<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>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;60 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<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 are Azure Durable Functions?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Durable Functions is an extension of Azure Functions that lets you write stateful functions in a serverless compute environment.
	</li>
	<li>
	The extension lets you define stateful workflows by writing orchestrator functions and stateful entities by writing entity functions using the Azure Functions programming model. Behind the scenes, the extension manages state, checkpoints, and restarts for you, allowing you to focus on your business logic.
	</li>
	<li>
	It enables us to write stateful functions in a serverless environment, and it allows us to define workflows in code.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	It also provides a good separation of concerns, the code that defines the workflow, is independent of the code that implements each step in the workflow. Durable Functions simplify the implementation of complex workflows, such as fan-out and fan-in patterns, or waiting for human interaction.&nbsp;

<h1>Introduction</h1>
<h2>What is Azure Cosmos DB ?</h2>
<ol>
<li>
Azure Cosmos DB is a fully managed NoSQL database that can be used for application development.
</li>
<li>
It is highly scalable with very low latency.
</li>
<li>
Management of Cosmos DB including updating and patching is done automatically without any manual intervention.
</li>
<li>
With the help of Cosmos DB SQL API, one can query JSON files using SQL.
</li>
<li>
Also, since SQL is quite popular among developers, it becomes pretty easy to query data in Cosmos DB.
</li>
<li>
While storing the data in the Cosmos DB database, the data is split into logical partitions, thus making it easy to query the data.

<h1>Lab Details</h1>

<ol>
	<li>
	In this lab we will go through various steps to create Azure Blob storage and store files in it.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;30 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is Azure Blob Storage?</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>
	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>

<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>

	</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.

<h1>Lab Details</h1>

<ol>
	<li>
	In this lab we will walk through the steps to create a Service Bus namespace, a topic in the namespace and a subscription to the topic.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;20 minutes.
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is an Azure Service Bus?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Azure Service Bus is a messaging service from Microsoft.
	</li>
	<li>
	It is based on the Pub/Sub messaging model.
	</li>
	<li>
	It supports queues and topics.
	</li>
</ul>

<h2>What is a topic and subscription in Azure Service Bus?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	They provide a one-to-many form of communication in a publish and subscribe pattern.
	</li>
	<li>
	It&nbsp; is useful in scaling to a large number of recipients.
	</li>
	<li>
	Each published message is made available to each subscription registered with the topic.
	</li>
	<li>
	A publisher sends a message to a topic and one or more subscribers receive a copy of the message, depending on the filter rules set of these subscriptions.
	</li>
	<li>
	The subscriptions can use additional filters to restrict the messages that they want to receive.
	</li>
</ul>

<ol>
	<li>
	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.

	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;50 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is Azure Resource&nbsp; Manager Templates?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Azure Resource&nbsp; Manager Template is a form of&nbsp; Infrastructure as a Code (IaaC) that allows the users to specify the resources to be created without worrying about how those resources are deployed.
	</li>
	<li>
	This service of Azure is really efficient when you need to repeatedly create the same set of resources.
	</li>
	<li>
	These templates are basically JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) files that contain the basic configuration of the resources as specified by the users.
	</li>
	<li>
	ARM Templates prevent organizations from writing any complicated complex deployment scripts.
	</li>
</ul>

	In this lab we will walk through the steps to install Internet Information Services (IIS) on your VM.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;30 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is an Internet Information Services (IIS)?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Internet Information Services (IIS) is a flexible, general-purpose web server from Microsoft that runs on Windows.
	</li>
	<li>
	The term &quot;IIS&#39;&#39; stands for Internet Information Services, which is a general-purpose web server that runs on the Windows operating system. The IIS accepts and responds to the client&#39;s computer requests and enables them to share and deliver information across the LAN (or Local Area Network) such as a corporate intranet and the WAN (or Wide Area Network) the internet.
	</li>
	<li>
	From media streaming to web applications, IIS&#39;s scalable and open architecture is ready to handle the most demanding tasks.
	</li>
	<li>
	Internet Information Services (IIS) turns a computer into a Web server that can provide World Wide Web publishing services, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) services, Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) services, and Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) services.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	You can use IIS to host and manage Web sites and other Internet content once you obtain an IP address, register your domain on a DNS server, and configure your network appropriately.&nbsp;
	</li>
</ul>

	<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>

<h1>Lab Details</h1>

<ol>
	<li>
	In this lab we will walk through the steps to deploy docker on your Linux VM.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;45 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is Docker?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Docker is an open source&nbsp;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>
	Containers are made possible by process isolation and virtualization capabilities built into the Linux kernel. These capabilities - such as control groups (Cgroups) for allocating resources among processes, and namespaces for restricting a processes access or visibility into other resources or areas of the system - enable multiple application components to share the resources of a single instance of the host operating system in much the same way that a hypervisor enables multiple virtual machines (VM)&nbsp;to share the CPU, memory and other resources of a single hardware server.&nbsp;
	</li>
</ul>

