Course Information
-----
This course is up-to-date with the latest (October 26 2023) AZ-104 exam.
-----
The Microsoft Certified Azure Administrator exam one of the most sought after Azure certifications. It covers many of the core Azure services, and is very hands-on focused, covering skills you can use in the real world.
Throughout this course I'm confident you'll gain all the knowledge and skills needed to pass the AZ-104 exam. But more importantly, I've designed the content to help you actually understand when and how you would use these services. We'll walk through various scenarios, and hands-on demonstrations to give you the skills you need to work confidently as an Azure administrator.
Who Can Take This Course?
This course has been designed for students of all different types of background. We will progressively build knowledge and experience working with a variety of services, is such a way that will help you to gain familiarity with core products and features, before we move to more advanced services and configuration.
For example, we'll use the Aus-E-Mart web application to help learn about CI/CD, and containerization, whether you've worked with these things before.
