<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What are Azure resource locks?</h2>

<ol>
	<li>
	Azure resource locks prevent users in an organization to accidently deleting or modifying critical resources.
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure locks are different from role-based access control in a way that using these locks you can apply restrictions across all users and roles.
	</li>
	<li>
	Users can apply locks on resource level, resource group level or subscription level.
	</li>
	<li>
	There are two types of locks available in Azure:
	</li>
</ol>

<ul>
	<li>
	CanNotDelete: If this lock is applied to any of the resources, the user can still read or modify the resource but cannot delete it.
	</li>
	<li>
	ReadOnly: As the name suggests, with this lock applied, a user can only read the resource without causing any modifications or deletions.
	</li>
</ul>

<ol>
	<li>
	In the Azure portal, these locks are called Delete and Read-only.
	</li>
</ol>

</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is a Virtual Machine?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	A virtual machine (VM) is a virtual environment that functions as a virtual computer system with its own CPU, memory, network interface, and storage, created on a physical hardware system (located off- or on-premises).
	</li>
	<li>
	VMs allow multiple different operating systems to run simultaneously on a single computer
	</li>
	<li>
	A VM provides an environment that is isolated from the rest of a system, so whatever is running inside a VM won&rsquo;t interfere with anything else running on the host hardware.
	</li>
</ul>

<h2>What is a tag?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	You apply tags to your Azure resources, resource groups, and subscriptions to logically organize them into a taxonomy.
	</li>
	<li>
	Each tag consists of a name and a value pair. For example, you can apply the name Environment and the value Production to all the resources in production.
	</li>
</ul>

	In this lab we will walk through the steps to create, manage and assign Azure Policies.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;30 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What are Azure Policies?&nbsp;</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Azure Policy is a service in Azure which allows you to create policies which enforce and control the properties of a resource. When these policies are used they enforce different rules and effects over the resources, so those resources stay compliant with your IT governance standards.
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure Policy allows you to ensure that all resources are configured with required services, and will tell you when systems are out of compliance.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure policy is basically 3 components; policy definition , assignment and parameters.
	</li>
	<li>
	Policy definition is the conditions which you want controlled. There are built in definitions such as controlling what type of resources can be deployed to enforce the use of tags on all resources.
	</li>
	<li>
	Policy assignment is the scope of what the policy definition can take effect around. Scope of assignment can be assigned to an individual, resource, resource group or management group. Policy assignments are inherited by all child resources.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	Policy parameters are used by reducing the number of policy definitions you must create. Parameters would be used to define which type of VM SKUs to deploy or define a specific location.
	</li>
</ul>

	</li>
</ul>

<h2>What is an Alert in Azure?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Alerts proactively notify you when issues are found with your infrastructure or application using your monitoring data in Azure Monitor. They allow you to identify and address issues before the users of your system notice them.
	</li>
	<li>
	Metric alerts in Azure Monitor provide a way to get notified when one of your metrics crosses a threshold. Metric alerts work on a range of multi-dimensional platform metrics, custom metrics, Application Insights standard and custom metrics.

<h2>What is a private endpoint in Azure?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	A private endpoint is a special network interface for an Azure Service in your Virtual Network.
	</li>
	<li>
	When you create a private endpoint for your storage account, it provides secure connectivity between clients on your VNet and your storage.
	</li>

	In this lab, you will learn how to migrate on-premises data to the cloud using AzCopy.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;45 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is AzCopy?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	AzCopy is a command-line utility that you can use to copy blobs or files to or from a storage account.
	</li>
	<li>
	Using AzCopy tool, you can bulk-transfer from the local file system on an on-premises computer to the cloud.
	</li>
	<li>
	This tool performs its operations asynchronously and can use multiple concurrent threads to read and write data. Additionally, it&rsquo;s fault-tolerant. If a transfer is interrupted for some reason and fails, it can resume the operation from where it left off, once the situation is resolved.
	</li>
	<li>
	The latest version of AzCopy enables you to take incremental backups of blobs and can keep the contents of blob storage accounts synchronized so that they contain the same version of data.
	</li>

