Introduction to Cloud Computing and the Azure Administrator Course
Hello friends, welcome to IT for You. I hope you are all doing well! It’s been a while since many of you have been eagerly waiting for a new course on this channel. Well, today I’m excited to announce that we are starting a brand-new course focused on Microsoft Azure Administrator.
In this series, we will delve into the AZ-104 exam which is essential for becoming an Azure Administrator. As I mentioned earlier, if you’ve already completed an MCSA (Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate) course, diving into the Azure course will be much easier. The knowledge gained from MCSA will serve as a strong foundation, making this new course even more helpful.
If you haven’t yet completed the MCSA course, I highly recommend you check it out on my channel and complete it before starting the Azure Administrator course. This way, you will already be familiar with many of the concepts and tools we’ll cover, making your learning journey smoother and more enjoyable.
What is Cloud Computing?
In today’s world, cloud computing is becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason. But what exactly is cloud computing? Simply put, cloud computing is the use of computing services such as servers, storage, and databases over the internet instead of relying on physical hardware. Cloud services allow us to access these resources remotely, making it highly flexible and cost-effective for businesses and individuals.
Cloud computing isn’t just limited to Microsoft Azure. Other giants like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud also offer robust cloud solutions. The difference is in how you access, manage, and pay for these services. For example, Azure allows you to configure and scale resources as per your requirements, which leads to significant cost savings and efficiency.
Why Choose Cloud Computing?
One of the biggest advantages of cloud computing is scalability. Let’s say your company has 500 users using a local server. Over time, if the number of users increases to 700, your local server might not be sufficient. In such cases, you would either need to upgrade the server or buy a new one, both of which can be expensive. Plus, you would need to factor in the costs of space, cooling systems, and maintenance.
With cloud computing, however, you can scale your resources up or down as needed. If your company has 700 users, you can increase your resources. And if the number of users decreases, you can scale down and only pay for what you use. This flexibility is one of the main reasons why businesses today prefer cloud solutions.
Moreover, cloud services offer cost savings. With local servers, you need to invest in expensive hardware, hire engineers for maintenance, and keep an eye on security. But with cloud services, you only pay for what you use, saving a lot of money on hardware and infrastructure.
Getting Started with Microsoft Azure Administrator
For those of you who are aiming to become Azure Administrators, this course is tailored for you. You don’t need any high-end hardware to complete this course. Whether you have a laptop with 4GB RAM or 8GB RAM, as long as you have a stable internet connection, you are good to go. All services will be accessed online, so there’s no need for heavy local setups.
Another perk is that Microsoft offers free credits for this course, which means you can start practicing and exploring Azure without spending any money. I will also walk you through how to get these free credits and make the most of them during the course.
What’s Inside the Azure Administrator Course?
In this course, we will cover everything you need to know to pass the AZ-104 exam. We’ll look into topics like:
- Azure Active Directory (AAD)
- Virtual Machines and Networking
- Storage and Resource Management
- Monitoring and Security
I’ll also help you prepare for job interviews, focusing on the common questions asked during Azure Administrator interviews. Whether you’re preparing for interviews within India or internationally, this course will help you gain the skills to ace those interviews.
Why Microsoft Azure?
While there are many cloud computing platforms, Microsoft Azure is known for its robust security features, scalability, and cost-efficiency. It offers a range of services from virtual machines and databases to AI and machine learning tools, making it a comprehensive platform for businesses of all sizes.
If you’re wondering why Microsoft Azure specifically, it’s because of its extensive integration with other Microsoft services like Windows Server, SQL Server, and Office 365, which is why many companies prefer it for their cloud solutions.
