications with message-based architectures by integrating Azure Service Bus and Azure Queue Storage into their solutions.
• Explain how Azure Monitor operates, how Application Insights collects events and metrics, and how to instrument apps to monitor and troubleshoot issues.
• Improve the performance and scalability of applications by integrating Azure Cache for Redis and Azure Content Delivery Network into solutions.