	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;30 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is Azure Blob Storage Tiers ?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Azure Storage is the Azure platform&#39;s managed service for providing cloud storage. Azure Storage is composed of several core services and supporting features. It is highly available, secure, durable, scalable, and redundant.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure offers three storage tiers to store data in blob storage: Hot Access tier, Cool Access tier, and Archive tier. These tiers target data at different stages of its lifecycle and offer cost-effective storage options for different use cases.
	</li>
	<li>
	Hot access tier :This tier should be used for the data frequently accessed by applications, and that is read or written very often. The data storage costs for this tier are higher than other tiers, but access charges are lower, thus suiting the target use case.
	</li>
	<li>
	Cool access tier: This storage tier is suitable for data that is not accessed frequently by applications and is expected to be stored for a minimum of 30 days; for example, for short term storage of backup, telemetry data, media files, etc. The cost of using the cool access tier is lower than using the hot tier, however access costs and availability are not the same.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	Archive tier : As the name indicates, this tier is intended to be used to store rarely accessed or archival data. Its storage rate is the cheapest on Azure, but the data retrieval charges are the highest. This tier is intended as Azure archive storage for data that is expected to be stored for a minimum of 180 days and that can tolerate a larger retrieval window. The Archive tier is useful storage for large amounts of inactive data, such as data required to be stored for compliance purpose, long-term backup, archived datasets, etc.
	</li>
	<li>
	These three data tiers are supported in General Purpose storage V2 and Blob storage accounts.&nbsp;
	</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>
	Azure Storage is the Azure platform&#39;s managed service for providing cloud storage. Azure Storage is composed of several core services and supporting features. It is highly available, secure, durable, scalable, and redundant.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	The word &lsquo;Blob&rsquo; expands to a Binary Large Object. Blobs include images, text files, videos and audios.
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure Blob storage is Microsoft&#39;s object storage solution for the cloud and it is optimized for storing massive amounts of unstructured data.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	Unstructured data is data that doesn&#39;t adhere to a particular data model or definition, such as text or binary data.
	</li>
	<li>
	With Azure Blob Storage, the files (photos, videos, training documents, etc.), which are known as blobs, are put in containers which function similar to directories. These are then linked to the storage account.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	One of the big advantages for businesses is that Azure Blob storage allows them to collect all of their content assets in one place. These will then be available all across their different departments and internationally. The speed, scalability, ease of access, and security make such cloud storage very attractive for all mid-sized and large organizations.

	</li>
	<li>
	Azure Files offers fully managed file shares in the cloud that are accessible via the industry standard Server Message Block (SMB) protocol or Network File System (NFS).
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure file storage mainly can be used if we want to have a shared drive between two servers or across users. In that case, we will go for Azure file storage.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	We can create an unlimited number of file shares within a storage account. Once we create a file share, then we can create directories, just like folders, and then we can upload files into it. Once we create a file share, we can mount that on any virtual machine, whether it is in Azure or outside.
	</li>
	<li>
	The SMB protocol is a client-server protocol for accessing shared files, printers over network, and for enabling inter-process communication.&nbsp;

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is Azure Virtual Machine?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Azure Virtual Machines (VM) is a on-demand, scalable computing resource that Azure offers. Typically, you choose a VM when you need more control over the computing environment.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure VM gives you the flexibility of virtualization without having to buy and maintain the physical hardware that runs it. However, you still need to maintain the VM by performing tasks, such as configuring, patching, and installing the software that runs on it.

