Lesson Overview
Welcome to lesson 2! In this lesson we will cover Azure Infrastructure Fundamentals. Specifically, we will learn:
- What the various IaazS resource types are that we can deploy.
- How to use the in-portal wizard to deploy a virtual machine.
- How to do virtual networking and load balancing, which will be critical for our project at the end of the course.
- How to use Azure Monitor to optimize virtual machine performance and cost.
- How to use Azure Active Directory for role-based access controls, users, and service principals.
- How to use the Azure CLI (instead of the portal) to deploy resources.
- When to use Azure portal vs. Azure CLI.
This lesson is a doozy! We’ll cover a lot of concepts and tools and it may be helpful for you to have a good reference on hand so you can refresh your memory as needed. So before we get started, I suggest going to the Azure documentation and bookmarking it for easy access throughout the rest of the course.
(When in doubt, check the documentation!)