	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;30 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is Azure Front Door?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Azure Front Door is a global, scalable entry-point that uses the Microsoft global edge network to create fast, secure, and widely scalable web applications.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	With Front Door, you can transform your global consumer and enterprise applications into robust, high-performing personalized modern applications with contents that reach a global audience through Azure.
	</li>
	<li>
	Front Door works at Layer 7 (HTTP/HTTPS layer) using anycast protocol with split TCP and Microsoft&#39;s global network to improve global connectivity. Based on your routing method you can ensure that Front Door will route your client requests to the fastest and most available application backend.
	</li>
	<li>
	Front Door provides a range of traffic-routing methods and backend health monitoring options to suit different application needs and automatic failover scenarios. Similar to Traffic Manager, Front Door is resilient to failures, including failures to an entire Azure region.

<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>

<h1>Lab Details</h1>

<ol>
	<li>
	In this lab we will learn how to work with output bindings.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;45 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What are Output Bindings?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	A binding is a connection to data within your function. Bindings are optional and come in the form of input and output bindings. An input binding is the data that your function receives. An output binding is the data that your function sends.
	</li>
	<li>
	The type of binding defines where we are reading or sending data. There is a binding to respond to web requests, and a large selection of bindings to interact directly with various Azure services, as well as third-party services.
	</li>
	<li>
	Binding to a function is a way of declaratively connecting another resource to the function; bindings may be connected as input bindings, output bindings, or both. Data from bindings is provided to the function as parameters. You can mix and match different bindings to suit your needs. Bindings are optional and a function might have one or multiple input and/or output bindings.
	</li>
	<li>
	Triggers and bindings let you avoid hardcoding access to other services. Your function receives data (for example, the content of a queue message) in function parameters. You send data (for example, to create a queue message) by using the return value of the function.
	</li>
</ul>

<h1>Lab Details</h1>

<ol>
	<li>
	In this lab we will get to know about what are the different access tiers in Azure Blob storage and how to work with them.&nbsp;
	</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>

<h1>Lab Details</h1>

<ol>
	<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>

<h1>Lab Details</h1>

<ol>
	<li>
	In this lab, you will connect sending and receiving applications with Event Hubs so you can handle extremely high loads without losing data.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;60 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is Azure Event Hub?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	Azure Event Hubs is a big data streaming platform and event ingestion service. It can receive and process millions of events per second.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	Data sent to an event hub can be transformed and stored by using any real-time analytics provider or batching/storage adapters.
	</li>
	<li>
	Data is valuable only when there&#39;s an easy way to process and get timely insights from data sources. Event Hubs provides a distributed stream processing platform with low latency and seamless integration, with data and analytics services inside and outside Azure to build your complete big data pipeline.
	</li>
	<li>
	Event Hubs represents the &quot;front door&quot; for an event pipeline, often called an event ingestor in solution architectures. An event ingestor is a component or service that sits between event publishers and event consumers to decouple the production of an event stream from the consumption of those events. Event Hubs provides a unified streaming platform with a time retention buffer, decoupling event producers from event consumers.
	</li>

The AZ-204 course is a well-structured and comprehensive resource for anyone preparing for the Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate exam. It covers all key areas, including Azure compute solutions, storage, security, and monitoring, making it a great learning aid for both beginners and experienced developers.

Helpful Course

Lakshmi R

I recently revisited the AZ-204 course, which I had purchased with lifetime access, to prepare for my certification exam. Overall, the material provides a solid foundation for developing solutions on Microsoft Azure. This course is a great resource for developers looking to gain hands-on Azure experience and prepare for the AZ-204 exam. The combination of theory and practical labs makes it a strong choice, but ensuring ongoing access to hands-on exercises would improve its long-term value. Would recommend it for those preparing for the certification

videos are very useful to review services that you don't use often. With only video and without enough experience maybe they are not enough to pass the exam. I had experience in may azure services of the 204 exam and thanks to this course I passed the exam because i reviewed services that i used very rarely.

I highly recommend Whizlabs for anyone preparing for cloud certifications! I have used other platforms and this one is the best! I used their platform to study for the AZ-900 and AZ-204 certifications and successfully passed both. The course materials were comprehensive, and the practice tests were especially helpful in solidifying my knowledge. The platform also offered hands-on labs that made the learning experience more practical and engaging. Whizlabs made it easy to review key concepts and identify areas to focus on, boosting my confidence before the exams. Thank you, Whizlabs, for such an effective and user-friendly resource!