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is a Virtual Machine?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	A virtual machine (VM) is a virtual environment that functions as a virtual computer system with its own CPU, memory, network interface, and storage, created on a physical hardware system (located off- or on-premises).
	</li>
	<li>
	VMs allow multiple different operating systems to run simultaneously on a single computer
	</li>
	<li>
	A VM provides an environment that is isolated from the rest of a system, so whatever is running inside a VM won&rsquo;t interfere with anything else running on the host hardware.
	</li>
</ul>

	.In this lab you will create an Availability Set, within which you will create two Virtual Machines.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;50 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

What is the Azure Availability Set?

<ol>
	<li>
	Creating an Availability Set provides users with a better SLA for the Virtual Machines.
	</li>
	<li>
	If two or more Virtual Machines are deployed in a single Availability Set, at least one of the instances has an uptime of 99.95%.
	</li>
	<li>
	Each Virtual Machine deployed in the Availability Set is allocated a fault and update domain.
	</li>
	<li>
	Microsoft Azure does not charge for the Availability Set. The users need to pay just for the usage of the Virtual Machines.
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Lab Details</h1>

<ol>
	<li>
	In this lab we will walk through the steps to create two peered Virtual Networks, launching a VM in both Virtual Networks and establishing a communication between both the VMs
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;90 minutes.
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is an Azure Virtual Network?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	An Azure Virtual Network (VNet) is a representation of your own network in the cloud.
	</li>
	<li>
	It is a logical isolation of the Azure cloud dedicated to your subscription.
	</li>
	<li>
	All the services deployed within a VNet can connect outbound to the internet.
	</li>
</ul>

<h2>What is VNet Peering in Azure?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Azure VNet peering enables you to seamlessly connect two or more Virtual Networks in Azure.
	</li>
	<li>
	These peered Virtual Networks appear as one for connectivity purposes.
	</li>
	<li>
	For peered Virtual Networks, resources in either Virtual Network can directly connect with the resources in the peered Virtual Network.
	</li>
</ul>

	In this lab we will walk through the steps to deploy a virtual machine and then understand the purpose of Network Security Groups by applying NSG rules using the Azure Portal.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;60 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What are Azure Network Security Groups (NSGs) ?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	A network security group contains security rules that allow or deny inbound and outbound network traffic, to and from, several types of Azure resources. You can specify source and destination, port, and protocol for each rule.
	</li>
	<li>
	A network security group contains zero, or as many rules as desired, within Azure subscription limits.
	</li>
	<li>
	An Azure network security group is used to filter network traffic to and from Azure resources in an Azure virtual network. .
	</li>
	<li>
	NSGs can be linked with subnets or individual virtual machine instances within that subnet. When an NSG is associated with a subnet, the ACL (access control list) rules apply to all Virtual Machine instances of that subnet. In addition, traffic to an individual virtual machine can be further restricted by associating an NSG directly to that virtual machine.

<h1>Lab Details</h1>

<ol>
	<li>
	In this lab we will implement the concept of adding a network interface to a virtual machine.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;30 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h1>What is a Network Interface?</h1>

<ul>
	<li>
	Azure Networking is a communication protocol for connecting multiple resources via the Internet. Microsoft provides various services and tools under Azure that make your network strong and easy to manage.
	</li>
	<li>
	A network interface enables an Azure Virtual Machine to communicate with internet, Azure, and on-premises resources.
	</li>
	<li>
	A Network Interface (NIC) is an interconnection between a Virtual Machine and the underlying software network. An Azure Virtual Machine (VM) has one or more network interfaces (NIC) attached to it. Any NIC can have one or more static or dynamic public and private IP addresses assigned to it.
	</li>
	<li>
	When you create a virtual machine through the portal, the portal creates a network interface with default settings and attaches the network interface to the VM for you.
	</li>
	<li>
	Also, Network Interface settings in Azure can be customized using command tools like Azure CLI and PowerShell.
	</li>
</ul>

