Goals include both technology-focused and business-focused goals for migrations, and the benefits to an organizations business. Activities include components of the Azure migration process: creating a project, creating a collector, assessing readiness, and estimating costs. Additionally, you will receive and overview of Azure Site Recovery (ASR) that includes and end-to-end scenarios.
Module 2: Implementing and Managing Application Services
This module includes the following topics:
Module 3: Implementing Advanced Virtual Networking
This module includes the following topics:
As well as an overview of ExpressRoute which allows companies to extend on-premises networks into the Microsoft cloud over a dedicated private connection facilitated by a connectivity provider.
Module 4: Securing Identities
This module includes the following topics with an emphasis on identity and roles:
As well as an overview of Azure AD integration options that focuses on Azure AD Connect to integrate on-premises directories with Azure Active Directory.
Day 3:
Module 1: Selecting Compute and Storage Solutions
This module includes the following topics:
As well as sharding patterns to divide a data store into horizontal partitions, or shards. Each shard has the same schema but holds its own distinct subset of the data.
