Designing Infrastructure and Managing Migration

Course

In this course, you will go over the best practices for implementing High Availability within the Azure Cloud using different solutions. We will create a backup strategy/plan. We'll go through migrating on-premise resources into the Azure cloud with built-in tools. We will go over how to monitor and optimize migrated resources to ensure they are running at their optimum level using Azure Monitor and Advisor respectively. We will also go over how to use ARM Templates to automate the provisioning of resources using Infrastructure as code as well as enforcing an organization's policies and requirements automatically through Azure Policy and Azure Blueprint.