<h1>Lab Details</h1>

<ol>
	<li>
	In this lab we will walk through the steps to create an Application Gateway using the Azure portal and routing the traffic to the virtual machines in the backend pool based on the URI path.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;60 minutes.
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is an Application Gateway?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	An Application Gateway is a web traffic load balancer that works on layer 7 of the OSI model
	</li>
	<li>
	It can make routing decisions based on additional attributes of an HTTP request, for example URI path.
	</li>
	<li>
	It supports SSL/TLS termination at the gateway, after which traffic typically flows unencrypted to the backend servers
	</li>

	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;60 minutes.
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is a Basic Load Balancer?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	An Azure Load Balancer is used to distribute the incoming traffic to the backend virtual machines.
	</li>
	<li>
	It operates at Layer 4 of the OSI (Open System Interconnection) model.
	</li>
	<li>
	This service can be used to provide higher availability for your application architecture.
	</li>
	<li>
	In a Basic Load Balancer, the Virtual Machines in the backend pool should be part of an Availability set or a scale set.
	</li>
</ul>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is Azure Function?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Azure Functions is a serverless solution that allows you to write less code, maintain less infrastructure, and save on costs. Instead of worrying about deploying and maintaining servers, the cloud infrastructure provides all the up-to-date resources needed to keep your applications running.
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure Function lets you focus on the pieces of code that matter most to you, and Azure Functions handles the rest.
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure Functions allows you to implement your system&#39;s logic into readily available blocks of code. These code blocks are called &quot;functions&quot;. Different functions can run anytime you need to respond to critical events.

	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;45 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is Azure Virtual Machine?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Azure Virtual Machines (VM) is a on-demand, scalable computing resource that Azure offers. Typically, you choose a VM when you need more control over the computing environment.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure VM gives you the flexibility of virtualization without having to buy and maintain the physical hardware that runs it. However, you still need to maintain the VM by performing tasks, such as configuring, patching, and installing the software that runs on it.
	</li>
</ul>

<h2>Cloud-init overview</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Cloud-init is widely used to customize a Linux VM as it boots for the first time. You can use cloud-init to install packages, or to configure users and security. Cloud-init runs during the initial boot process, there are no additional steps or required agents to apply your configuration.
	</li>
	<li>
	Cloud-init works across distributions. For example, you don&#39;t use apt-get install or yum install to install a package. Instead you can define a list of packages to install. Cloud-init automatically uses the native package management tool for the distro you select.
	</li>
</ul>

	In this lab we will go through various database services like CosmosDB, MySQL and PostgreSQL provided by Azure and also dive deeper into each of these services.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;60 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is Azure Database Service?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Azure Database Services ensures that customer databases are protected and monitored by establishing backup and recovery procedures, providing a secure database environment, and monitoring database performance.
	</li>
	<li>
	Today&#39;s applications are required to be highly responsive and always online. Applications need to respond in real time to large changes, store ever increasing volumes of data, and make this data available to users in milliseconds.
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure Cosmos DB is a fully managed NoSQL database for modern app development. As a fully managed service, it takes database administration off your hands with automatic management, updates and patching.
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure Database for MySQL is a relational database service powered by the MySQL community edition. It&#39;s a fully managed database as a service offering that can handle mission-critical workloads with predictable performance and dynamic scalability.
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure Database for PostgreSQL is a relational database service based on the open-source Postgres database engine.&nbsp;
	</li>
</ul>

<h1>Lab Details</h1>

<ol>
	<li>
	In this lab we will walk through the steps to create custom images for virtual machines.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;45 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is a Custom Image?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	An image is a copy of either a full VM (including any attached data disks) or just the OS disk, depending on how it is created.
	</li>
	<li>
	An image can be created from a VM and then used to create multiple VMs.
	</li>
	<li>
	When you create a VM from the image, a copy of the VHDs in the image are used to create the disks for the new VM. The image remains in storage and can be used over and over again to create new VMs.
	</li>
	<li>
	If you have a large number of images that you need to maintain, and would like to make them available throughout your company, you can use an Azure Compute Gallery as a repository.
	</li>
	<li>
	While enterprises can choose to use a prepared Azure Marketplace image, creating a custom VM image gives cloud administrators more control.When an admin plans to deploy several identical machines that have a lot of manual configuration, a custom image can reduce the potential risk of errors.
	</li>

In this challenge, your Azure VNet, Azure VM, Azure Firewall and Networking skills are put to the test. You will be given a requirement and you have to reach it using your knowledge of Azure VNet and other Azure services relevant to working with Azure Firewall. The lab challenge helps you understand the real-time scenarios.

