Azure / Intermediate: managed services and governance
Azure โ Intermediate: managed services and governance
Connect hosting, databases, private access, monitoring, cost controls, and infrastructure change planning.
What you will learn
- Explain service-specific responsibilities and dependency limits.
- Keep telemetry, budget, policy, and IaC evidence honest.
App Service and Functions execution contracts
Design a managed web path and an event-driven path with explicit state, scaling, identity, and deployment assumptions. Avoid treating serverless or managed hosting as a complete application architecture.
Start learningManaged database choices and data contracts
Compare managed relational and distributed-data options from transactions, compatibility, access patterns, and recovery. Keep engine management distinct from application schema and query correctness.
Start learningPrivate endpoints, DNS, and end-to-end access
Trace a service connection from the clientโs resolver to the target identity. Distinguish private endpoints, service endpoints, application outbound integration, and data authorization.
Start learningAzure Monitor and meaningful observability
Connect metrics, logs, traces, and alerts to an observable user outcome. Distinguish control-plane activity from application and data-plane evidence, and keep telemetry scope and cost explicit.
Start learningCost, budgets, policy, and governance
Treat cost accountability and resource governance as maintained controls. Separate budget notifications, access roles, Azure Policy, tags, locks, quotas, and actual consumption behavior.
Start learningBicep, desired state, and reviewable change
Treat infrastructure as a versioned contract with scope, parameters, dependencies, and a reviewed change plan. Separate syntax, what-if analysis, policy, deployment, and successful workload behavior.
