Get started with Microsoft Azure as a Software Engineer
As a developer these days, you have to know Azure, as you're bound to run into it in your day-to-day job: cloud computing is a given. In this course, you'll learn the basics of Azure, which every developer should know about. You'll learn how Azure resources and services are organized and how you can create, manage and scale an App Service to host a web app or API. You'll learn how to store your data, from table storage and blob storage over queue storage to storage in an Azure SQL database, including which storage option best fits a specific scenario. Lastly, you'll learn how to investigate potential issues in your codebase by learning how to configure remote debugging and a variety of logging options, including integrating your codebase with Application Insights, querying logs, creating alerts and inspecting telemetry data.
