Azure Fundamentals: The Ecosystem

Continue exploring differences between cloud computing and traditional on-premises computing and how Microsoft Azure Cloud Services are made available to cloud customers in this 15-video course examining the Azure ecosystem. Here you will learn about Microsoft Azure data centers or physical facilities which are currently located in 140 countries and that when you deploy new resources you must specify the geographical location or region. Then you will learn how ARM (Azure Resource Manager) can be used to deploy or manage a single virtual machine (VM) or related resources as a group. Next learners see that the Microsoft Azure portal is a GUI (graphical user interface tool) in the form of a web application and the GUI management tool supports RBAC (role-based access control). You will learn to use the Microsoft Azure CLI (command-line interface) tool to manage resources from a command- line environment. You will learn to use Azure Cloud Shell CLI to deploy a Linux VM. Finally you will explore Azure Powershell to manage Azure resources at the command line. This is one of a series of courses to help learners prepare for the AZ-900: Azure Fundamentals certification exam.
