Description

Introduction

This training provides a comprehensive understanding of how to architect, design, and deploy microservices using Microsoft Azure. Participants will explore microservices fundamentals, domain-driven design, containerization, API management, DevOps automation, and cloud-native deployment strategies using Azure tools and services. The course blends theory with hands-on practice to help learners build scalable, resilient, and maintainable microservices applications on the Azure cloud platform.

Prerequisites

• Basic understanding of cloud computing

• Familiarity with application development (any language)

• Fundamental knowledge of REST APIs

• Optional: Experience with Azure portal and DevOps concepts
