What you will learn

  • Separate identity, control plane, data plane, and network boundaries.
  • Model capacity and protection with explicit assumptions.

  1. Azure resource hierarchy and responsibility

    Distinguish tenant, management group, subscription, resource group, and resource. Build an ownership model before choosing services or making any deployment request.

  2. Microsoft Entra identity and Azure RBAC

    Separate authentication, directory administration, resource authorization, and data access. Model a principal, role, and scope before interpreting an allowed or denied operation.

  3. Regions, availability zones, and failure boundaries

    Choose location and redundancy from residency, service support, and failure requirements. Distinguish a zone outage from a regional disaster and model surviving capacity explicitly.

  4. Virtual networks, subnets, and packet decisions

    Reason about Azure Virtual Network addressing and traffic boundaries before choosing rules. Separate routing, network security, DNS, service exposure, and application authorization.

  5. Compute choices and workload responsibility

    Choose a hosting model from application requirements rather than service popularity. Compare virtual machines, managed web hosting, functions, and containers while keeping capacity assumptions explicit.

  6. Storage models, redundancy, and data protection

    Choose object, file, or disk storage from access and lifecycle requirements. Separate durability, availability, replication, retention, and recoverability before selecting redundancy.