A company XYZ has various virtual machines deployed in Azure virtual network. They have to control the outbound network access from a subnet of that virtual network by limiting the outbound IP addresses and ports. In order to achieve this, the company has decided to deploy a Azure Firewall and Firewall Policy by which they will be able to configure Application rules, Network rules and DNAT rules to allow only specific websites to be accessed from the VMs. Now your challenge is to deploy a firewall within an AzureFirewallSubnet and route the outgoing traffic of VM via the firewall.

<ol>
	<li>
	Create a Virtual Network with three Subnets in the&nbsp;West Europe&nbsp;region.
	</li>
	<li>
	Deploy a&nbsp;Windows Server 2019 Datacenter - Gen2&nbsp;Virtual Machine in two subnets in which one has only&nbsp;RDP (3389)&nbsp;as inbound port and other has no inbound port and no public IP.
	</li>
	<li>
	Select&nbsp;Standard SSD&nbsp;as OS disk type.
	</li>
	<li>
	Deploy Azure Firewall and Policy.
	</li>
	<li>
	Create a Default Route and add a route with destination IP as&nbsp;0.0.0.0/0&nbsp;and next hop address as private IP of firewall.
	</li>
	<li>
	Associate the Default Route to the subnet with RDP enabled VM.
	</li>
	<li>
	From policy in the firewall add an Application, Network and DNAT rule.
	</li>
	<li>
	We have to allow&nbsp;<a href="http://www.google.com">www.google.com</a>&nbsp;to be access from the subnet with RDP enabled VM.
	</li>
	<li>
	For Network rule, we have to allow DNS from CenturyLink (209.244.0.3,209.244.0.4) with destination port&nbsp;53.
	</li>
	<li>
	For DNAT rule, enable rdp port&nbsp;3389&nbsp;from source&nbsp;*
	</li>
	<li>
	Change the primary and secondary DNS address from RDP enabled VM to be&nbsp;209.244.0.3,209.244.0.4.
	</li>
	<li>
	Restart the VM and RDP into it.
	</li>
	<li>
	Login to other VM from first VM using&nbsp;mstsc.
	</li>
	<li>
	Try accessing a website other than google.com and the request will be blocked by the firewall policy.
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Cloud challenge details</h1>

In this challenge, your Azure VNet, Azure VM, IIS, Application Gateway and Networking skills are put to the test. You will be given a requirement and you have to reach it using your knowledge of Azure VNet and other Azure services relevant to working with an application gateway. The lab challenge helps you understand the real-time scenarios.

Due to increasing incoming traffic, a company XYZ has to increase the number of virtual machines hosting their website. In order to use the VMs efficiently, they have to divide the incoming network traffic to the virtual machines. To achieve this, the company has decided to deploy an Application Gateway which works as a load balancer at layer 7 of the OSI model. Now your challenge is to create a virtual network, deploy VMs in it, deploy an Application gateway and put the VMs in its backend pool.

