	In this lab we will walk through the steps to deploy a public load balancer to load balance VMs using the Azure Portal.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;60 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is Azure Load Balancer?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	An Azure load balancer is a load balancer that provides high availability by distributing incoming traffic among healthy VMs and it works at Layer- 4 of OSI Reference Model using the TCP and UDP protocols to manage transaction traffic based on a simple load balancing algorithm and basic information such as server connections and response times.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	An Azure load balancer provides high availability for your application. The Azure load balancer is a fully managed service itself. A load balancer provides low latency and high throughput and scales up to millions of flows for all TCP and UDP applications.
	</li>
	<li>
	A front-end IP configuration is defined that contains one or more public IP addresses. This front-end IP configuration allows the load balancer and applications to be accessible over the Internet.
	</li>
	<li>
	Virtual machines connect to a load balancer using their virtual network interface card (NIC). To distribute traffic to the VMs, a back-end address pool contains the IP addresses of the virtual (NICs) connected to the load balancer.
	</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.

	The connectivity is secure and uses the industry-standard protocols Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) and Internet Key Exchange (IKE).
	</li>
	<li>
	It sends encrypted traffic over the public internet or Microsoft network.
	</li>
</ul>

<h2>What is VNet to VNet connection?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>
	It is used to set up geo-replication or synchronization with secure connectivity without going over internet-facing endpoints.
	</li>
	<li>
	VNet to VNet communication can be combined with multi-site configurations.
	</li>
	<li>
	These configurations let you establish network topologies that combine cross-premises connectivity with inter-virtual network connectivity.

<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;

</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<ul>
	<li>
	An Azure storage account contains all of your Azure Storage data objects: blobs, files, queues, and tables.
	</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>
	Blob access tiers enable you to store blob data in the most cost-effective manner, based on usage.
	</li>
	<li>
	Immutable storage for Azure Blob Storage enables users to store business-critical data in a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) state. While in a WORM state, data cannot be modified or deleted for a user-specified interval. By configuring immutability policies for blob data, you can protect your data from overwrites and deletes. Immutability policies include time-based retention policies and legal holds.&nbsp;

<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>

<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.

<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>

<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 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.

	</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>

	</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 we will go through various steps to create azure file shares and how to work with it.&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;30 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<h1>Introduction</h1>

<h2>What is Azure File Share ?</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 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;
	</li>
</ul>

<h1>Lab Details</h1>

<ol>
	<li>
	In this lab, you will learn how to prevent users to accidently delete resources using Azure resource locks.
	</li>
	<li>
	Duration:&nbsp;45 minutes
	</li>
</ol>

<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>

<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>
