Azure courses

Microsoft Azure is a comprehensive cloud computing platform provided by Microsoft that facilitates the building, testing, deploying, and management of applications and services through its globally distributed data centers. It offers a wide variety of cloud services, including computing, storage, analytics, and networking, enabling businesses to innovate and scale according to their needs.

Learning Azure equips you with the skills to leverage cloud solutions for developing, deploying, and managing applications on a global scale. It opens up opportunities in cloud architecture, development, data science, and more, ensuring you are prepared for the demands of modern IT environments.

To start learning Azure, foundational knowledge of cloud computing concepts, and understanding of core database principles are beneficial. Programming skills can also enhance the learning experience as you explore Azure's various services, although this isn’t essential for the Azure Fundamentals track.

While Azure offers services that benefit from coding knowledge, it also provides a wide range of tools and interfaces that allow users with minimal coding experience to deploy and manage services. Our Introduction to Azure course and Azure Fundamentals Track do not require coding skills.