<ol>
	<li>
	Create a Virtual Network with two Subnets in the&nbsp;East US&nbsp;region.
	</li>
	<li>
	Deploy two&nbsp;Windows Server 2019 Datacenter - Gen1&nbsp;Virtual Machines in one subnet with&nbsp;HTTP (80),&nbsp;RDP (3389)&nbsp;as inbound port and&nbsp;Standard SSD&nbsp;as OS disk type.
	</li>
	<li>
	Install IIS on both Virtual machines.
	</li>
	<li>
	First VM:
	</li>
</ol>

<ul>
	<li>
	Create a folder named&nbsp;images&nbsp;in&nbsp;inetpub &gt; wwwroot

	In this lab we will walk through the steps on how to access blobs using shared access signatures.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;45 minute
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is Blob Storage?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Blob storage is a feature in Microsoft Azure that lets developers store unstructured data in Microsoft&#39;s cloud platform. This data can be accessed from anywhere in the world and can include audio, video and text.
	</li>
	<li>
	Blob storage allows Microsoft Azure to store arbitrarily large amounts of unstructured data and serve them to users over HTTP and HTTPS.
	</li>
	<li>
	Microsoft defines three types of blobs: block blobs, append blobs and page blobs.
	</li>
</ul>

<h2>What are Shared Access Signatures?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	A shared access signature (SAS) provides secure delegated access to resources in your storage account. With a SAS, you have granular control over how a client can access your data. For example:What resources the client may access, What permissions they have to those resources, How long the SAS is valid.
	</li>
	<li>
	A shared access signature is a signed URI that points to one or more storage resources and includes a token that contains a special set of query parameters. The token indicates how the resources may be accessed by the client. One of the query parameters, the signature, is constructed from the SAS parameters and signed with the key that was used to create the SAS. This signature is used by Azure Storage to authorize access to the storage resource.

	</li>
	<li>
	SMB Azure file shares can be cached on Windows Servers with Azure File Sync for faster access where the data is being used.
	</li>
</ul>

<h2>What is Azure File Sync?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Azure File Sync helps in centralizing your organization&rsquo;s file shares in Azure Files, while keeping the flexibility, performance and compatibility of a Windows file server.
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure File Sync has the ability to transform Windows server into a quick cache of your Azure File Share.

<h1>Lab Details</h1>

<ol>
	<li>
	In this lab, you will walk through the steps to create an Azure container registry.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;45 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is Azure Container Registry?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Docker is an open source containerization&nbsp;platform. It enables developers to package applications into containers&mdash;standardized executable components combining application source code with the operating system (OS) libraries and dependencies required to run that code in any environment.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	Containers simplify delivery of distributed applications, and have become increasingly popular as organizations shift to cloud-native development and hybrid multicloud&nbsp;environments.
	</li>
	<li>
	The Azure container registry is Microsoft&rsquo;s own hosting platform for Docker images.
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure Container Registry is a private registry service for building, storing, and managing container images and related artifacts. In this quickstart, you create an Azure container registry instance with the Azure portal. Then, use Docker commands to push a container image into the registry, and finally pull and run the image from your registry.
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure Container Registry is a multi-tenant service, where the data endpoint storage accounts are managed by the registry service. There are many benefits for managed storage, such as load balancing, contentious content splitting, multiple copies for higher concurrent content delivery.
	</li>
</ul>

	In this lab, we will learn how to work with the autoscaling feature of Azure Web Apps.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;45 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is Azure Web App?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Azure App Service is an HTTP-based service for hosting web applications, REST APIs, and mobile back ends. You can develop in your favorite language, be it .NET, .NET Core, Java, Ruby, Node.js, PHP, or Python. Applications run and scale with ease on both Windows and&nbsp;<a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/overview#app-service-on-linux">Linux</a>-based environments.
	</li>
	<li>
	App Service not only adds the power of Microsoft Azure to your application, such as security, load balancing, autoscaling, and automated management. You can also take advantage of its DevOps capabilities, such as continuous deployment from Azure DevOps, GitHub, Docker Hub, and other sources, package management, staging environments, custom domain, and TLS/SSL certificates.
	</li>
	<li>
	A Web App is a web application that is hosted in an App Service.
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure Web Apps provides a platform to build an app in Azure without having to deploy, configure and maintain your own Azure VM&rsquo;s.
	</li>
	<li>
	You can build Web Apps using ASP.NET, PHP, Node.js and Python.
	</li>
	<li>
	They also integrate common development environments like Visual Studio and GitHub.

