Prerequisites
Understanding Microsoft Azure Architecture and Services1
Identity and Access Management in Azure
In this chapter, you’ll first get hands-on with Microsoft Entra ID to manage users, groups, and roles in a secure, centralized way. Then, you’ll build a solid foundation in identity management, exploring how authentication, authorization, and service principals work together to control access. Finally, you’ll learn to use Shared Access Signatures to grant limited, time-bound access to storage without exposing sensitive credentials.
2
Securing Applications with Azure App Configuration and Key Vault
In this chapter, you'll build a strong foundation in securing app settings and sensitive data using Azure App Configuration and Key Vault. You’ll explore how to manage configurations, enable feature flags, and safeguard settings using encryption, private endpoints, and managed identities. Moving into Key Vault, you’ll learn how it stores secrets, keys, and certificates, and how to apply authentication and authorization best practices. Finally, you'll examine advanced protections like Soft Delete and Purge Protection to ensure your critical data remains safe and recoverable.
3
Exploring Managed Identities and Microsoft Graph
In this part of the course, you’ll begin with Azure Managed Identities, seeing how they let applications access resources securely without managing credentials. You’ll then move into Microsoft Graph, where you’ll explore its unified API and practice queries in Graph Explorer. Finally, you’ll advance to techniques like pagination and batching to handle data more efficiently and build scalable integrations.
