Microsoft Azure Administrator (AZ-104)

WEBVTT You're watching ITProTV. (Music) Hello everybody, welcome to the Microsoft Azure Administrator AZ104 course. I'm Adam Gordon, an edutainer here at ITProTV and ACI Learning and your success guide for our journey together to help you understand what you need to do to be successful at taking and passing the AZ exam. In our course, we're going to be covering the five major topic blocks that Microsoft has outlined for this current version of the AZ104 exam. Join me here, you'll take a look and see them. We're on the Microsoft landing page for the AZ104 exam and you can go and check this out directly with Microsoft at any time. But you'll see them here starting at the top, managing Azure identities and governance, implementing and managing storage, applying and managing Azure compute resources, configuring and managing virtual networking. And of course, what good conversation, any conversation for that matter, about Azure would be complete. Let's talk about how to monitor and of course maintain all those Azure resources. Regardless of what topic block we're going to be taking a look at, regardless of the weighting associated with them on the exam, we'll be going through methodically taking a look at all of the various subtopics and skills that Microsoft has outlined, recommends you are aware of, and I will explain how those things work, what they are used for, and then of course how you can deploy them and use them at scale in your Azure environments. Whether it is, for instance, in managing Azure identities and governance, the use of and the creation of custom roles or built-in roles under the RBAC, Role-Based Access Control Model, whether it is in the implementing and managing storage area, the use of storage accounts and the different storage services that we can access. There are four, by the way. You know what they are. If you don't, certainly find out as we continue talking about them in the actual episodes in the course, whether it's deploying and managing Azure compute resources like virtual machines and or perhaps configuring and managing virtual networking and deploying VNets, subnets, load balancers, and application gateways as part of that thought process, and of course using the various monitoring capabilities, whether it's Azure Monitor and or Network Watcher, as well as recovery services capabilities like recovery services vaults and backup vaults. To be able to monitor and maintain Azure resources, I've got you covered with all the skills, all of the know-how, and of course all of the how-tos. We'll have hands-on demonstrations, make sure those hands are ready, and lots of time and opportunity for us to discuss and to integrate that knowledge as we make our way and create our journey and chart a path in a course through the AZ material. I look forward to spending that time with you. I've been working with Microsoft Technologies well since almost the very beginning of those technologies, and I love the opportunity to spend time with our members showing you how to make sense of complicated technology and put it to work for you both in the real world as well as on the exam where you want to practice those skills. I've got to do two things before we can get to that. Finish talking about them here and go get ready to do it in the actual course. I invite you to join me there as soon as you're ready and when you are. I look forward to spending that journey and that time with you as we both partner together to create success for you on the AZ104 exam. Until then, I wish you good luck. I look forward to seeing you in those upcoming episodes and when you're ready, please stop watching the overview and join me as we start our journey into the AZ104 course. Take care, everybody. Thank you for watching ITProTV.