	<li>
	In this lab we will walk through the steps to implement Azure Bastion Service.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;30 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is Azure Bastion Service?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Azure Bastion is a service you deploy that lets you connect to a virtual machine using your browser and the Azure portal.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	The Azure Bastion service is a fully platform-managed PaaS service that you provision inside your virtual network. It provides secure and seamless RDP/SSH connectivity to your virtual machines directly from the Azure portal over TLS. When you connect via Azure Bastion, your virtual machines do not need a public IP address, agent, or special client software.
	</li>
	<li>
	Bastion provides secure RDP and SSH connectivity to all of the VMs in the virtual network in which it is provisioned. Using Azure Bastion protects your virtual machines from exposing RDP/SSH ports to the outside world, while still providing secure access using RDP/SSH.
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure Bastion has two available SKUs, Basic and Standard.
	</li>
	<li>
	Azure Bastion makes remote connection more secure by creating a private virtual network that is more secure and restricts access to remote machines and hence limits threats such as port scanning and other types of malware targeting your VMs.
	</li>
</ul>

<h1>Task Details</h1>

<ol>
	<li>

<h1>Lab Details</h1>

<ol>
	<li>
	In this lab we will walk through the steps to demonstrate securing Azure file shares.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration: 90 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is a Service Endpoint?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Service endpoints enable securing of Azure service resources to your virtual network by extending VNet identity to the service.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	Once you enable service endpoints in your virtual network, you can add a virtual network rule to secure the Azure service resources to your virtual network. The rule addition provides improved security by fully removing public internet access to resources and allowing traffic only from your virtual network.
	</li>
	<li>
	Virtual Network (VNet) service endpoint policies allow you to filter egress virtual network traffic to Azure Storage accounts over service endpoint, and allow data exfiltration to only specific Azure Storage accounts.
	</li>
	<li>
	&nbsp;Endpoint policies provide granular access control for virtual network traffic to Azure Storage when connecting over service endpoints.
	</li>
</ul>

I recently completed the **AZ-104 Microsoft Azure Administrator** course from Whizlabs, and overall, it was a **helpful and structured resource** for my certification preparation. Pros: Well-organized content: The course is divided into clear modules aligned with the AZ-104 exam objectives. Hands-on labs: These are especially useful for practicing Azure portal tasks and getting real-time exposure. Practice tests: The mock exams are close to the actual exam pattern and help in identifying weak areas.

Solid AZ-104 Prep Course,

Kwasi Larbi

The course structure is very practical. Some materials simply cover exam topic areas without necessarily delving into the practicality of the topic. Q & A are structured exactly the way they are seen on the exams. Overall I think a great product

Great Product

Les cours sont bien structurés et couvrent en profondeur les sujets nécessaires à la compréhension et à la réussite des examens. Les explications sont claires, ce qui facilite l'assimilation des concepts, même pour des sujets techniques complexes. J'ai apprécié la variété des formats, incluant des vidéos et des supports écrits, permettant d'adapter l'apprentissage à différents styles. Les labs pratiques sont un atout majeur de Whizlabs. Ils offrent une expérience concrète et permettent de mettre en application les connaissances théoriques acquises dans les cours.

AZ - 104 - Azure Administrator Associate

Justin Kean

I took the az-104 exam last week and passed using a combination of the Whizlabs practice exams, MS official AZ-104 content, John Savill's Youtube and a Udemy's Scott Duffy AZ-104 course. The Whizlabs practice exam helped tremendously, providing context and clarification to why answers were correct and wrong, as well as mixing up the breadth, depth and style of Azure questions in each test exam. Only advice I would give any prospective students, don't underestimate how much hands on lab and Azure hands on work you need to do, no substitute for breaking and fixing everything :-) I will definitely use Whizlabs again! Good luck all & thanks Whizlabs.

Great practise test
