SUMMARY:Academy UP: Fundamentals of Cloud Administration with Azure (1/4)
DESCRIPTION:Take your Azure expertise to the next level with our deep-dive course on Microsoft Azure! This four-week program explores key cloud concepts\, including identity and access management with Entra ID\, scalable storage and compute solutions\, and network architecture best practices. You’ll also learn how to automate infrastructure deployment and optimize monitoring\, alerting\, and compliance. Perfect for those with foundational Azure knowledge looking to expand their skills\, this hands-on course will equip you with practical insights to design and manage Azure environments effectively. \nPrerequisites: \n\nKnowledge of Cloud Foundations \, a Cloud Computing course at a university or equivalent. Basic familiarity with Bash and the command line.\nBefore Day 1: Students must decide on “pay-as-you-go subscription” (take the free course to set up their subscription) or do labs in Microsoft’s sandbox.\n\nThank you to Cognizant for supporting the ShiftKey Academy UP program\, making these courses possible. \n \n📅 Dates: May 8th\, 15th\, 22nd\, and 29th \n⏰ Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM\n📌 Location: Goldberg Computer Science Building\, Room 143\n💰 Cost: FREE! \nRegister Here: https://airtable.com/appkB4tLGaUIf7rIf/shrRXVDaYwEt6eTGg \nNote: Attendance is required for 3 sessions to earn certification\, as well as successful completion of assessment.
