Azure Training

Azure Administrator

Azure Administrators manage the cloud services that include storage, networking, and compute cloud capabilities. They possess a strong working knowledge of each service across the full IT lifecycle so they can successfully react to end-user requests for new cloud applications. They must have the expertise to make recommendations on services to use for optimal performance and scale, as well as provision, size, monitor and adjust as appropriate. This role requires communicating and coordinating with vendors. Azure Administrators use the Azure Portal and as they become more proficient they use PowerShell and the Command Line Interface.
